NBA All-Star 2014 Snubs React On Their Non-Inclusions; Lance Stephenson Says He Will ‘Kill’ Everyone; Goran Dragic Is Sad

The NBA-All Star 2014 reserves have been announced. Familiar names were there. However, as what we always hear in the annual event, some think that not all that were selected deserve to be in the list.

For the Eastern Conference, the reserves are DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors), Paul Millsap (Atlanta Hawks), John Wall (Washington Wizards),Joe Johnson (Brooklyn Nets), Roy Hibbert (Indiana Pacers), Joakim Noah (Chicago Bulls), and Chris Bosh (Miami Heat).

The Western Conference bench will be powered by Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks), LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers), James Harden (Houston Rockets), Dwight Howard (Rockets), Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers), Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs) and Chris Paul (L.A. Clippers).

The guys mentioned above are playing really well for their respective teams. However, some argue that their spot are better off be given to others like Pacer's Lance Stephenson, Phoenix Suns Goran Dragic, Sacramento Kings DeMarcus Cousins, and New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis. These guys have been in the talks of the All-Star all-season long. However, they failed to make it. What do they say about this?

Stephenson, who leads the league in numbers of triple double, was furious about the snub. Speaking to Michael Pointer of The Indianapolis Star, he said:

"I'm mad. I feel like I had my breakout year last year. I showed I can play with anyone on the floor and I felt like this year, I brought a little bit more to my game."

 

"Now I'm going to kill everybody who is in front of me. Like I said, whoever made it in front of me or whoever is in my position who people think whose in front of me, I'm definitely going to go after them."

 

While Stephenson was mad, Dragic was really sad about it.

"I didn't want to know," Dragic told the Arizona Republic. "I was a little bit sad, emotional, because I really wanted that. You've got hope, and you know that you deserve it. I know it was a tough selection with so many great players in the West, but it still hits you."

Cousins, surprisingly, didn't react violently about it. However, he posted a tweet congratulating his former Kentucky teammate John Wall for the selection.

Anthony Davis is yet to speak about the matter.
