Better late than never: Nets’ Lopez gets All-Star nod, replaces Celtics’ Rondo
Nets general manager Billy King recently called Brook Lopez’s All-Star snub “a disgrace.”
NBA Commisioner David Stern must have been listening.
Less than a week after Brooklyn’s top scorer and second-leading rebounder was denied a trip to the Feb. 17 NBA All-Star Game in Houston, the commissioner’s office on Wednesday evening decided to give the 7-foot center a spot on the Eastern Conference squad in place of injured Boston point guard Rajon Rondo.
