Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson were selected as reserves for the NBA All Star Game on Thursday, marking the first time that three players from the Magic have been on the same All Star team.
Think about what this means... besides the fact Orlando is really good this season.
Actually that is exactly what it means. The All Star reserves are voted on by opposing coaches (Stan Van Gundy could not vote for his own players). So really Lewis and Nelson's selection is a ringing endorsement of what Orlando is doing and how the team is playing.
Clearly this is a sign that the league believes the Magic are heading in the right direction.
I think both players are more than deserving (I really only have a complaint with David West making the All Star team, but to say Carmelo Anthony is a snub is ludicrous... he is injured, he cannot play anyway).
This is a great accomplishment for the franchise.
