The NBA announced starters for the 2015 All-Star Game Thursday on TNT. No surprise, but no Hawks were among the top vote-getters in the Eastern Conference.
However, two analysts on the TNT panel feel the Hawks should be well-represented in New York next month.
Here is some of what they had to say when discussing the reserves, who will be announced next Thursday.
Charles Barkley on Hawks: "Atlanta Hawks deserve four All-Stars. I reward winning. The Hawks have the second-best record in the NBA."
Charles Barkley on Kyle Korver: "Steph Curry might be the best shooter in the NBA, but I would pay to see Kyle Korver. If I need one wide open jumper, I might go with Korver over Curry. He reminds me of Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr. "
Shaquille O'Neal on Hawks: "They should have three or four guys that make the All-Star team, and I hope they do."
The Hawks (35-8) lead the Eastern Conference by six games. The have a 14-game win streak that will be on the line tonight versus the Thunder.
