Gordon, Deng overlooked again

[645]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Bulls were snubbed yet again for Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.
With Jason Kidd of the New Jersey Nets out of the game with a back injury, commissioner David Stern on Wednesday named Joe Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks to take Kidd's spot on the Eastern Conference roster -- bypassing Ben Gordon or Luol Deng of the Bulls.

When the All-Star reserves were announced two weeks ago, the Bulls felt they deserved to have a player in the game because they had one of the better records in the conference. They were even more adamant after Johnson was selected because the Hawks took a 20-31 record into Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
