Miller: Griffin undeserving of All-Star spot

Anger over LaMarcus Aldridge's omission surfaced in Portland almost immediately at the Trail Blazers' practice but not from the snubbed player. It was from Blake Griffin's nemesis, Andre Miller. A former Clipper, Miller, who was suspended for a game after smashing into Griffin, declared that the young guys were getting too much respect in the NBA. "They are putting this guy on every ESPN highlight," he said to the Oregonian. "Yeah, it's cool because fans want to see that, but you isolate him from his team. Especially ... he ain't made nobody better. It's basically his rookie year, as an All-Star? LeBron James didn't make an All-Star team as a rookie." Miller added that he wasn't "a hater."
