From Boston.com:
Former Celtic Gary Payton disputed Garnett’s All-Star selection during a TNT telecast Thursday. “Garnett shouldn’t be starting,” Payton said. “Some guys out there are playing better than him and [Allen Iverson]. [Chris] Bosh would take [Garnett's] spot; he’s playing way better than him. We are talking about a guy consistently performing every night; [Garnett is not performing] the way he was.” Payton has also criticized the play of Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, who finished out of the top 11 in voting but is considered a candidate to be named to the team by the coaches.

I watched that telecast and it was beyond annoying. First of all, nobody can replace Charles Barkley. They need to bring him back. I’m sure he’s learned his lesson and next time he gets hammered and an opportunity for a great bj comes up, he’ll call a car service or something. I’ll fk-ing drive him myself if I have to. Secondly, I was already at a place where I was just barely tolerating Chris Webber and then they bring on the absolute worst panelist they could find… Gary Payton. No. No, no, no, no, no! Dear TNT – Do NOT ruin one of my favorite shows with your horrible decision-making. There has to be someone – anyone – who can fill in for Charles who isn’t as much of an asshole.
