The 2005 All-Star Weekend was held in Denver, so it was only natural that Carmeron Anthony made the Western Conference All-Star reserve roster. It's one of the NBA's unwritten rules; as the star player of the Nuggets, he deserved the honor.
His individual skill certainly warranted the honor.
However, judging by his stats this season, Carmeron Anthony hadn't shown much improvement compared to his rookie year.
In their rookie regular season, Su Xi, Carmeron Anthony, and LeBron James each had their own merits. Su Xi had a better team record and more historic single-game performances.
But now, halfway through this season, Su Xi's overall performance was a step ahead of LeBron James, mainly reflected in his team's record when he was leading them by himself. Stat-wise, the two were pretty close. Su Xi was averaging 22.5 points, 10.6 assists, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.9 steals per game, while LeBron James was averaging 27.6 points, 7.5 assists, and 7.2 rebounds.
