More importantly, Pierce hasn't played nearly well enough to merit inclusion. Yes, he's taken up the challenge of guarding top wing players and done an excellent job of it; on the other hand, Rondo is even better on D and outranks him in PER, and other wings who play major defensive roles (Johnson, Andre Iguodala, Rashard Lewis) also outrate him.
Vote Iguodala over Pierce for the All-Star game!
