Sixer fans hope that this is the first of many selections for the still-improving point. Read more about Jrue's reaction here: http://goo.gl/fvNYe

Holiday will be a 2013 AS |
Holiday is well-deserving of his first all-star
birth, and this should be the season for him to take the leap. With all-star shoe-in Derrick Rose still
sidelined, and other assumed all-star Deron Williams playing sup-par, Holiday
has an enhanced opportunity to stake his claim as one of the East’s top guards.
Jrue has elevated his career stats in almost every
area, jumping from 12.9 points per game for his career to an impressive 19.4
this season, while upping his assits from 5.6 a game for his career to 9 per
this year, good for fourth in the League.
He has been able to do this while also improving upon his shooting
percentage and developing into the young Sixers’ clear-cut leader.
Holiday has built a buzz around the League with his
improved play and the next logical step on the ladder would be his first
all-star berth. Holiday is looking to
become the second Sixer in two seasons to make the team, following Andre’s
Iguodala’s selection last season.
Holiday has alrerady lost the popularity portion of
the voting. Now if he participates in
the game is up for the coaches to determine, but it is certainly deserved.
