Some thoughts on the Kaman over Boozer for all-star decision.
Official Release from the NBA.
Kaman is named as an all-star reserve to replace Brandon Roy. Hard to imagine how he is picked over someone like Carlos Boozer. Carlos has equal, if not better, stats, and is playing for one of the best teams in the west. What is Stern’s rationale?

Stern has a long memory, and Stern is friends with Gordon Gund, and Carlos Boozer pulled out of a handshake agreement with Gund when he left the Cavs to sign with Utah. I’m not saying that was the determining factor, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it impacted the Commish’s decision. That’s just my opinion. Also, Kaman had a better Olympics than Boozer in Beijing. 
from ESPN Chat with Chris Sheridan.
Rumors were that Stern had Called Boozer and asked him if he wanted or would play in the All-star game. Rumors were that Boozer said “he would be honored”.
I don’t think there is a vendetta against the Jazz I just think it would be hard to justify the Nuggets having 3 or the Jazz having 2 when they can spread the All-star love a little bit.
