Do people really critique the player when he's been selected undeservedly? Most people get upset at the fans or the league for implementing the flawed system. I can't recall an instance where the fan reaction was to ask the player to actively reject their invitation for a more deserving replacement.
You get invited, you go. It's an honor and, deserved or not, it's bad form to decline an All Star Selection.

I don't disagree that it's an honor to be, and disrespectful to not go, especially if selected by the fans (regardless of how merited the selection is).
I do think you are under estimating how much noise there would be around his presence as an undeserving all-star if he hadn't gotten 3,000 in such a spectacular way, or if he had failed to get 3,000 at all. Maybe it wouldn't be directed "at" him, but it would be a tremendous maelstrom around him, either way, he's in the center of a shit-storm.
