Jazz forward Paul Millsap wasn't listed on the Western Conference All-Star ballot and he's using the snub as motivation.

"That's weird," Deron Williams said. "You would definitely think with what he did even last year he would be on the All-Star ballot.

"He's probably been overlooked his whole career, going back to high school," Williams added, "so he's no stranger to it. It's probably a lot of his motivation."

Millsap brought averages of 21.5 points and 9.5 rebounds into Friday's game.

"I'm not tripping over it," Millsap said. "It's not a big deal to me....My main thing is to win."

Millsap said he wants outsiders to continue doubting in him.

"This is still one of the things that I use to get over humps, to fight over adversity," Millsap said. "I use what other people say to my advantage....It kind of gives you a little extra (motivation), a little extra oomph about yourself, makes you want to go out there and show yourself."
