I haven't watched a game all season... so busy.

Shaq looks like he lost wait. Appears to be in a lot better condition.

how did that sound, the Czar coached an all star game with, Isaiah Thomas at PG, MJ at SG, Nique at SF, Larry Bird at PF and Moses Malone at C.

ya, not a bad team i'd say.

Thats the problem with fan voting.
Good idea but terrible results, it's really just a popularity contest.

NEWSFLASH: It's supposed to be a popularity contest, that's the whole point.

Ohh, I'm sorry I thought players that played the best throughout the season deserved to be there.

Granted many are, they are a lot of players that don't deserve to be there due to fan voting. (best example:vince carter last season)

I mean do you really think that Vince Carter really is the best player in the league right now?
The top vote getter should be the best player in the league, not just a guy that can pull some insane dunks.

All-Star rosters should be left to coaches and management because they all know these players better than us.

i forget who, but someone said it best: the all star game is for the fans.

the NBA is smart to market the most popular players in the all-star game. obviously, it's who the fans want to see the most.

No, I don't think that Vince Carter is the best player in the league. But that really isn't what the game is about anymore. The game is about putting on a show. So if it's Vince Carter that the people want, then it's Vince Carter that the people will get. The people running the NBA are not morons. They know perfectly well that fan voting isn't entirely based on talent. But if they really wanted a team based entirely on talent, they wouldn't have instated the fan voting system in the first place.

Actually the NBA says the All - Star game is their for them (The NBA ) to promote the games. That is why the tickets start at $500.00 and go up. They are absolutely NOT marketing to the general public.
Fvck the NBA.
