Isn't the All star game FOR the fans though?

They say that, but players have bonuses based on making it, so I doubt they think so.

Here Are The Most Ridiculous NBA All-Star Votes From The Players

Who the hell is Spenser Dinwiddie?

Players stopped taking it seriously because they hate the voting process. Similar to how they hold their own awards now.

Stopped taking it seriously?

Last year was the first year they could vote.

When did they ever take it seriously?

Who do you think got slighted?

KAT?

Butler?

Jimmy should for sure get named a reserve.

But, he got screwed by being listed as a guard.

Way to much competition.

Now, I agree with you here.

That's why they are no longer allowed to use it to calculate bonuses.

They can only use All NBA and MVP, DPOY etc.

Not KAT, he was not good for the first half. Butler was always going to be a reserve.

When did that come into effect? That is a great call

I maintain you have to cross half court on defense to qualify

Lol...what does that mean?

Is he doing a LaMelo Ball, Devin Booker?

I have only watched 2 full Pelican games this year.

So, clue me in.

When he he gets upset he will just stop. A lot of games on tv where it looks like there are 9 players on the court. As long as he gets his way he is elite though.

Agree.

A few guys have missed out on bigger paydays because of that stupid clause.

Davis and Kyrie are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

I'm not saying that he deserves to make it nor would he, but Donovan Mitchell was not even on the ballot. I guess it depends on when they make the ballot. But I think the reason why they don't allow everyone to be on there is because they don't want to situation like Zaza last year or something. I might be getting the name wrong. I thinking about the person who got voted a lot by their country but clearly was not an all star.

Donovan really started to step it up in the last month or so. For him to be on the ballot pretty much every rookie would have needed to be on the ballot.

Scratching my head on how Cousins isn't worthy of an All-Star start. He's been the best center in basketball this season.

Using this topic to share my picks for the rest of the team. Share yours too. Keep in mind its 2 more backcourt players (guards), 3 more frontcourt (f and c), and 2 wildcards

East: Wall, Oladipo, Love, Horford, Pozingis, Beal, Drummond

Last spot was tough between Drummond, Walker, Whiteside, and Simmons. Felt like one all star was enough for Philly and Charlotte isn't good this year and Walker's numbers are down just slightly. I gave Drummond the edge over Whiteside because he's played more games.

West: Westbrook, Butler, Green, KAT, Aldridge, Lillard, Lou Williams

The last 2 spots were really hard here. Left out Thompson, George, Jordan. Went with Lillard because this dude is a baller and he's constantly getting overlooked. He needs to stop getting snubbed. And I've got Sweet Lou just edging out Thompson as he's having a career year. He's pretty much been keeping the Clippers alive all by himself

Drop Drummond, Add Dragic in the East.

Shit, I might put Tobias and in over Drummond.

* biased *

Drop Dame, Add Klay in the West.

It hurts my heart to do that to Dame.

He should have made it last year.

But, I give Lou the nod because he deserves it and the game is in LA.

Give Klay the nod because of winning.

Dame has spent Years Being the odd man out, this year he would have broken through, but Butler moved to the west. He has some terrible luck.
