Like Idris?

I'm a goofy white guy, but I almost always date black girls, I luff them.

Spoiler: NSFW

I'd let her take me out for steak dinner.

The player turnout for All-Star voting could have been better. A decent amount did not submit a ballot, I'm told.

I wonder if Westbrook voted for Durant?

Love wasn't going to start over Butler or the Greek Freak. Don't even need to mention Lebron either.

Teams are that desperate to have their player make the AS team?

For bad teams, yes. It provides a lone bright spot to their season. It also lets the team have additional marketing opportunities to draw more revenue with an "all-star" to tout around.

Only 2 out of 10 I had an issue with. Russ and IT should be starting. Kyrie and Steph should be reserves

No All Star game for Wade this year

Didn't realize that Wade's 18.8 ppg this year are his lowest since his rookie year. Although he averaged 19.0 last year & was an All Star.

Last year he only made it due to the fan vote. If the same system was in place then he wouldn't have made it. This new system is going to kill those veteran players who would make it on fan vote. Not going to see a lot of greats in their 15th or 16th year making AS teams anymore as we saw previously with Kobe, Dirk, KG, and Timmy.
