I don't get the gimmicks.

It's bad enough dealing with the foreign votes for the undeserving* Zsa Zsa last year * or the popular fanbase * Wade being a bench player and Thomas playing 1 game*.

But, to have your vote count double on certain days makes it that much worse.

By all accounts the NBA is trending upwards in popularity.

This was unneeded to drum up attention.
Didn't Yao Ming once get voted in or nearly voted in when he was hurt? I feel like that's happened. Or Kobe got voted in while hurt. I get fans should be able to see who they like play, but it's an ALL STAR game.

Thunder look pretty good. Not really a title contender but very talented team, will be a tough out in the playoffs. Russ may be 'selfish' but he's so good he can win like that.

Pfftt.. Cleveland is DONE. Lue needs to go. They need a coach that understands defense. They'll lose in 5 to the Celtics. 6 to the Wizards

Zero chance of the Wizards beating the Cavs.

And I am a Wizards fan.

Truly clueless.

He is definitely top 3.

But, this Dude is in the conversation every year.

The reason why Beasley will never really be in this conversation is because he will never post numbers on a good team. His flaws are very real. Yes, he can score. Until he realizes there is more to the game, he won't be a useful contributor for a non-bad team.

He can win like that against above average teams. Not the really good ones.

Who would have guessed 5 years ago that there'd be a day where Michael Beasley was the more productive player than Derrick Rose.

I actually just went back to look at their draft class and it's a really underrated strong draft.

Derrick Rose
Russell Westbrook
Kevin Love
Brooke & Robin Lopez
DeAndre Jordan
Goran Dragic
Eric Gordon
Danilo Gallinari
Ryan Anderson
Serge Ibaka
Nic Batum
George Hill
Nikola Pekovic
Roy Hibbert

And a bunch of other really strong role players:
Michael Beasley
OJ Mayo
DJ Augustine
Marresse Speights
Javale McGee
Courtney Lee
Kosta Koufos
Mario Chalmers
Luke Mbah a Moute
Jerryd Bayless
