This is why fans should not pick the All-Star game and Pro Bowl.

The All Star Voting has become a joke.
Fans shouldn't be able to vote anymore...

I think im'a have to finally agree that the fan voting needs to stop. I feel that's maybe one of the reasons we only have a handful of"superstars"in the league, is because other guys aren't getting a chance to shine.
Tmac and Wade are my boys for sure, and still two of my favorite players but they definitely do NOT deserve to be in the game thus far, let alone starting.

Tracy Haagen Daaz McGrady is still up there, but A.I. making a late push.

Hopefully, Chris Paul will get some love from the coaches. And how in the halibut is Shaq second? I mean, I know he is Shaq and all, but dayum.

I whole heartily agree. I wouldn't be upset if I lost the right to vote for the all-stars as long as they get the roster right.
I guess we really should have voted Antoine Walker to let David Stern know that there's something wrong with the system.

Any rumors/speculation on maybe who will be participating in the 3PT and Dunk Contest?
I hear Dwight Howard wants another go at it.

No, we didn't start watching the NBA this year. Like you, we have been fans of the NBA and their players. We are just tired of this happening. It'stime for a change. Most people are going to vote for players they they've heard of. Not everybody is knowledgeable about the NBA. Casual fans also vote.Casual fans, for the most part, are going to vote for players they've heard of. That's why players like Gilbert Arenas, Tracy McGrady, and others aregetting so many votes. They are household names. We just want change because there is obviously something wrong with the system.

Baron needs a commercial like Bosh. Maybe it won't be enough to send him to the All-Star Game, but it would be pretty damn entertaining. I would want tosee that.

So only "knowledgeable fans" should be allowed to vote?
Even if you were to stick a set of NBA skill-testing questions on each ballot, where you had to answer correctly to even make your vote count, that stillwouldn't stop "knowledgeable" fans from voting with bias.
For example, a "knowledgeable" fan from Miami may know his stuff, but would still vote for Dwyane Wade over Jason Kidd because he plays for the Heat.
A "knowledgeable" Chinese fan may vote Yi Jianlian in over KG, just because he wants his country represented on both conferences.
Do you honestly think that David Stern would yank voter privileges from the fans? Give it up. It's pointless to even complain about it, because it'snever, EVER, going to change.
