Chris Kaman getting screwed by All-Star voters

[peskypesky]

Chris Kaman is 8th in voting for Western Conference center!!!???

Are you kidding me? Look at his numbers, fer chrissakes: 18pts, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks, +25.5 EFF. And he's in 8th place??!?!

He's the leading rebounder in the West (tied with Camby).
He's 3rd in scoring for Western centers (tied with Aldridge).
He's 2nd in blocks for Western centers.
And he leads ALL Western centers in efficiency.

But he's 8th in voting?

What the f--- is wrong with people?

He plays in the West. Honestly would you vote for him over Stoudemire, Yao or Aldridge?

Problem: He's not sexy.
Solution: Get a tan so he can become the brown Tim Duncan.

:lol

If he gets a tan, he'll be more like Oberto

so is Andrew

Too young he will get there but not for the next few years. Don't forget Oden also when he comes back next season he will likely be on the ballot.

Lesser more popular players are getting the nod over much more deserving players.

So what else is new?

Is the All Star game! I see nothing wrong with people voting for players they want to see. Besides the voters usually pick the right players for the starters. The coaches will chose the players think are deserving.


I have no problem with the leading vote getters with maybe the exception of McGrady. I think Nash and Paul are getting snubbed for a player who is not even playing now. Is the Yao effect. In the East I think Billups is more deserving then Kidd.

Kaman isn't All-Star starting material. However, it wouldn't surprise me if he is voted on by coaches. I'd say about 40% chance. Again, the post position in the West is premium..There is Tim, Boozer, Yao, Amare, Aldridge....If Kaman were out in the East he'd be a lock to make the All-Star team.

Even in the East he won't make it as a starter. He is not getting pick over Howard. As a reserve yes.

I do vote for him. Every day.

Well I don't think he is starting material for the game but is your right to vote for who ever you want.

I read an article about the quirkiness of the All-Star balloting, particularly those by the coaches. It explained how a less deserving player gets voted in instead of someone who does deserves the spot. The error is in the system.

I'll try to post the link if I could ever find the article again.

Well I still can't figure out why Pachulia is on the ballot.

Antoine Walker is on the ballot as a guard. Go figure.

The Clippers suck.

It's easy to get lots of rebounds when your teammates can't hit a shot.

You do realize this shit happens every year right?

If Elton Brand couldnt get on the team a few years ago when the Clips sucked, i dont know how Kaman will get on the team this year...However the 2 centers taken IMO this year should be Kaman and Yao...Amare shouldnt be on the team

[SpursDynasty]

Dwight Howard, LeBron James, and Josh Howard should not be on the All Star team

[Fillmoe]
