First Returns: All Star Voting 2014

[CitizenDwayne]

Parker's having a worse year than last year

But Parker was probably the 2nd best PG in the NBA last year, after CP3, and in the MVP running. He may have taken a step down, but he should still be at least in the All-Star discussion.

[lefty]

lmao ASG

So much wrong...

I love Timmy, but how is he ahead of guys like Aldridge/Dirk? If he keeps up his recent play I can see it, but after that horrible start, he still has a ways to go.

Jeremy Lin over Parker? Where the is Ty Lawson? Lillard coming in at last behind Steve Nash?

Derrick Rose and Kyrie Irving over John Wall? Rose was horrible before getting re-injured and Kyrie has been in a huge slump this year.

Garnett and Chandler over Drummond? Garnett has been utter , and Chandler played, what, 5 games before getting injured? Meanwhile Drummond is having a great year.

Of course, the greatest part is Kobe coming in at #1 despite playing in two games and contributing to ZERO wins.

This voting goes to show how stupid and clueless the average NBA fan is.

[Skull-1]

The Kobe thing is blatant homerism. Ridiculous. What a tool.

[weebo]

I'm a true fan of the sport, I don't spend much time paying attention to or watching such garbage.

[heyheymymy]

If Lin makes it ahead of Parker & Westbrook I doubt the NBA will keep the current system. That's just egregious

agreed and kobe being included is just laughable. a farce of a farce.

[jacuza20]

Did you see his "I'm back" video? He's a living legend. Just ask him.

to be fair, he kind of is a legend whether you like him or not. I mean how many 35 year olds do you know would come back after an achilles injury?

[DPG21920]

I will never understand why Spur fan gets so worked up over the All Star game. It's an event, as HH said, for the fans. Like it or not, outside of SA not many people like the Spurs . I enjoy AS weekend still overall, but it has become quite terrible over the years. It's nothing to be angry about though.

[TheGoldStandard]

All Star Game is for casual fan, celebs and fanboys nothing to see here.

[thunderup]

nobody wants to watch fundamental basketball in an event that is suppose to be about high flying dunks and flashy passes. Like others have mentioned, I don't know why Spurfan gets so mad.

[DAF86]

Kobe, Paul, Harden, Curry, Westbrook. Damn, Tony may not make it. Would be pretty funny to be one of the best teams in the league and have no-one represent us in the all-star game.

Two games is a comeback? America is doomed.

Because it is one of the criteria used to define "great" players. Our guys get screwed in the annals of history as a result.

[DPG21920]

I would love it if the Spurs had no one TBH. I want them chillin'. The only thing I care about is the 3 point contest and as long as a Spur gets selected for that, I am happy. Hopefully Danny can get his stroke back and if not him, Beli..

I agree but I see can where the frustration comes from.

HH and you might get it, but the fact of the matter is that many Analyst still use All-Star appearances to gauge a players importance/skill level etc. That affects players in the short run with contracts and people also use it when discussing legacies.

After what Danny did in the finals last year, I would think he actually stands a chance to be in the contest. Would be fun to see him and Neal face off, as well as Allen and Miller, and Bonner and Novak (all west vs east action).

[toki9]

Jabba?

[PlayNando]

NBA FANS ARE STUPID. FK THEM. KOBE IS A POS SCRUB WHO HAS JUST SAT INJURED ALL YEAR.

[Raven]

so west wins by 50+ points

[Sean Cagney]

All Star Game is for casual fan, celebs and fanboys nothing to see here.

I have not watched it in years, the Dunk Contest I used to watch but even now I don't watch that crap. If I WERE at a bar maybe and see some crap there while drinking, otherwise NO.. I won't even bother.

[racm]

Only the starters get voted in, the coaches still pick the reserves.

So Timmy/Tony getting in will still happen.
