Is it too late to get Marbury on the team? Come on Spurstalk we can do it!

It disproportionally represents teams with enormous fan-bases, like the Rockets and Lakers. You limit it to the arenas and you're not as likely to have ballot-stuffing for scrubs.

The NBA is not going to ignore the fanbase outside of USA. If this happens, there are many people like me who will not be able to vote.

This always happens.. not sure why this is a big deal. And it isn't Big fan teams that this happens to.. Doesn't anyone remember Grant Hill and his one leg getting voted as a starter for atleast 2 years when he first went to Orlando and didn't play any.

It's for the fans... Fans see who they want to see.. When people learn to understand that and not think that you have to have allstar numbers to be an allstar starter then they will stop their ing. Otherwise.. guess what.. more people then not want to see Tmac and AI play.. so you're in the minority.

p.s.

Who gives a .. can't believe people actually watch the allstar game anyways.. it's crap.

The stupidity of these voters is beyond me - Arenas, Iverson, and McGrady what a friggin joke.

This may be the year the NBA hands the voting to the coaches, players, and NBA-beat journalists.

Of course, the NBA may have decided the farce of All Star beauty/popularity contest is better to keep the fans' dollars flowing into the NBA pockets.
