First Returns: All Star Voting 2014

[DMC]

If players like Tim and Tony are concerned about All Star voting, they should either be more publicly involved or play for a higher profile team. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. The fact that Yao Ming was a top vote getter in years he never even suited up is testament enough of the validity of the AS vote in relation to quality of player.

The only thing the NBA could do about it is have a minimum level of games played where you qualify for the AS game, but since it's an American business, it's all about what the Chinese want.

I just look at who would be the starting 5 for each conference, not who else is getting votes. For example, Lin has a lot of votes, but he's not getting in as a starter, and he's DEFINITELY not going to be selected by the coaches.

So with that, in the East, the only one I have an issue with is Carmello. He's terrible and his team is terrible. Should be Hibbert easy.
The back court selections are ok considering the choices, maybe John Wall should be up there.

In the West, the front court should include Aldridge, before Griffin.
The back court, no issue with Paul, but definitely NO KOBE. Should be Harden, Curry, Westbrook, TP or Lillard.
