Stupid idea. This honor should be for the cream of the crop only. All the league needs to do is take away fan voting so that undeserving players like Kobe and Duncan don't get in.

All stars is for the fans idiot

If the fans want Duncan and Kobe they will be in.

Except half the people who vote don't even watch the game.
You really think all the Justin Bieber fan girls who voted for Lowry are going to tune into the All Star game?

JT normally post shit but he might be right this time.
Don't let the names decide who makes the team. It's a popularity contest now but players who played at the highest level should get awarded.

But it's the people choice mang. And most of those player aside from Kobe would prefer to just relax they weary knees and feet seating at home watching crappy movies with their family instead of playing more basketball than they have too. When you are young I can see the good thing about but Kobe and Duncan been there for 10+ years and they are probably sick of it.

I'd rather have them expand the roster to 20 for both conferences. If the league is heading to a competitive balance state by the years to come. We will end up having NBA super stars for almost every team.

I would rather have a separate All Star game for the older players if the league is so worried about the vets feeling disrespected. How the hell is a coach gonna find playing time for 20 players?

All-Star voting from season ticket holders only, at the arena.


Also, I don't mind if they expand the roster a couple spots if they're going to continue to allow fan votes to make mistakes.


Or how about we get rid of East Coast and West Coast All-Star teams? Just take the best guys, regardless of Conference. Do it pick'em style like they do for the Rising Star game.

Play the guys that are working. If there's someone sucking, sit their ass down back to the bench.

It doesn't matter. That's how you give fans input for who goes to the game...voting. That's how it works.

If they want Iverson. Let 'em vote Iverson.

Why do people care so much about the all star game?

Take it for what it is, a bit of fun, fans get to vote who they like and coaches pick the rest. Seems fair enough.
OP is just a kobe hater and it burns him how many people in the world love kobe

[Al Thornton]

why isn't he trying to get rid of the east/west format

that would actually help, adding more is dumb

[RoundMoundOfReb]

No need. Just don't let idiot fans vote in players like Kobe.

Maybe make it so you can ignore conferences.

I'll admit Id like to see them go back to the old format for dunk comp with judges

[buddha]

it should be 10 guards, 10 forwards, 4 centers and then a fantasy draft by shaq and charles to decide the teams.
