Just wait for China to start voting, and KG might to sub Yi in the coming years

I don’t know how I feel about an all-star game without Duncan and KG starting as the West’s forwards, or Grant Hill starting for the East…we gotta get toine and gilzero in there

I don’t have anything against Yao Ming, but I feel strangely happy that he’s not leading.

Regarding Toine, I gotta be honest: It’s nice to see that the Internet isn’t always as powerful as it’s cracked up to be.

No surprise here. Garnett deserves it. And Gumdrop: don’t worry, Yao will be in the lead before long.

You know, Garnett was much more valuable to his team EVERY OTHER YEAR BESIDES THIS ONE. All Star Balloting is a hoax.

All-star voting is not MVP voting, Mo. Act like you know.

KG is getting all the great pub right now, and deservingly so. But I suspect he doesn’t think he deserves it. Ray Allen and Pierce are on top of their games too.

I can’t see T Mac starting over Nash or Chris Paul out west. He’ll probably gets more votes but he doesn’t deserve it. He’ll probably be hurt anyway by the time All Star weekend comes along.

Do you know that Stephon Marbury actually was an all-star in this league? I’m simply lost for words.

@ Cap : I suspect that KG thinks that he is very deserving

uhhh…how about addressing the biggest travsety: deron williams not being in the TOP 10 west guards. How is that possible? Can’t even begin to explain how absurd that is. He’s a top 3 guard in the entire league and he can’t crack the top 10 in the West guard position?

Has anybody even thought about what it’ll be like to have KG and Dwight Howard in the same lineup playing together! wow the east might take it this year!
Dec.14 at 8:54 pm
Holiday says:
Oh and it’s a damn shame that Deron Williams won’t be in the running to start for the west and a crime if he’s not on the West Squad at all!!!!

So I guess this is officially the end of Shaq’s all-star days. I can’t wait until he and Chuck share a studio.
Dec.15 at 8:45 pm
Hursty says:
that would be the funniest sh#t. could they even both fit in the studio? We know how big Sir Charles got after he stopped playing… what about Shaq?

I think the all-star voting is ridiculous. For example: Deron Williams didn’t even crack the top 10 for West guards. Fans shouldn’t get to pick.
