I don’t propose taking the votes away from the fans.

I am, however, all for educating them one disillusioned fan at a time.

I agree since mcgradys performance has been horrible the past few years and chris has been crazyyy he definitley deserves this years spot. But if tmac ever gets back to his normal self.. he'd be in like kobe without a question. Plus even now when he sucks he's still more popular than ever. But well played chris paul...I don't see him taking mvp though, not with the roster the east has this year. Please, if tmac was still healthy and never got injured..people would be like chris who?

Last year McGrady SUCKED and people in the media were calling for him to win the MVP AWARD when Houston went on it's winning streak! UNBELIEVABLE! Same BS as when the media told us that all 4 Pistons had to be on the All-Star team because they had the best record in the league. Would they vote him in this year? No. But if he was playing at THIS LEVEL right now, was healthy, and Houston was the second best team in the West - he'd be on people's MVP ballots again. Guaranteed! Remember, it's not how well you play, it's how popular you are and how much your team wins. Hoff: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you let unqualified people vote for the President, then we should let anybody for NBA all-star which should be considered less important. Anything less is undemocratic. I voted for Stephan Marbury. Why is NBA voting more important that Presidential voting?

Do you think the media would vote for McGrady? Having the coaches pick the starters and letting the fans choose the reserves is an interesting idea. Tsunami:

The media creates the reputations of the players that the fans vote on anyway. If China wants to see Shane Battier play - let him come off the bench. Let the coaches pick the starters. And let them pick their own players. that will make for some good storylines when coaches start getting abused for picking or not picking their own players. The NBA loves controversy.

I focused on Chris Paul's omission, but I don't think Iverson deserves to play in the All-Star game either. Devin Harris, Joe Johnson and Rajon Rondo are more deserving. Thanks Tom.

I completely agree with John Reid's comments, as well as Ray Allen's. The fan vote counts for too much in the NBA. Great compilation here, Brandon.
