    Meh, all star games bore me!!!!!!!!! The season bores me!!!!!!!

    Bring on the playoffs please, and get people actually fighting for something.

    82 games is too much IMO, if it were shorter there'd be alot more competitiveness in the games. Like maybe playing each team twice, home & away, or even just once.

    You'd have to ask how many of these people voting actually watch basketball or just vote based on rep. D Howard can blow hot and cold but he deserves top centre spot. Battier has double the votes of the Matrix? Boozer's that low? How the hell did Stephon Marbury get more than 100,000 votes. Tracy McGrady doesn't deserve his vote getting and Camby should be miles ahead of Dampier. Chandler's been a monster on the boards too.
