Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Why the All-Star game is a joke.


NBA.com released their latest update to the All-Star balloting here and not entirely surprising Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady are second place in guard balloting in their respective leagues.

Kevin Durant is fifth place among forwards behind Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, and Pau Gasol and is the only Thunder player to make the list.

I'm not totally sure whether this makes me want to vote more or stop altogether, but it is good for a giggle or two. On second thought, it would be hilarious to see T-Mac in the ASG.

This post does not necessarily reflect the views of the staff of Welcome to Loud City or SB Nation. However, it was made by one of the members of the Welcome to Loud City community, so there is a large chance the above post is extremely ballin'!

now that is has been mentioned.

I’m very interested in the Rookie/Sophmore game. Do you guys think the Thunder could have multiple rookies playing? Such as Harden, Ibaka, and Maynor? I’m pretty sure Harden is in. This draft class was pretty low on big men, so I really think Ibaka has a chance. How many bigs can that put ahead of him? I can only think of Thabeet, Griffin, Blair, Hill, and Mullens.

The NBA All-Star game is a joke and will continue to be a joke as long as all-star selection criteria is not based on on court performance or stats. The NBA All-Star game is a giant popularity contest on what players are marketed best to the fans.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT

with every single article that comes out concerning AI and Mcgrady and others that do not truly belong in the All Star Game this year, i am starting to realize that “my vote really doesnt matter” and the ASG has now become just a circus.

Would it make since...

if the NBA picked the team, then the fans picked the starters?
