Allen Iverson is starting in the All-Star game.

Is it time to take the fans vote away yet?

I can see both sides of it...it's obviously very silly that Iverson is in the game. OTOH, it's a fans game, and that's how they want it.

It's not a fan's game. It's basketball and he's hardly played this season.

Dumb.

Chris Douglas-Roberts has my vote.
Chris Douglas-Roberts

2008-2009 Stats: 4.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.3 steals

2009-2010 Stats: 16.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals

The New Jersey Nets have had little to be pleased about after starting the season with an 18-game losing streak. The improvement of Chris Douglas-Roberts has been one of their rare bright spots. Taking over a starting job in place of the traded Vince Carter, Douglas-Roberts has more than tripled his scoring and rebounding output without losing any shooting efficiency. Chris Douglas-Roberts is one of the NBA's most improved players in 2010.
Why is David Lee not on this list? Has his improvement been too gradual?

He was really good last year. No D, but he led the league in double-doubles.

I don't follow the whole league, but Noah is head and shoulders better than he was last year for sure. They said he has a gym in his house that would rival any health club, the guy really put the time in over the summer to get stronger.

He's easily our second most important player. Watching in person last night I was struck by how much he affected the post defense when he was in the game.

Well, by the fact that the NBA allows the fan's to vote for the starters, they believe it is a fan's game. It's an exhibition game voted on by the fan's = Fan's game.

By trading Ninja Turtle Devin Brown to the Bulls and Bobby Brown to the Clippers, the Hornets are now under the luxury tax and are eligible to receive an extra five million dollars.
