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.
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.
Who cares about that [expletive]? It's basketball and Iverson didn't play any.

Again, dumb.
You do realize I merely presented both sides, and haven't taken a stand either way. In a meaningless exhibition game, who gives a shat...
Kevin Durant should be getting a lot of MVP votes. At least Greg Oden has shared one of his big talents with Portland and everyone else.
How many votes would Derek Jeter get if he were put on the ASG ballot? If it were gone tomorrow I wouldn't miss the NBA ASG at all. Nelly and BowWow can play ball outside their studio for all I care. Give the stars of the first-half a certificate or something.

Zebo has always been incredibly talented, incredibly douchey and a terrible team player. Props to him for his turnaround there, and for his ASG selection. I thought Memphis was going to be a nightmare this year.
So Dunleavy finally got fired in LA. Simmons is probably so happy he might write an actual column. It really is impressive that someone could be that bad at their job and still remain employed for so long, although most of that was due to Sterling being too cheap to buy him out.

Billups was absolutely terrorizing the Lakers. He couldn't miss a shot. The Nuggets are looking very good, even without Carmello right now.
To be able to call on J.R. Smith and Chris Anderson from the bench is huge. Afflalo reminds me of a young healthy Michael Redd. I think the Nuggets are going to do some damage in the playoffs.
Good lord, have you seen the NBA owners' proposed CBA? I realize that it's just a scare the hell out of them before we really start negotiating ploy, but still, wow.
As a fan of one of the smallest market teams in the league I can't like it much. If a player has to make much less money, lots more of which is unguaranteed, for mandated shorter durations, cities like Portland are going to get effed in the a, because endorsements are going to become that much more important.
How is the players union in baseball so much stronger?
