Pretty crazy to see Rose and Wade where they are. While Rose doesn't deserve it, it kind of would be a cool comeback for him to make it. If Wade is voted in I feel like the league should consider doing something like a legacy spot if there is a superstar that people want to see one last time so that they don't take a spot away from somebody else. Imagine if Doncic makes it?

Also great to see Walker beating out coke zero in votes. It would be a travesty if he made it in and Walker didn't given how good walker has been.

I really hope in updated polling that Wade and Rose aren't being voted in as starters. That would really hurt a couple of players that deserve to be there over them.

Frankly.. They should not even be on the ballots..
Bloody old Wade as a starter?.. WTH is the league thinking..

Anyways.. I hope when the captains pick their players.. Lebron is forced to pick Wade first... Lol

I am really confused why Rose has so many votes. Is there some big social media campaign to get him in? It is not like the Timberwolves are super popular (or very good). What is up with that?

Trade him for Rubio! He’s not any good.

Tatum in there and not Morris??

It would be an absolute disgrace if Wade makes it. Not a fan of fan voting, especially how they have it setup where you can vote every day. What's the point of that?

Cousins hasn't shown much either this season. Would be a surprise as well if he makes it this year.

It's a popularity contest but hey, the fans pay the bills so there's that.

Wade having more than twice as many votes as Oladioo is just insane.

If the starters don't end up as:

Kyrie/Kemba/Kawhi/Giannis/Embiid

And

Steph/Harden/LeBron/KD/AD

Then the voting needs to be done away with. This, more than most years, it's very obvious who the top 5 are in each conference. I mean it's ridiculously easy this year.

Not much love there for the Nuggets who are leading the west!

Depends on how to define what an All-star is. The NBA has unapologetically made the all-star game about the fans.

Besides, I definitely think you could argue for Simmons or Beal over Walker. Other than that, you are probably right.

Kemba deserves to start, don't think it is really close. For the most part, the rest of that roster is a complete dumpster fire (Batum has fossilized into a horrible player, lost Howard, Kaminsky and MKG never developed). The fact that they are .500 is basically because of Kemba single handedly. Their third leading scoring is Malik Monk!
