First All Star Ballot

[Who]

If Melo and LeBron start, I think Garnett could miss the All-Star game.

Amare Stoudemire and Chris Bosh will likely have much better numbers than KG does and get the nod as backup PFs. Might be tough for the coaches to get KG in there, as a third reserve power forward, with those guys already in place.

KG should not even be in consideration for the all star team.

Too early to say one way or the other.

Is it only me that would find it utterly hilarious if a bench player in Ricky Rubio gets selected for the AllStars while Kevin Love, their franchise player dosnt?

Fan voting. Got to love it. Brought you such all-stars as A.C. Green and BJ Armstrong.

Hey, way to go Ricky Rubio! Third place in the West.

Impressive fan following for such a young player / backup PG.

Yeah, Rubio is the new Yao Ming as far as claiming the foreign votes apprarently

Except Spain is not nearly as big a factor in the voting as China.

except Yi didn't have the luxury of China voting for him, which I'm glad didn't happen

but Rubio so far is posting really good numbers

Interesting how Los Angeles is housing 4 out of the 5 West starters, even though I would probably start Dirk over Griffin.
