    Need more votes for Howard. Nice to see harden catch up to Kobe.

    Dwight doesn't really deserve to be an all star so I'm not too worried about him. Everyone ahead of him on that list except maybe Aldridge is better than him.

    Jerry Lin gained some ground with Kobe on the bench.

    Starters in East should be: Pau, James & Horford / Millsap + Wall / Lowry & Butler

    Starters in West should be: Davis, Gasol & Aldridge + Curry & Harden

    I'm surprised Harden has the 5th most votes of all players in the voting, behind LeBron, Curry, Kobe, and Davis. Factor in Durant and you could say he's arguably the 6th most popular player in the NBA. That's pretty impressive for a guy known for his fail defense gifs.

    He may not be as flashy but he's having a significantly better season than Blake Griffin (18 and 11.5 on 60% shooting vs. 22 and 8 on 48% shooting). His offensive game is just so ugly people overlook his production. Those are amazing numbers, even if he wasn't a defensive powerhouse.

    Considering the troll-hate Harden gets from other teams' fans and sportswriters, yes, it's good to see him getting votes. Naturally he should be ranked higher, but the coaches aren't as dumb as the fans.

    Would be good not to see Kobe start, though.

    Just like everything else about the NBA, the all star voting is rigged. I have absolute confidence that a MVP candidate like Harden will overtake old man Kobe by the time the final votes are tallied.

    That being said, I'm still voting as much as I can remember for Harden!

    Kobe is hurt so there's a chance he may not play.


    But it being in New York, dude wants to play.
