    Alston? Seriously?

    I see the potential for fewest votes all-time.

    It's funny cause Battier hasn't even played a game for us yet...I don't even want to discuss Alston...LOL...

    I'm as much a homer as the next guy but what was anyone thinking by putting Alston in the ballot? Seriously.

    The big 3 are clear all-star candidates with Scola and Battier not deserving but filling out the ballot. Rafer? Not even close.

    Our players simply do not belong on the All Star team despite the very populous Asian nation ...

    Lol if Rafer is even in the voting, than Aaron Brooks should be a guaranteed starter.

    To be fair, I don't see how there's any room for guards not named Bryant, Nash, Paul, or Williams.

    holy crap guys, enough bagging on alston. he didn't ask to be put on there.

    others who aren't all star candidates on the ballot: jameer nelson, anthony parker, MARBURY, jamal crawford, ray felton, McDyess!, Yi, Z, Perkins, Big Ben, Barbosa (while he still plays 25-30 mpg or whateveR), Conley, Raja Bell, JR Smith, Jason Terry, Udrih, Bruce Bowen, Grant Hill, Wilcox, Collison

    Guess what? They put some extras on the ballot.

    hmmm so far no one has played well enough to earn my vote.

    scola may be the closest one.

    you can pencil in the starters though more than likely:

    bryant
    paul
    amare
    carmello or duncan
    yao


    east
    wade
    iverson
    james
    bosh
    howard

    Yeah the west is pretty much set.

    I think Joe Johnson can take Iverson's spot and KG could take Bosh's.

    It's kind of funny that Alston is first on that list of West Guards because it's in alphabetical order. It just stands out as a massive WTF.

    Also, this must not be the final list becuase I can't find Luther Head's name on it.

    No Luther Head!?!?!

    This is a travesty. Someone contact the league office.

    Lets all do a write in vote. I think with the help of China, we could get Stevie Franchise in the starting lineup without him even playing yet. :D Now that would be funny.

    First Chuck Hayes gets left off all the poles here and now off the All-Star Ballot. What does he have to do to get some respect?
