    They should just make it top 24 by fan votes, irrespective of conference, and let the top two pick their teams playground style.

    The fan vote counts 50%. And is the tie-breaker.
    Media 25%
    Players 25%

    Steve Kyler didn't vote for Harden.
    He voted CP3 and Westbrook.

    The media vote for All Star will be very telling about the MVP vote.

    Regarding the media all-star vote, the votes are anonymous unless the person makes them public. Unlike the MVP voting where we get to see who voted for who.

    Would be entertaining but Vegas would hate it. How will gamblers place their bets?

    He's getting crucified on Twitter. He's also saying that Harden has his MVP vote, but not his All-Star starter vote which doesn't make any ******* sense.

    Well he's a moron and even rubs that in a little with his west was easy to pick comment. It's good for people like that to publicly out themselves as such so we can completely disregard their opinion in the future. I hope his job doesn't involve covering sports.

    If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

    Harden "plays an unappealing style of basketball"

    Expect many more media members to vote this way. They are huge Westbrook dicc riders and clearly still on Curry too since it's been less than a year since they gave him the first unanimous MVP

    It's pretty ironic Harden is finally getting the recognition he deserves from the fans and now this year their(our) power is cut in half.

    Makes no sense at all.

    I can only think he needs attention on twitter because his retweet numbers and views are falling, and he has an Unlikely Incentive Bonus attached to his Twitter performance analytics

    People like Curry because he isn't this super athletic guy nor super tall. He doesn't dunk or anything and somehow he is really good. Plus to be honest, he's racially ambiguous.
