They should be changing the All-Star game to 13 players anyways now that the NBA allows that many active per team for a nba game. Or leave it 12 legit players and have 1 kobe pick per year extra (next year duncan, year after dirk, etc.)
The guy actually had a pretty good season so far. Tied for 15th in double doubles. Now that isn't all-star starter material but in some years that might be replacement player good. Kind of speaks to the lack of great bigs (although that isn't as big of an excuse now that they got rid of the Center position in voting).
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is the list for the reserves that gets announce at 4:00 pm, PST. If Lillard doesn't get in, at least I don't have to waste 2.5 hours of a Sunday watching a no-defense, Kobe suck-up, mess of a game and being annoyed when Dame only gets 10 minutes of PT.
Yeah it must have been since I doubt it was the Dallas fans. Otherwise we would have seen more votes for Dirk as well.
Not sure when 10ppg and 10rpg became replacement level. I doubt that even touches "former allstar" Jamal Magloire level.
So the fact that none of the main stream guys are tweeting anything yet tells me that this is not "Breaking News" in that some dude in Delaware likely doesn't have more info.
You are right. Rebounds are roughly the same but Magloire scored a couple more points per game that year.
It's just weird to me that this year is such an anomaly. Did Europe just realize that he plays in the nba? He hasn't had that kind of voting support in the part, and he has been playing for quite some time. Like I said, people are strange.
Maybe Howard Stern is behind it all... (Didn't he get Taylor Hicks to win American Idol or something by telling his listeners to vote?)
It was basically the internet trolling the NBA. Just like the NHL goon that won the fan vote because random non-hockey fans decided it would be fun to make a mockery of the voting process.
