    Good idea as long as the players give some effort.

    I like the idea, but I would like to see them expand the number of players for each squad to 9 or 10. Every year there are guys who get left off who have solid cases for an All-Star berth. It seems like this would be a good time to bump the number of All-Stars up a bit, especially since this gives an automatic 1/3 of the roster spots to foreign players.

    The world team could be stacked with Jokic, Doncic, Wemby, Gobert, Yang, Deni, Giannis and others..

    I'm as excited about Yang as the next fan, but he's not making the All-Star team next year.

    I think only the players should get to vote for ALL awards. No coaches. No GMs. No owners. MOST CERTAINLY NO MEDIA.

    Man, some of these guys have grudges against other players though. I think players/GMs and coaches are cool, but just can’t vote for your own players. Can’t really think of another way where there is no bias. It’s just there regardless.

    If S2 had an all star team, @dviss1 you’d get my vote FAMS!

    It’s unfortunate we don’t have pros anymore who won’t play hard in the all star game. Sign of the times. Low character.

    You judge a professional athlete’s “character” by whether or not they want to hustle in an exhibition game? Wow.

    I can see it now, "WTF was Sharpe thinking playing like that? We had a real shot going deep into the playoffs, now he's out for the season!!"
