<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Paul Pierce is on the All-Star ballot as a forward, which is a shift from previous years, when he's been listed as a guard. "It's not like I'm going to be voted in, anyway," said Pierce. He is leading the Celtics in scoring, rebounds, and assists, but as he accurately stated, "It's about the wins and losses," when asked why he didn't think he would get voted on to the All-Star team by fans.</div> Source
There's a simple answer to that. He's not marketed well. I bet if he had shoe deals, was on video game covers, and had his face plastered everywhere like Kobe or Lebron he'd start getting all-star ballots. I think a few years ago Doc even had to start calling around to coaches for favors to vote Pierce in. And they were saying "He's already in." He shouldn't have to call anyone in the first place.
