    This is no surprise. But there is still some excitement whether Sam made it or not, but we will find out February 3rd.

    Both Cassell and KG should be in the all-star game. KG is probably the MVP, and Sammy is playing great, even at an older age.

    My western conference all-star starters are:

    C-Shaq
    F-Duncan
    F-KG
    G-Kobe
    G-Cassell

    Wow, Garnett edged out Kobe and Francis, honestly I find that a bit suprising... these guys seem to have a boat load of fans. Garnett does deserve every vote he gets tho. [​IMG]

    Nothing but congrats to KG, He much more than an all-star. He is arguebly the best player in basketball today. He got my vote everytime I voted for Sam & thats way to many to count.

    Not everyone has a clue about the NBA. Its been said over and over, ASG is a popularity contest and when it comes down to it... Kobe, Francis, Vince have more fans... which suprises me a little that Garnett beat them out. I never said he wasnt deserving... obviously if it was up to me... he would win in total votes every single year.

    everyone that cares enough to vote knows SOMETHING about basketball. the thing is ppl vote by position, KG is the undisputed SF in the west, Kobe and Francis have some competition at the guard spot. so the stupid fanboys/fangirls stuff the boxes AND vote for KG while they are at it, while the smart ppl vote for Cassell and Peja and KG or something like that.

    him leading the west in votes isnt really surprising at all

    Garnett is a PF first off... for someone with a SN about Kevin Garnett should at least know that. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    2nd... Vince Carter is leading the entire L in votes... shouldnt that say something on the voting? People vote for their favorites.

    Also... Garnett does compete with Duncan, Dirk, Melo, and even Chris Webber who have a lot of word wide fans.
