<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Carter (619,959) and Orlando?s Grant Hill (552,328) lead all Eastern Conference forwards.</div> Full article (incl. the other positions and conference). Didn't expect that Vince still gets so many fan votes, personally I don't think he deserves to start but as long as Hill gets in as well, I don't care. By the way, this is not the end-result, voting continues until Jan. 23.
^as long as little first graders own computers, vince will always be on the team . But really, Hill deserves a spot on the team especially since there isn't much competition when it comes to east forwards.
I've been voting for Grant Hill since the start, such a shame a guy like Vince Carter is ahead of him.
How will this work if it ends like this VC and Hill vs TD and KG we will egt dominated in the front court. KG and D will post us ( the eastern conference) up all game. I hope VC falls out he is not having a good enough season to start. He is one of my favorite players, but I still think if he makes the all star team it is total BS. Though as long as Hill gets in idc really. I wanted Francis to start as well, but does not look like that will happen. I am not so much dissappointed sinc ehe will probably be the first reserve off the bench when the reserves are named.
Grant Hill <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Pure Skillz:</div><div class="quote_post"> I hope VC falls out he is not having a good enough season to start. </div> Well you know thats never going to happen. On one hand i just really dont want hill to participate in the allstar game. because i feel the most injuries that happen to guys is when they are playing around. And i would hate for that to end his career. But on the other hand i think hill deserves to play in the all star game. Hopefully the east can get some type of team together. I dont believe they would make the east play with only small forwards centers and gaurds. I think they will even it out.
great to see grant hill with tons of all star votes. heck why antawn jamison isnt even ahead of vince in the votes is beyond me. some people really need to start watching NBA Raptors games.
Surprise Surprise to see Carter leading in eastern forward and rank 3rd in top 10 vote-getters (i don't count yaoming because just simply the people in any of the province of china vote for him, he'll be the first...i don't like this ) Still have more than a month for the voting, and i'm sure G.Hill will climb up to top Carter Hope Francis can surpass Wade
A lot of Canadians probably vote for Vince Carter...i'm not sure. He hasn't been all start level for a few years now... STOP VOTING FOR HIM Grant Hill got my vote!
^Canadians voting for Carter isn't the fact, most of them aren't NBA/Basketball fans and there live to few of them to make a difference anyway. Even if Carter is voted as a starter from the fans, I don't think he will play a lot. As some mentioned, he doesn't deserve to be playing at all. The coaches will vote some more forwards into the team and the actual coach of the Eastern Team won't let Carter play that much.
^who knows maybe he's still injured? or injured again? if he still plays like what he's playing those games in this season, i doubt the coach will play him for long time in the All-Star, just like Yao last season, Shaq played more than him, Yao was just started to please the fans...

Has carter ever been all-star level? as a starter? i don't think you can justify his place in the starting line-up ever????????????????????/ Hill definately should be there though, outstanding play, leadership and great guy! I wouldn't change the team that we have now, but you have to wonder with hill's leadership whether McGrady would have played up so much??? He really does play with his tem so much more in Houston, even in the Mavs game (48 points) he was patient and had about 8 assists!!!!!!!!!!!! It was still the right trade to make, Cato and Mobley have been a pleasant surprise!!!!!!!! I think we have to make a trade for a big guy, maybe Magloire from the Hornets, they'd be willing to trade the whole team! maybe having to give up Mobley but we're stacked in the gaurd position. Wesbroid said he's after a point gaurd??? ERrrrrrrrrrr jameer isn't even getting minutes so what's that about?????? I think theyhave to look for a good center!
Well we have Battie and Cato at center, both have played surprisingly well when they start, so I don't think Center is really a problem. I sure hope Hill makes it and VC gets knocked out. Who is voting for VC if it's not the Canadians?
Who would have thought Grant would be having a fantastic year like this, and if anyone really deserves an All Star forward starting spot, its him.
I am so happy for Grant Hill because of all the things he have been through in the last couple of years, I just hope he stays healthy...

After those years, he didn't really deserve to be voted on but hey, it's the fans choice and I'm pretty sure it's just not the Canadians that voted for him.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Miami's Finest:</div><div class="quote_post"> First let's hope that both these players can surpass Allen Iverson </div> I like AI, but he is not as deserving as Wade and Francis. I must have voted for the duo at least 40 times off different comps! LOL.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Miami's Finest:</div><div class="quote_post">I've been voting for Grant Hill since the start, such a shame a guy like Vince Carter is ahead of him.</div> i agree i have voted for him everday since the start me and my friend made a deal saying i vote for lakers on west side and he votes magic on east side so we get 2 votes on hill a day so go hill.................. hill for the allstar break
