Why? Why? Why? What has he done this year? There are SOOO many other players who deserve to go besides him. He is injury prone, his point total is down, and he is a big baby who complained about his team. I pray that NJ nets suck this year so he can continue hating his life. The fans need to realize he is not that good. The only thing that will make him good this year is Jason Kidd.
The only way Vince is going to be an all star this year is if he is voted in as a starter by the fans because there isn't a coach in the NBA right now that would vote for him as a reserve, except for Lawrence Frank. It's not too late for him to turn things around though and I have a good feeling that he will thrive with the Nets, if anything Jason Kidd will turn Vince into an all star.
seriously, i will be contented if vince can just comeback to all star level. and people dont realize this, but the all star game is a popularity contest. the most popular get in , period. complaining will not do a thing, but luckily coaches in the nba respect good play, thats why we have deserving all-star selections year after year. most nba fans watch the nba for hightlight reels (i know as i used to be part of the group) and only pick names that are mentioned in news and sportscenter all the time. to an average north american, would u rather pick a player with a rep for incredible dunks (aka vince carter) or someone effecient, but receives little exposure/hype from the media (aka antawn jamison)? We dudes here at JBB know jamison is more deserving than carter, but he was on teams perceived to be lousy, like golden state and washington, and he often stays away from the media, so of course people tend to disregard him when considering all star balloting
Keep Your Post Clean Or Thread Will Be Closed <font color="Red"> Post already in this thread have had to be deleted due to content. And given the Subject, more of such probably will likely continue. If it does then the thread will be closed</font>. Plus Nets fans, a majority of them at least probably didnt vote for Carter, they voted Jefferson. So you are starting a thread in the wrong forum, Raptors fans are responsible for that, I guess. Either way, keep the post clean and intelligent guys.
I do not know about you all, but I am voting both Carter and Jefferson (before I was voting Jefferson and Okafor)...I know Carter has not done any thing yet, but it just a phycological thing I guess.

He might go ahead of Shaq, but I doubt it.

All-star game is all about dunks and fancy passes,people remember his dunks and know that he can do it in the all-star game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Player4Ever:</div><div class="quote_post">dont be sad because he wasnt traded to your fav team...</div> I don't think he wanted Vince anyway, I think he is mad because there are other players deserving it more and I totally agree but as Martin said, fans remember his dunks and his entertaining style of play. The other deserving players will get voted in as reserves from the coaches, so nothing to worry about too much imho.

Also the percentage of votes that come from Canada is very very small consdering not that many people care enough about basketball to vote, and the people that do care aren't as many in comparison to the voters in the states. The casual fan voted him in, he still dunks in All-Star games, people want to see that.
Ahead of Lebron,Hill,Pierce,Jefferson,Jamison?Give me a break.Why dont we also vote stromile swift and desmond mason into the allstar game,since they too are flashy dunkers.

All-Star games aren't games it's more of an alley-oop fest. The games are high scoring. No one really plays any D till the last maybe three minutes. VC was the most exciting player in the league at one time. That's why he gets so many votes.
Its a popularity contest, nowadays. Dont u know that?? ur just answering yourself. there is no need for this thread. everyone knows why.
omg look at who gets voted in too the allstar games at guards and and some fowards players that can put on a show iverson one of the best lobbers and has incredible handilings james look at him really vince dunks dunks hill everyone wanted him here cause of the comeback shaq i wonder kobe dunk dunks tmac dunks dunks garnett he can put on a good show duncan same as garnett yao who else are they going to vote for for the west center divac
