<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> When the NBA released its All-Star ballot earlier this week, Tim Duncan was listed at center instead of power forward.</p> </p> That distinction is significant. It means he will be competing for votes against Houston's Yao Ming, whose ability to carry China perennially renders him the Western Conference's top vote-getter.</p> </p> "I'm going to try to get everybody to vote every day for the next three years," Duncan said, "and I'm still going to be behind by three million."</p> </p> Duncan has made the All-Star team in each of his 10 seasons in the league, starting every game but his first. -- <font color="#000000">San Antonio Express-News</font></p> </div></p>
The center-forward distinction in the ballots is stupid and unecessary. They don't distinguish between any of the other positions (you get Kobe playing the point) and it leads to players like Jamaal Magloire making the team.</p>
I don't like that either. Duncan is a PF.</p> Oh well, the allstar game doesn't mean that much though, as long as he makes it and plays a couple of minutes, he'll be happy.</p>

It should only be two categories, frontcourt and backcourt,</p>
