All star starters revealed

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Don't see another thread?

West: Paul, Bryant, Durant, Griffin, Howard
East: Rondo, Wade, LeBron, Melo, Garnett

[Bobcat4Ever]

Barkley doesn't have a legit reason for voting Marc Gasol over Duncan lol

[Graviton]

Griffin all star starter for playing like the 3rd best player on his team, nice.

[DuMa]

Jeremy Lin gonna make it next year :pimp:

[andremiller07]

Pretty sad KG got in over Noah tbh and Howard over both Marc Gasol and Duncan. Seriously letting fans who majoirty of them know zero about basketball vote is pathetic :facepalm . O well the game is meaningless anyway so I guess no biggie.

[PyrrhusX]

TD should be starting.
Oh well, more interested in the bench now.

[veilside23]

garnett and melo yeah... :D

but this just goes to show how weak the centers are in the east when a pf is voted as a starting center dont get me wrong but after bynum no one in east is really that scary maybe greg monroe but he is too short to be a center.
a drummond might be the next in line ..

[Rose]

Pretty said KG got in over Noah tbh and Howard over both Marc Gasol and Duncan. Seriously letting fans who majoirty of them know zero about basketball vote is pathetic :facepalm .
In all fairness, the only people voting for Noah were Bulls fans. Nobody else likes him really.:lol

[ihoopallday]

Durant will win the All Star MVP, unless Kobe chucks the whole game.

[stevieming]

What! What about James Harden???

He's been more spectacular then Kobe this year.

[andremiller07]

In all fairness, the only people voting for Noah were Bulls fans. Nobody else likes him really.:lol

Yeah I know but still, they really need to do something about the voting system. If something is completely broken you have to fix it.

Hope East actually plays hard and Lebron wins MVP by leading them to a win, it's been too long since East won.

[DuMa]

lmao, barkley picked boozer over noah

[(e)]

I love KG, but lol. It's one thing that Celtics get Rondo as a starter because Rose is out, but KG too?

Noah should clearly be starting over KG.

[SacJB Shady]

Lee won't make it as reserve

[jimmy77x]

kg over chandler? GTFO and kyrie should have alot more votes

[andremiller07]

LOL wow Lin had more votes than Westbrooke and Harden combined :roll:

[(e)]

LOL wow Lin had more votes than Westbrooke and Harden combined :roll:
China?

I remember Yao got voted in as a starter one year and I don't think he played much, if at all.

[Borat]

Green and Battier getting all those votes is suspicious.

Allstar games are pathetic now.

[fsvr54]

Blake Griffin an all star?

:roll: :roll:

Proves what a joke this is

[(e)]

Chandler/Noah/Boozer over KG
Jrue over Wade
Lee over Griffin

No brainers.
I'd add Duncan over Griffin as well.

[SCdac]

Duncan not making it is a joke:

17.2 points
9.6 rebounds
2.7 assists
2.8 blocks (almost a career high)
50.1 fg%
81.5 ft% (career high)

[Salazaar]

Did anybody notice that Anthony and Durant are the only ones that don't have an all-star starting buddy? :lol Wade + James, Rondo + Garnett, Kobe + Diva, CP3 + Griffin...

What about Bosh....o wait, I see what you did there.

[ihoopallday]

You guys really believe these voting numbers? I just have a feeling these numbers are adjusted by the NBA.

[The Real JW]

West is 80% LA :lol

[b0bab0i]

Griffin all star starter for playing like the 3rd best player on his team, nice.
recheck ur stats

[tmacattack33]

No surprises really.

Though I kinda thought Kyrie would have more votes since I though he was gaining a pretty big fan base.

[chosen_one6]

Pau Gasol being fifth in the front court voting just shows you how much bullsh*t this voting process is.

[coin24]

You guys really believe these voting numbers? I just have a feeling these numbers are adjusted by the NBA.


The NBA rigging something?? They wouldnt do something dishonest like that:lol

[DirkNowitzki41]

Blake Griffin an all star?

Not surprising. He's been playing like shit.

[b0bab0i]

u mad dirk didnt make it as a starter?
:roll: :roll: :roll:

[daily]

[longtime lurker]

Thank God Lin didn't make it

[PyrrhusX]

The only saving grace is Lin not making it. Cant believe Griff and DH got in over Duncan and even M.Gasol, fan voting is pathetic. The east though is infinitely more interesting with the Melo and KG situation and the whole Boston hating Miami thing. Should still be fun. Now lets see who gets the nod on the bench.

[EnoughSaid]

http://i46.tinypic.com/242j66v.jpg

Damn East team HATES eachother. It's gonna be Wade, LeBron and Melo vs. Rondo and KG.

Griffin all star starter for playing like the 3rd best player on his team, nice.
18/8 on .53% with improved defense on the second best team in the league

[Magic bird]

:applause: :applause: :lol

[TheBigVeto]

Too bad Lin doesn't make it. Obviously he doesn't deserve it but at least if he had gotten selected, it would've gotten the racists :mad:

[NLZ]

Griffin over Duncan... really? Only fans to blame too.. how on earth is Duncan this unpopular and under appreciated?

[Reverend Hoops]

Lin was sooo close. Had to be rigged.

Garnett starting is a joke. Boston is garbage.

Lopez, Bosh, Horford deserved it more than him.

[brandonislegend]

Griffin is a ****ing joke how the **** is he starting an all star game. ****ing ESPN propagandal.

[Jyap9675]

Oh There Is A God!!! Lin Is Not An All Star

[Money 23]

I disagree with Howard or Griffin over Duncan, but not a big deal. I can see a case being made for those guys as well.

[NBAller]

West wins.

[Clutch]

Don't see another thread?

West: Paul, Bryant, Durant, Griffin, Howard
East: Rondo, Wade, LeBron, Melo, Garnett
Dat teamwork :bowdown:

[DirkNowitzki41]

u mad dirk didnt make it as a starter?
:roll: :roll: :roll:

yeah, im the mad one. :roll:

im not even expecting him to make the all star game

[MMM]

You guys really believe these voting numbers? I just have a feeling these numbers are adjusted by the NBA.

Agreed

[BGriffin's Dad]

how on earth is Duncan this unpopular and under appreciated?

Duncan's old, past his time, boring style of play to watch now that he's a decade past his prime

in contrast, players like Griffin and Durant are the future of the league.. young, explosive, exciting to watch

[SpecialQue]

I'm still surprised by Rondo over Deron. What happened to the Nets hype?

[PyrrhusX]

I'm still surprised by Rondo over Deron. What happened to the Nets hype?

Thankfully imo, Williams has been **** this year.

This.

Still man... he's not that boring... he still throws it down with authority.

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1672145/duncandunkin.gif

10 years past his prime? :oldlol:

Last year was the first time he missed the AS game and surely he deserves to be on it now.

[maybeshewill13]

Only facepalm here is Griffin getting in over David Lee, Timmy D, LMA.

[SpecialQue]

Only facepalm here is Griffin getting in over David Lee, Timmy D, LMA.

Everyone knows him because of his ads/dunks. He gets votes because people know who he is.

[NumberSix]

Rondo such a douche

[It's A VC3!!!]

What's happened to voting? 500k votes for a starting center. I remember when Vince Carter broke the voting record and got 3 million votes. That was when you had to make an account on NBA.com and vote too. No other method. Voting very weak this year.

[SevereUpInHere]

Who the actual **** would have voted for Battier??

[Magic bird]

Who the actual **** would have voted for Battier??
This.

[AKADS]

The only saving grace is Lin not making it. Cant believe Griff and DH got in over Duncan and even M.Gasol, fan voting is pathetic. The east though is infinitely more interesting with the Melo and KG situation and the whole Boston hating Miami thing. Should still be fun. Now lets see who gets the nod on the bench.
No way the east can win they all hate each other. Rondo will only pass to Garnett, Wade and LeBron to each other, and well Melo never passes anyways sp it doesn't matter,

Now who do you expect to finish the game for both teams

[SacJB Shady]

Only facepalm here is Griffin getting in over David Lee, Timmy D, LMA.


what would keep Lee making reserve?

[Droid101]

Still man... he's not that boring... he still throws it down with authority.

Tim Duncan is old.

Spurs will not win a championship.

The end.

[SCdac]

Tim Duncan is old.

Spurs will not win a championship.

The end.

Has nothing to do with Duncan deserving to be in the AS game... which he does deserve... and hopefully/I'm assuming coaches vote him in.

[bdreason]

One player who doesn't play in a major market. Shocking!

[Artillery]

Tim Duncan is old.

Spurs will not win a championship.

The end.

Kobe Bryant is old.

Lakers will not even make the playoffs.

The end.

[Mr Know It All]

The voting is rigged. Operation White Man Can Jump from 4chan not even producing 100,000 votes each for their desired picks? I don't buy it, knowing what they have accomplished in the past.

[PyrrhusX]

One player who doesn't play in a major market. Shocking!

KD :bowdown:

Guess we can all agree that the interesting stuff comes next week when the bench is announced. If Lin somehow makes the bench Ill probs have a heart attack.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I think people might have missed that Garnett is pretty popular in China, he wears Anta shoes and he's over there a fair bit. Might be why he got in...

You have to look beyond stats for it, anyway. Wade is in with 20/4/4 and Pierce has 19/6/4 and no one would say Pierce deserved it over Wade

[gabepizza]

At least David Lee got some respect. Throughout all the voting updates he was never even listed but at the end he got 10th place so at least some improvement in fan acknowledgement.

[stax]

The voting is rigged. Operation White Man Can Jump from 4chan not even producing 100,000 votes each for their desired picks? I don't buy it, knowing what they have accomplished in the past.

Stern was trolling and rigging ballots long before 4chan was even conceived. :lol

[9512]

Funny J

[9512]

Who the actual **** would have voted for Battier??

Uncle toms and Duke fans.

[joshwake]

I fukin hate the all star voting.

[bagelred]

Chris Paul (LAC) 929,155
Jeremy Lin (Hou) 883,809


Wow. Look how close that is. Am I the only one that thinks good chance it was manipulated?

Eh, we'll never know.......

[longtime lurker]

Wow. Look how close that is. Am I the only one that thinks good chance it was manipulated?

Eh, we'll never know.......

If it was manipulated it's for the best. Jeremy Lin does not deserve to be an allstar.

[shallehalle]

:oldlol: at Battier

[tomtucker]

garnett and melo yeah... :D

but this just goes to show how weak the centers are in the east when a pf is voted as a starting center dont get me wrong but after bynum no one in east is really that scary maybe greg monroe but he is too short to be a center.

:eek: how is that gonna turn out !...:biggums: :oldlol:

[ballup]

:eek: how is that gonna turn out !...:biggums: :oldlol:
They gonna share some Honey Nut Cheerios before the game.

[Magic bird]

Uncle toms and Duke fans.
This.

[dbugz]

Rondo - Wade
KG - Melo

There's so much drama in the East starters :lol

[Killbot]

David Lee not voted in. Clearly people don't know about the best player in the game today.
