FINAL VOTING RESULTS: http://www.insidehoops.com/all-star-voting-results.shtml

[Black and White]

Dwight couldn't crack the starting spot? :roll:

[Illuminati]

Curry got robbed last year to starting the following year. :applause:

And Kobe said he doesn't intend to play in the ASG, probably will be replaced by CP3.

[MP.Trey]

Curry more votes than Kobe! :bowdown:

[oarabbus]

Should be LMA or Dwight over Love

[HomieWeMajor]

No one wants to see Kevin love miss open layups to pad his offensive boards numbers.

[Riley Martin]

4th year in a row the West wins.

2014 ASG: West 154, East 140
2013 ASG: West 143, East 138
2012 ASG: West 152, East 149
2011 ASG: West 148, East 143
2010 ASG: West 139, East 141

[Fudge]

Kevin ****ing Love. Is that a joke?

[fsvr54]

Irving in is a joke.

[Solefade]

[It's A VC3!!!]

Dwight has been passing the one million mark for like the past four years. All of a sudden he can't beat Love and his 600k votes? On that same note, how do we have much more technology but vote much less than 10 years ago? I remember when Vince was getting nearly 3 million or so votes for the ASG. Those numbers will never be reached again.

[Crafty]

Love? Where's LMA?
Nice to see Curry on the starting five tho

[Illuminati]

East back court is that bad that Irving is a starter? :oldlol:

[Thechosen1]

how does the all star game mvp last year not become a starter the next?

[Crafty]

how does the all star game mvp last year not become a starter the next?
injuries

[Legends66NBA7]

Are Wade and Bryant even going to play ?

If not, who will replace them ?

[KobesFinger]

how does the all star game mvp last year not become a starter the next?

Kobe's injured, he'll start if healthy.

Who's doing the tip? LeBron vs Blake?

[r0drig0lac]

PG24 all star mvp

[Black and White]

PG got alot of votes :eek:

[RightToCensor]

Melo and Love? :roll:

The voters are jokes :oldlol:

[Illuminati]

"How Is Kobe" is trending on twitter. Starting in the all-star game based on reputation alone, has done nothing this season. :oldlol: ****ing pathetic.

[KobesFinger]

It's a popularity contest, he's popular

[Thechosen1]

injuries

what does that have to do with fan voting? isnt kobe a starter? and hes injured

[RightToCensor]

Freaking asians voting for FragileBe :facepalm

[Psileas]

So, what is going to be the Eastern frontline? I sense some quick substitutions.

[Angel Face]

Kobe was voted as starter despite playing only few games this season. That's what you call "Respect". :bowdown:

[TheMarkMadsen]

how stupid are you?

VC, TMac, AI does this ring a bell

not a large sample size but i'm gonna give this post an early nomination for worst post of the year :applause:

[Droid101]

Yeah Love! Let's get the outlet passes rolling!

[BlackVVaves]

Dwight just witnessed the very real repercussions of the conflict that has surrounded him over the last two seasons.

Last year, the benefit of playing in a market like LA helped to balance out much of that backlash in terms of garnering votes from fans at large. But after leaving LA, and subsequently those fans' votes, he now stands where he does.

Dwight should be a starter, but I can't argue with the Love selection. 25 and 13 is 25 and 13, whether your team sucks or not.

25-13 and 4, number 1 among PF's or Centers.

In fact, among PF/C, he's number one in scoring and assists. 2nd in the entire league in rebounding. He's definitely deserving of a spot.

[Higher Meaning]

Melo and Love? :roll:

The voters are jokes :oldlol:
Lol you angry that Dwight didn't make it

[215Philly]

No center East? :facepalm

[RightToCensor]

Lol you angry that Dwight didn't make it
Not really, I just don't understand why people reward losers.

[imnew09]

Kobe all day. This is called respect

[The Big Skinny]

Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Irving over John Wall is laughable.

F*ckin joke...



Blake Griffin over LaMarcus Aldridge.....:facepalm

[christian1923]

Melo and Love? :roll:

The voters are jokes :oldlol:
U have a problem with melo and not wade?

[SpecialQue]

I'm legitimately shocked that Dwight got snubbed. It's hilarious, but still a shock.

[It's A VC3!!!]

Apparently the crew believe that Joe Johnson is a lock. He's played well considering his touches and surrounding talent but I don't know how deserving he is.

[longtime lurker]

:roll: :roll: all I can think of is Dwight! Wow has this guys stock dropped. Went from top 10 to not mentioned at all

[sick_brah07]

The allstar game has become a way to push "superstars" onto our screens
it is a terrible game that is actually boring to watch and has nothing to do with the best players from each conference being rewarded and going up against each other.

I hate to be that "back in the day" guy but seriously this is becoming a joke ... why on earth would they get rid of the centre position lol? how does wade kobe or irving even deserve a spot let alone a starting spot. The NBA is actually becoming more and more like the WWE/WWF everyday

Alot of NBA fans are more interested in the Drama involved amongst teams and which trade will take place

As ridiculous as this sounds The NBA is becoming less and less about Basketball everyday

[gts]

:roll: :roll: all I can think of is Dwight! Wow has this guys stock dropped. Went from top 10 to not mentioned at all

Dwight's just not a like able person, he comes off as fake.. From the Dwightmare mess in Orlando through his crappy attitude last season in LA, people just don't like him as a person, he over exposed himself in all the wrong ways... People vote for players they like, not ones that make them feel uncomfortable

[Cold soul]

How is Blake Griffin over LaMarcus Aldridge. :wtf:

What a joke.

[gts]

How is Blake Griffin over LaMarcus Aldridge. :wtf:

What a joke.The KIA vote was strong...lol

He's flashier, recognizable from his national TV commercials

[buddha]

Not really, I just don't understand why people reward losers.

because it's a game for the best players in the league not for the good players who play with other good players.

[chosen_one6]

Kobe all day. This is called respect

No, it's called fcuking idiots.

Someone that has only played 6 games in a season should not be a started in an All-Star game.

[BigMacAttack]

It wont change but fan voting is played out, they should let the coaches pick all of the teams.

[SpecialQue]

No, it's called fcuking idiots.

Bu bu bu I thought he'd be a dominant force without Kobe holding him back :lol

too many salty lakers fans. LA is the biggest market along with new york. i am pretty sure no one from LA or New Zealand chose him in all star line-up.
He should not have made it last year too but playing in big market makes it easier and biased.

[chosen_one6]

Despite being voted in an All-Star starter, Kobe Bryant said today he will not play in the Feb. 16 game. Does not feel like he's deserving

At least your daddy knows that it's not right. Although somehow I think his jizz being thoroughly lodged in all of your orifices will likely prevent you from understanding his decision.

[coolhandsteve]

So who do ya'll think should be the All-Star reserves? Me:

WEST
Lillard, POR
Paul(probably will start), LAC
Harden, HOU
Parker, SAS
Aldridge, POR
Howard, HOU
Davis, NOP
Dragic, PHX to replace Kobe's spot
If Westbrook gets voted on, Klay Thompson takes his spot.

EAST (records don't really matter here, LOL @ Kenny Smith saying it should)
Wall, WSH
DeRozan, TOR
Stephenson, IND
Carter-Williams, PHI
Drummond, DET
Hibbert, IND
Bosh, MIA

How is the NBA force feeding us superstars, when it's the fans that vote the most notable superstars in?

Unless you're about to convey some mystic, conspiracy theory onto me. Please don't, because I'll stop reading mid-sentence.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's the fans that dictate who the marketing brass in the NBA are going to use as pillars to uphold their local and abroad brand? Take Kobe for instance. After the rape case debacle, Kobe's popularity with the media and NBA fans at large sharply declined. That crash in his social stock correlated with his status from 2004-2006, when Kobe was not hoisted on the proverbial pedestal by the NBA as he had been from 2001 to 2003. The NBA, and ad agencies, recognized this, and therefore responded in a business related manner.

Then, as the 2006 and 2007 seasons played out, more time acculiminated between the present and the case, and his masterful offensive performances grew, the media and fans began to revert back to favoring Kobe; by the time he won his 1st championship without Shaq, something many harped he would never be able to do, his personal brand's restoration had been complete, and the NBA market team...and business corporations broking endorsements...once again responded through their branding. Kobe was once again highlighted on TV spot after TV spot. He was the apple of advertising directors, and generally a fan favorite for the younger generations who sail the financial ship that undeniably constitutes their demographic as consumer gold for businesses across all industries.

So, maybe if you take a second and truly assess the reality of the NBA being a billion dollar company based off the fancies of public entertainment, you'd assume the clarity that would allow you to recognize that it's ultimately the fans, and not the NBA, who truly dictate a superstars "push." The NBA isn't going to push any player who is not favorable with the masses. If they did, Demarcus Cousins would be in far more advertisements this year through a variety of mediums, and certainly be starting in the All Star game.

[LilEddyCurry]

John Wall should be starting not Irving. It's nice to see Curry with the most number of votes in the West back court :applause:

[MUGEN]

LMA should have been a starter ...guess he isn't flashy enough


I wonder who the reserves will be..hopefully both LMA and Lillard will make it

[alenleomessi]

The KIA vote was strong...lol

He's flashier, recognizable from his national TV commercials
blake has been ballin all season long and he has taken the next step.. the clippers are pretty decent without cp3.. blake deserves the starting nod as much as anyone

[Bandito]

Dwight is not on the starting position? Oh lawd...the trolls have their bait now!!!

[andremiller07]

Dragic should get in as a reverse over Davis/Cousins/Love (should not be a starter) wins/impact >>>>> stats and he plays on a team with not even half the talent of those three teams and has his team in a playoff spot.

Suns deserve a player more than NOP, Kings and TWolves.

Irving starting is a joke he's not even been better than Isaiah Thomas (who's probs maybe just in the top 15PG's) you could easily make a argument Thomas impacts the games more this season and he's putting up similar stats as a starter.

[Bandito]

how stupid are you?

VC, TMac, AI does this ring a bell
Dont forget MJ last year.

Strong user name: post irony

[b0bab0i]

How is Blake Griffin over LaMarcus Aldridge. :wtf:

What a joke.
Are you an idiot? Do you not understand fan voting?
That's why Kobe is on there even though he's barley played this season.

The Coaches will vote LMA in for sure.

[TylerOO]

Irving starting is a joke

[fsvr54]

Utter joke if Millsap is not a reserve.

[TheStarting5ive]

In before fan vote is eliminated. Or reduced to only count for half.


Shit has been ridiculous for years.

[nevetslc88]

Freaking asians voting for FragileBe :facepalm

But I thought Houston and China fans

:oldlol:
