Before I get the comments like... "well duh" or "obviously"... Just look at the top vote getters in the Eastern Conference for the back-court.

 

1. Dwayne Wade (20 ppg, 5.0 apg, 4.8 rpg, 2.1 spg) note: Wade has only played 19 games.

2. Kyrie Irving (21.5 ppg, 6.0 apg, 3.0 rpg, 1.0 spg)

3. Derrick Rose (injured, out for the year)

4. John Wall (19.6 ppg, 9.1 apg, 4.3 rpg, 2.2 spg)

5. Ray Allen (10.6 ppg, 2.3 apg, 2.8 rpg)

6. Rajon Rondo (Injured, hasn't played a game all season)

7. Deron Williams (12.8 ppg, 7.4 apg, 2.2 rpg) note: Williams has only played 17 games

8. George Hill (10.8 ppg, 3.6 apg, 3.6 rpg, 1.0 spg)

9. Lance Stephenson (13.4 ppg, 5.1 apg, 6.7 rpg, 

10. DeMar DeRozan (21.0 ppg, 3.4 apg, 4.1 rpg, 1.1 spg)

 

Yet you have Kemba Walker averaging: 18.7 ppg, 4.6 apg, 4.4 rpg, and 1.5 spg.

 

Averages more points than Rose, Allen, Rondo, Williams,Hill, and Stephenson

Averages more assists than Rose, Allen, Rondo, Hill, and DeRozan

Averages more rebounds than Irving, Rose, Wall, Allen, Rondo, Williams, Hill, and DeRozan

Averages more steals than Irving, Rose, Allen, Rondo, Hill Stephenson, and DeRozan

 

So what I'm getting is that two guys who are injured (Rose and Rondo) and Ray Allen, Deron Williams, George Hill, and Lance Stephenson deserve to be on the Eastern All-Star Team over Kemba? Gimme a break...

 

It should look something like this...

 

PG: Kyrie Irving, John Wall, Kemba Walker

SG: Dwayne Wade, DeMar DeRozan, (one of Afflao, Beal or Johnson)

 

Either they need to get rid of the All-Star game all together or the coaches need to start picking the teams because guys who are on small market teams (Walker) or on bad teams (Afflalo and Beal) are not getting any credit for the seasons that they are having.

its not based on stats, its a popularity contest

I'm aware but you would think the NBA or leagues in general (the MLB and NHL tend to do a good job) at making these games interesting by putting players in the game that actually deserve to be in the game. It might not be popular to put Aaron Afflalo in the All-Star game but by God if his play deserves it then stick his ass in there.

And for heavens sake at least make it where you can't vote for injure players.
