Here are the current votes for Eastern Division Guards:
Allen Iverson, Philadelphia, 595,200; Dwyane Wade, Miami, 586,679; Vince Carter, New Jersey, 433,363; Gilbert Arenas, Washington, 225,923; Jason Kidd, New Jersey, 190,385; Chauncey Billups, Detroit, 109,687; Stephon Marbury, New York, 107,219; Michael Redd, Milwaukee, 97,394; Joe Johnson, Atlanta, 78,680; Steve Francis, New York, 76,210.
Notice that Marbury has over 28,000 more votes than JJ, and Francis has almost as many as JJ. What a friggin' joke. The all-stars should be picked by the players and coaches. Let the fans choose the reserves.
