Apparently fan voting has nothing to do with how a player is playing this year.

A ton.

The fans should get to choose the final players on each team and no more.

[Sothron]

They need to remove fan voting. McGrady and Iverson have more votes than Joe Johnson. I don't even have to say more than that.

[HawkRock1123]

Starters are determined by fan vote, then the coaches pick the reserves, correct?

[Sothron]

Yes.

[AUhawksfan]

Also take into account a lot of the international voting that goes on. They always seem to be behind at least 2-3 years with who are the current stars in the league. I remember Grant Hill getting voted in as a starter well after his prime.

[coachx]

They need to remove fan voting. McGrady and Iverson have more votes than Joe Johnson. I don't even have to say more than that.

The most shocking to me was the amount of votes Gilbert Arenas has at 3rd place among Eastern SGs. How does a guy like him have such a huge fan following ?

Bargani seems to have way more votes then he deserves too but that is rather common when it comes to players from other countries countries.

[MVP23]

Allen Iverson has more votes than Joe, Al, and Josh....this is garbage.

All this is a a popularity contest...if Yao was on the ballot, I bet my left nut he would have over 1 million votes by now..

[AHF]

The McGrady and Iverson votes are especially shameful given how little they have played.

That said, the game is an exhibition for the fans so if they really want someone to be a starter it doesn't torque me too much.

[MVP23]

AI has played what? 5 games??...

[AHF]

AI has played what? 5 games??...

Yes - five games more than McGrady!

[Deeman]

How the hell is T-Mac still so popular?

[MVP23]

lol, Tmac is ahead of Nash...and would be a starter...

[TheTruth]

The fan voting is pretty stupid. Yes, it's the fans' game...but good grief, those votes are ridiculous!

[MrRyda]

I don't get the McGrady thing. Are those just votes from pissed off chinese people that can't vote for Yao?

Hell, I refuse to believe that Tracy McGrady is still alive. I haven't seen that dude in like 3 years.

[Theeyo]

lets be glad Yi is off the ballot as well, he'll probably have more votes than Smoove .... SMH

[Atlantaholic]

Pretty much what I expected... What happened to NBA fans?? Back in the 90´s it wasn't this bad. The average NBA fan today seems to be totally ignorant about what is going on in the league.
