All-Star Voting

Basically Rose is 6th among guards, and Noah doesn't exist.

Yet Iverson and McGrady get tons of votes

Joe Johnson is neglected.. Might as well offer a blind vote with stats and no names, or just let the coaches and players decide.

people voted for arenas last year

when he played 2 games. and i bet they’ll continue voting for him even though he is suspended indefinitely.

fuckin stupid. i wish yi had managed to pass KG last year for the starters lol, might have forced them into a change.

ive heard

once that the 1st year arenas made it, he payed a bucnh of his firends and family to fill out 100s of ballots… its ridiculous. and he says

Joakim Noah, a candidate for most improved player this season, is a major longshot, not even ranking in the top 11 among forwards.

why the hell would he be a forward??

I'm cuckoo for Kukoc!!!

lol so true.

and of course he’s a long shot – BRAD MILLER MADE THE FUCKING BALLOT AND HE DIDN’T!!!

he isn’t gonna get in on a write-in vote.

but he could def get consideration for coaches choice.

I get Wade.. but is Ray Allen an All-Star?

09-10 BOS 33 33 36.1 0.464 0.357 0.912 0.7 2.6 3.3 2.9 0.9 0.3 1.8 2.2 16.5

09-10 CHI 33 33 36.2 0.460 0.154 0.786 1.0 2.5 3.5 5.8 0.8 0.4 2.9 1.2 18.6

I think Derrick is an All-Star.

Popularity contest.

Jalen Rose had better numbers than Michael Jordan in 2002-03, but there is no way Jalen outvotes MJ.

Are you out of your mind?

In 02-03 Rose sucked. He had a PER of 14.9. His numbers were inflated because he played 40 minutes a game.

In 02-03, at the ripe age of 39, Jordan had a PER of 19.3, higher than any current Bull player. Their shooting numbers were basically the same but Jordan rebounded and played defense, something Rose never bothered to do in Chicago.

True

Of course, Shareef Abdur-Rahim had a better career PER than Scottie Pippen. Zydrunas Ilgauskas has a better career PER than Bill Russell. Nonetheless, I guess the fact that I am a Bulls homer is why I felt that Rose should have went.

scottie pippen and bill russell are as much known for defense

as any other skill. PER doesn’t measure defense. If Jalen Rose played defense, you may have a point.

And considering that Michael Jordan was the greatest player in the history of the game and was playing in his final season, and that Rose was spending most of his time undermining coaches and hanging out, I think the voters made the right choice.

Noah does not score enough to get in anyway.

He rebounds a ton but 10 and 12 will not get it done, even if he was on the ballot. Gone are the days when people would vote in a Ben Wallace with 7 and 11 numbers (2005-06).

I'm cuckoo for Kukoc!!!

None of them, but if I had to choose...

Brook Lopez – Nets suck but he is having a pretty good year statistically.
Andrew Bogut – Bucks are playing slightly better than the Bulls but he is having a pretty good year statistically.
Al Horford – Hawks are the much better team and he has similar numbers to Noah. Everyone outside of Chicago seems to be much higher on him than Noah.
Kendrick Perkins – Similar to Horford, his team is much better, he has numbers comparable to Noah, and people outside of Chicago seem to be very high on him.
Do not get me wrong, I do believe that Noah deserved consideration amongst this group of potential *cough *cough all-stars.

I like Hortford

I can see him getting in ahead of Noah. But again on the Bulls it sadly goes, Rose then Noah. But the Hawks have Johnson, Smith, then Hortford.

Brooke Lopez, Al Horford

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
