The starters were named Thursday night on TNT for the 2010 NBA All-Star game at Cowboys Stadium and there was an injustice. There was more than one, but one very BIG one in particular. Dirk Nowitzki is not a starter, that honor was given to Tim Duncan. No disrespect to Tim Duncan, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
1. First and foremost, the game is at Cowboys Stadium. How do the “fans” not vote Dirk as a starter automatically? I know David Stern could have at least rigged the votes. He rigs everything else in the NBA to his likings.
2. Dirk has led his team to second place in the Western Conference and the Mavs have a better record than the Spurs.Dallas: 28-14 San Antonio: 25-16
3. Dirk is having a better season than Duncan to this point. Dirk is averaging to 25.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game compared to Duncan’s 19.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.
4. Duncan plays as much or more at the center position than he does at forward.
I know the NBA prides itself in letting the fans vote, but I think this is getting ridiculous. I think they should eliminate the online voting and return to only voting in arenas so it is the paying customers of the NBA who select the players. Either that or they should be able to edit the ballots to add and remove players as needed. Allen Iverson is a starter for the Eastern Conference. Like seriously? He shouldn’t even be on the ballot.
Guard: Allen Iverson
