Bryant out, Nash in if Bryant doesn't get fit I read somewhere.

It's nice that Hill gets the nod from the fans.

Yeah, why the heck would anybody vote McGrady or Bryant over Nash? Oh well, at least he's a shoe-in for the coaches' pick. Hopefully Stoudemire and Marion also make it in...

I'm glad Vince Carter is a starter again :roll:

^^^^^^^the fans love him

McGrady and Bryant are more popular stars than Nash is, so that's probably why they are in there. Even though Nash is having an amazing season, I agree, he should be in there.

I don't really understand Vince Carter being in there. He's just an average star in my mind. There's plenty of other people that could be in there.

I would love to see Nash as a starter instead of T-Mac ( I like Tracy, don't get me wrong). I also wish that Ray Allen was one of the 5 starters.

They should really stop considering the two guard positions, as a single position. But really the voting shit is complete crap. Stop putting the All Star game in the hands of dumb NBA watchers. Let the coaches decide plain and simple. How in the hell does Vince Carter make it every year? Because he was a rad dunker 3 years ago? Who the hell are his fans. Now that he is no longer in Canada(I can understand how Canadians may vote for the best home player in their country) who are the dumb shits voting for this guy?

I couldn't agree more. The rosters would be completely different if coaches decided.
