All-Star Starters Voting Change

[Siro]

Media being involved is a bad idea. Too many players have contract incentives. They gonna give a report to a local guy that didn't vote for them? Even in sports, we should try to keep an unbiased media. This does not help that.

Media already picks All-NBA, MVP, and pretty much every other award. I don't see the 25% AS weight as breaking the camel's back.

True.

Better than 100% of the vote going to the fans so this at least improves our chances in the future. Don't think it'll help this year, I think the starters look something like this:

Guard: Curry/Harden/Westbrook
Guard: Curry/Harden/Westbrook

2 of the 3 will certainly start, just have no idea which it will be

Forward: Durant
Forward: Leonard
Forward: ??????

I think that last spot could be up for grabs especially if Blake doesn't participate based on his recent injury. I still think it'll take a super human effort from either Hayward or Gobert to get it.

I think the 5th starter will be Davis. He's been a monster this year. Hard to argue with his numbers.

But I do think Gobert gets voted in by the coaches.

making the all-star game isn't going to make him conceded.

Agreed.
That would be unpresidented
