Stupid Iverson

This better not cost Crash a spot.

Perhaps the best quote I've read all year.

_Because people LOVE soapboxing about the integrity of the NBA All-Star Game—*quite possibly the most ridiculous notion ever*, when you think about it—and because it’s Iverson, you can be assured there’ll be some uproar.

But really, why waste everyone’s time?_

I figured this would happen

I really hope it doesn’t cost Gerald a spot.

I almost wish

that Tracy McGrady had been voted in, just so the NBA would basically be forced to address this stupid voting system.

No way AI should be in the All-Star game. Not even close.

almost made it…should definitely be reason enough to review the voting process.

This is rediculous

14 pts, 4 apg….those are defintiely allstar numbers.
No way Stephen Jackson should make it w/ 20 pts, 5 rpg, and 4apg
Only two shooting guards in the east deserve allstar more than the Captain and thats D Wade and Joe Johnson.

Raymond Felton has better numbers than Iverson also.

I didnt say anything about Wallace because I am positive hes in. Every list of allstars Ive read has him in and hes 9 on nba.coms mvp list. He is definitely an allstar. No doubt in my mind or the coaches minds.

AI is a Baller! He's a pimp!

AI WAS a baller.

I don’t mean to diminish The Answer (or maybe just a bit), but he used to be an All-Star. Just because he used to be one of the best doesn’t mean he deserves an All-Star spot THIS year for PREVIOUS years.

Hell yes it does! The fans want to see him.

Coxswain mother fucka!

its not his fault he’s forced to be a mediocore player on a mediocore team just to satisfy a mediocore rising star in “the other AI”

I hate to bust chops here but

Kwame is on the Pistons in the East.

This is the same player who stalked away from a team during a temper tantrum

and was considered to be iffy as to being a player in the league anymore, before the season started. There is NO WAY Iverson deserves an All-Star spot.

Stop the hate

AI is going to go down as one of the greatest players to ever play the game and thats why the fans voted him in. This is not a showcase of the greatest talents in the NBA. Its a popularity contest. Its a game for the fans and they obviously the fans have spoken.
