i don't like all star voting. gms/coaches should get silent ballots at the end of november then those names should be shown to the public to get votes. i don't like being told who is going to be an allstar before any games are played.
you get guys like lebron/durant who of course belong but bargs doesn't deserve being on a list and neither does derozan.
for the original question i think it shows the lack of real centers in the game right now that they have to mix it up like this.

I don't think it helps at all. There are still a ton of forwards who are head and shoulders better/more popular than AB.
KG, PP
Al Horford, Josh Smith
Melo, Amare, Tyson
Gerald Wallace, Lopez
LBJ, Bosh
Ilyasova
Noah, Boozer
Bynum
Monroe
Hibbert, West
Nene
Even if you eliminate 2/3rds of these guys AB still needs a MONSTER season to get anywhere close to the ASG.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I guess my thoughts are that I have no problem removing the C position from the ballot, but I'm not sure I like grouping all 3 frontcourt positions together. I dread the possibility of something like a Pierce, Melo, Lebron frontcourt. Or even a Josh Smith, Melo, Lebron frontcourt. There are definitely problems with the old ballot, but I would like to see the C category just changed to "big men". It makes selection different...maybe have all the categories equally sized and have people just pick any 5. I would just like to keep some kind of aspect the encourages people to acknowledge the play of bigs.Last edited by white men can't jump; Wed Oct 24, 2012, 12:18 PM.

I think the NBA's ballot has long been outdated...they use the C, 2 forwards and 2 guards as a format. I think this is not so bad in general. I think having them as forwards and guards is good since it can give a chance to tweeners...but that there should still be a way to make sure bigs get rewarded. I fear for the possibility of something like a Melo, Lebron, Pierce all-star frontcourt...that's extremely unappealing.
