01.23.09 NBA ALL-STAR STARTERS ANNOUNCED
Magic center Dwight Howard shockingly led the NBA All-Star voting, garnering a record 3,150,181 votes. I say “shockingly” because, even though Howard leads the league in blocks, rebounding, and double-doubles, there are usually several billion Chinese people voting for Yao Ming. Plus, you know, those other guys… whatstheirfaces… LeJohn Something and Toby Bryant. Oh, and that really good point guard, C-3PO.
Full list of starters below.
EAST
G – Dwyane Wade
G – Allen Iverson
C – Dwight Howard
F – LeBron James
F – Kevin Garnett
WEST
G – Chris Paul
G – Kobe Bryant
C – Yao Ming
F – Amare Stoudemire
F – Tim Duncan
I have to agree with Shoals in that the only real misfires are A.I. and maybe the forward selection in the West. I also have yet to watch an entire NBA game from start to finish this year, so what the hell do I know? But in defense of fan voting, I’d rather watch A.I. and Amare than whoever actually deserves to start. Can’t say I know what the hell they were thinking when they voted for Duncan, though. Maybe they were ironic votes?

Yi got robbed.
(As did Devin Harris, who besides having a smoking hot GF that attracts record breaking commenting numbers, is also a pretty good basketball player)
Where will the shootings be this year?
Are NBA All Stars voted for how much they bitch and moan on the court?
fuck this sport
I agree, white players should be allowed
I think they determine all stars by number of tatoos – ya gotta want it!
C-3PO lost many of his votes this year to Lando Calrisian.
/nerd alert
//suck my light saber
C-3PO is the best binary protocol point guard in the universe.
/ posting LIVE from the “I am so lame it’s almost funny” convention…
pretty good write up by Shoals actually. KG is a prick and has no place in the allstar game.
/Raptor Homerism
//Going back to bacon bikinis
There are Raptor fans?
/Seriously, that bacon bikini made me shoot jizz over one of the walls of my cube, I had to pretend like I was on the phone so no one would question me.
Tim Duncan is so boring, he makes golf look like blowjobs.
If they didn’t allow pricks in the All-Star, game we’d all get bored watching Shane Battier and Mike Miller.
Did I hear “bacon bikinis and jizz?” Today is going to be a good day.
Allen, you should see Raptors fans. They’re crazy. If you say one bad thing about their team, they forget that Canadians are supposed to be nice.
No Nuggets? For shame.
@taco – what did you just say?!?! Jason Kapono is a goddam saint! Don’t you dare question Jamario Moon’s defensive ability! I WILL BURN DOWN YOUR FACE!!!!
I can’t stress this enough- *makes wanking motions*
