Take a gander at your 2009 NBA All-Star starters. Somehow Chris Paul managed to amass 2 million votes in just 10 days, because he’s Chris Muthafuckin’ Paul. That and because David Stern is a Smooth Operator. Not only did he (allegedly) instruct his goons to rig the voting, he also enlisted an NBA scribe to write this laughable article, which references an anonymous Chinese journalist, to deflect any possible criticism. Nicely done, Mr. Stern.

Western Conference Starters:

  • Amar’e Stoudemire (Suns) – F
  • Tim Duncan (Spurs) – F
  • Yao Ming (Rockets) – C
  • Kobe Bryant (Lakers) – G
  • Chris Paul (Hornets) – G

Eastern Conference Starters:

  • Kevin Garnett (Celtics) – F
  • LeBron James (Cavaliers) – F
  • Dwight Howard (Magic) – C
  • Dwyane Wade (Heat) – G
  • Allen Iverson (Pistons) – G
TRU

    is Amare still allowed to start after being posterized by David Lee last night?

    I miss the good ol’ days when KG and Duncan were our Forwards.

    KG’s move to the East changes everything.

    This match-up is well-balanced IMO.

    Uhh, Where’s T Mac? LOL

  • wu

    what position does Dwight Howard play?

  • esbee

    Why would tmac even get a mention? I like him and all but wouldn’t vote him in there.

    T-Mac has no place in the All-Star lineup this year. I voted for Chris Paul and Brandon Roy.

    Here’s the thing though. T-Mac had an incredibly huge lead over Paul just 10 days ago. Then suddenly Paul mysteriously garnered 100,000+ votes per day until he “amassed” 1.2 million votes. Really? No one’s complaining right now because he’s the best PG in the NBA and deserves to start at the All-Star game. However, what type of precedent is the league setting by rigging the system? Why not come clean and say “fans fucked up, but we fixed it for ya”?

    The Association needs to do something about the voting process. Yi Jianlian actually had a shot at taking KG’s spot. Stern needs to listen to some of JVG’s ideas on the process.

    ^^Yeah, that would’ve been hilarious if Yi made the All-Star team.

    What’s JVG’s suggestion?

  • LA Huey

    JVG was saying something about having a weighted system where the fans still have an influence but not to the point where the Chinese vote transforms Yi and Yu into All-Stars.

  • Enjoi

    Allen Iverson is only starting because he is Allen Iverson. Devin Harris should be the starting PG for the east hands down.

    T-Mac over Paul? Rigged or not, Paul should have been starting since day 1 of voting.

    No one said T-Mac over Paul. I said I voted for Chris Paul and Brandon Roy. I hope Roy makes the reserves team.
