I think next year the homer's should not get ATCs for this.

I could also just write down the names of my starting 5 and hand that in as the All Star team.

Some of the names just boggle my mind.

[jazz]

its no different than real life. is it really that big of a deal?

[KingsOfKings]

Nothing is that big of a deal, it's a league. I still think owners should vote for who they actually think should represent each league in the All-Star game...the best players.

[Sonics GM]

Only homer vote I did was Chris Paul and it was because I thought he deserved it more then anyone else on my team(it was before I had Yao). I did not want to vote for AI and Augustin I did not even think of. But I see guys like CJ Giles and Randolph Morris on here and I know they had to be homer picks....how about you just pick your whole starting line up lol.

[KingsOfKings]

I didn't vote for Josh Howard because I don't respect him. I think I went Lofton for the Western Conference SG.

The way I approached it is...which players would give each team the best chance to win?

[Thaaa BUCKS!]

I went homer on Morris.
I had to give at least one homer vote, it's my team. Plus, DET's ballot, he picked Morris to be top 3. So I took him.

[NBL President]

Yes, it's fairly clear who the homer picks were.

Exactly. and they aren't actually getting on the team here. Anyone think David West deserved to be on the team?

[Detroit Pistons Sports Group]

i think OVERALL the results were pretty good. There is always going to be some homerism like in any ballot. Nothing wrong with that... Id like to know who voted for my boy Brand... i dont THINK i did but maybe i did. Aminu i probably did but not brand i DONT THINK.

ya I actually did. he was having a hell of a year.

[Thaaa BUCKS!]

But there were still others doing better that got snubbed.

[Sonics GM]

I thought Baron got snubbed but can you name a PF who got snubbed instead of him? Pau wasn't playing this good. They pick by position so the top 12 players in each conference wont always make it.

[Thaaa BUCKS!]

Melo, Curry, and Zach Randolph. All better than West IMO.

[Sonics GM]

Melo was a starter lol. And Randolph and Curry are in the Eastern conference...and there not even close to as good as him anyways...Randolph is a piece trash...Living in Portland I would know first hand man lol.
