yes, that's very true, but what is an all-star classified as? premiere players of the league, but every year some players will hafta miss out. Yeah, the most deserving should be in there, but just as it is for the deserving players, it "showcases" the most popular and talented players, it's probably the one basketball event that has the most fan contribution, if it was going to be all based on who deserves it the most all-star weekend should be taken away and replaced with all-nba weekend.
