I don't know, after seeing 4 Bulls in the starting lineup not long ago, I'm not sure I buy this argument. The point I was trying to make was, isn't it more likely that the best individual performances did make the team? That being on a good, well rounded team tends to diminish an individual's stats (and, often, acknowledgements) is pretty typical of many sports, and certainly isn't BB specific.

Also, this is an all-star game, which is meant to highlight individual stars, not team accomplishments. You'd have an easier time convincing me this is a problem if, say, a player won the MVP without even being on a playoff team. (oh, wait...)

And incidentally, I am very curious why neither Ramos nor Ags nor Elia showed up in the voting at all. I can buy them not making the roster, but I'm pretty surprised none were even top 4.

One of my guards (Tomas Lapis) is #5 in total pts and #4 in total assists in the NBBA, and top 8 in the division in 10 different rankings, yet didn't crack the top 4. I wonder if it's because he played 7 games at PG and 6 at SG. He averages almost 40 mins/game so I don't know if your lack of playing time theory really holds.

I think Scott Walters placing 4th in the voting at PG is completely understandable. Not sure what you're complaining about.

Coco do you actually watch the all-star game?
