what i said wasn´t a complaint, but I am sure you got that. after a few seasons we now all know that the amount off minutes played is very important or atleast we should know... So if you want your player to play in the all star game and think he is good enough, make sure he plays enough minutes.

Getting back to allen iverson, lebron james or who else you want to pick. They all play a lot off minutes. I am very certain that noone in the whole history off the nba was picked that wasnt a main player eg someone that played a lot off minutes. If you translate my guys playing 48 minutes a week in 1 game that would mean somewhere between 16 and 12 minutes per game in the NBA. Please someone that dislikes the current system point me out to someone that plays so few minutes in the nba and made it into the all star game...

If you ask my opinion, the nba all star voting is perfectly correct and very realistic and in the future I am sure the full starting 5 will be from my team :)

it cant be stats nor ratings and if they are they have a very small influence. look at my outside players and compare them to the other players. my shooting % are equal or better. and my player ratings are equal or better than the guys that were picked. I am not upset this happened, i just have to make sure they play more to make it into the allstar team, which won´t happen because training for now is much more important...

In general most teams in the NBA and BB give their star players the most minutes. The teams that don´t for whatever reason and whether it hurts their team or not (this is not relevant to whether a player made it in the BB play offs and what this thread is all about), shouldn´t be suprised that the fans (who vote for the all star team) know little about players that play less minutes and therefore don´t get picked.

The NBA all star vote is not only a pick who is the best player, unfortunatelly it is also a pick who is most favorite under the fans... Again, cant be known and therefore favorite among the fans if you play little or less than other players...

ps my players didnt get picked because they didnt play enough. either i play them more or accept they wont get picked. this counts for the other managers as well, whos better players missed out...

If what you say it is right, that I do not doubt at all, how come the 3rd Shooting guard in votes in my league (4208507) , has only played 2 games with my team as I signed him very recently, and he almost made it to the All Star Game.

Any ideas anyone?

PS. The second most voted shooting guard (4556524) is from my team as well, it may have had something to do with that?

i mean he is 3rd, but a distant distant third.

I'm kinda surprised to see that the winner of last seasons 3point contest may not even defend his title.

But ok, his .37 3FG% would be just to low to enter it I guess.

lol i am sure the formula to pick all star players doesnt take into count in which league he made minutes. your guy played a lot this season (maybe not in your league but he did) and that is why he was picked...
