I'm curious though, does conference standing play a large part in the voting?

Also along the same lines, is it feasible where the 8th place team in a conference can end up having a player make the All-Star team?

Yes, an 8th place team can have a player make the All-Star team. Though I am sure that that player would have to put up number similar to a dominant player in a Patient offense.

I'm in 6th place in D.IV, and I got two all-stars. While the third place team got zero. So, I dont know, but the all-star game is to recognize the best players, not the best team. So, I guess it's possible to get a player from the 8th place team.

Ya, the guys are right... Think about LeBron at the Cavs, the team was bad, but LeBron was still putting out MVP numbers, as long as the player is putting out good numbers, doesnt really matter how the team is doing, although sometimes a top player may not have great games cuz of the rest of the team...

Im guessing he is on the stat board for the league at least in one category?

Lebron racks up the points ever since that lost to the Mavs............hey maybe he'll slow down after he got his first ring? and score now 20 pts a gme instead of 26?

"not 3..... not 4....., not 5...., not 6...., not 7......

Jesus, 17 of the 20 players under 10k on the V league all-stars? I had forgotten how big the gap in talent between D5 and all the other divisions was.


Ya, but the gap between D3 and D4 is pretty large as well, look at the salaries of the ASs...

Depends on what Miami does with the team, they do have the potential to win more than 3, although I hope that this was the only one lol

Thanks for all the input!

LeBron's Cavs teams were pretty stellar standings-wise in the East during the regular season, with exception to his first couple of seasons, but I see the point you're making.

I was curious if the voting mirrored the fan voting in the NBA when selecting the starters, and/or how the coaches voting works in the NBA when selecting the reserves, with more weight on rewarding winning teams, somewhat similar to the MVP award. Looks like it's based more on statistics, with other factors to a lesser extent.
