I know mostly the NBA All-Star Game is based on mostly of popularity, and for proof, look at Yao Ming, since his rookie season, he's been in the asg, well he's been in all the time, 2 years, and is about to go again this year, but think about it, if LAL gaurd, Chucky Atkins, had a breakout season, he'd be in the asg right, no, b/c he's not popular around the NBA, that's the way i see it, and this is just wrong, Kobe Bryant and T-Mac, battling it out for the spot of the 2 gaurd. And T-Mac's leading. Come on now. Look.

Kobe is leading the NBA in scoring, has not 1, not 2 , not even 3, but 4 TRIPLE-DOUBLES, his team's record is like 13-8 i think, but compared to t-mac, points, 27.7 kobe, 22.5, t-mac, 4 trip-dub's for KB8 none, for t-mac, lakers, 13-10 , rockets, 11-13, come on, KB* has avg. 7 boards a game and T-mac , i have no idea, but this is just getting out of control, I know it's only the beginning of the season, but still, damn, this is just like the SUns, and SOnics, neither will make the finals, i bet anything. but still, this is just out of control. Yet T-Mac has a " superstar " ( idk how ) on his team, Yao MIng, for u slow people, Jim Jackson, and all these other people, and yet Kobe has L.O., please. I'm a t-mac and kobe fan, hell i love all the nba players, but it should be fair for some players, and this just is really stupid.
