All-Star 2006 voting has begun!

Who are you picking?

I have:

WEST
Tracy McGrady...no explanation needed
Amare Stoudemire...he can't play, but he deserves the honor
Baron Davis...he's got some moves that I'd like to see in the ASG
Jason Richardson...it's about time he gets some recognition, JRich>>>Manu
Marcus Camby...he's playing like a mad man right now so I think it would be cool to see him in there (Yao will probably get 3 billion Chinese votes again though)

EAST
Ron Artest...I remember a quote in someone's sig with "All-Star Game" and "flagrant fouling", let's see it happen
Tayshaun Prince...still pretty much underrated, except by Pistons fans
Richard Hamilton...kind of the same as Tayshaun, 2xWallace and Billups get almost all the attention and credit
Jamaal Tinsley...I know, I should've had Billups here but I like Tinsley and 3 votes on Pistons would make me look like a fan
Eddy Curry...God, I have no idea why.. does this make me look like a fan too?

I forgot to tell you guys my write-in vote: Trevor Ariza. :headbang:

Would be cool if all NLSC members picked the same guy for write-in votes and do this everyday, just to see if we can get him in there. :lol: Something like Oliver Miller.

Don't need a write in vote, we have the general "Injured player who's not played a game all season but will be voted in regardless" vote in Amare Stoudemire.

T-Mac spent a lot of time at small forward last year and has seen time there this year too. The ballots are made up before the season begins so there's usually some inconsistency with listed positions for some players.
