Want to hear something amazing?
Tracy Mcgrady of the Houston Rockets played in a game tonight.
This might not seem interesting to you unless you happen to also know this is the first game he has played in for almost a year.
If you still don't think that is interesting then perhaps I should inform you that, as of right now, Tracy Mcgrady is second in All-Star balloting for the guards in the West.
This season he has played a total of 7 minutes and 55 seconds of basketball and if the All-Star game took place today he would start.
Allowing the fans to select the starters for the All-Star team seems like a good idea on paper, but there is just one glaring problem. Fans are idiots. They don't select the players by their contributions to their teams or by their stats. They choose them by who is the best dunker and who is the most popular.
A few years ago when Kobe Bryant was new to the league and he was selected to start in the All-Star game. This wouldn't seem weird except for the fact that he wasn't even starting on his own team.
It's time to do away with this nonsense, NBA. Let the coaches choose the players and let the fans pick their noses. It's probably the only thing they could do right anyway.
