regardless of new guards coming in the NBA jason kidd has always been the best for the last 11 years can no other guards do the thing he do on the court if u don’t believe me check his stats at the end of his games could get 15 rebs a game we know about the rest

What crap that Jamaal Tinsley isn’t even listed as a top guard of the East. He should be number one over Kidd (who is haven’t a lackluster season) and he isn’t even on the list!? People are morons and vote for names they know and not real ballers like J.T. Check his stats folks he’s the best guard in the East right now. He dodges bullets and knows how to move a basketball, where’s the respect?

Jeff part of the problem is not just the national voting public. Some blame can be given to the Indiana Pacers fans as well. I agree hes one of the better guards in the East but again - if the people in Indiana vote for the Jason Kidds of the world, then they can’t complain when Tinsley doesn’t make it.

LUIS SCOLA? ERIC DAMPIER? GRANT HILL? JASON TERRY? SHANE BATTIER?
ALL THESE GUYS AREN’T CLOSE, AND SCOLA ISN’T EVEN A STARTER.. AND HAS AN AVERAGE OF 6 POINTS PER GAME.. THIS IS A COMPLETELY CURRUPT SYSTEM WHERE CUBAN CAN HAVE INTERNS VOTE MILLIONS OF TIMES, AND ROCKETS FANS AS WELL…

STEPEHEN RODES.
THAT’S A FAIR POINT, BUT IT’S NOT REALLY RELAVANT IN THIS CASE. YOU CAN’T SAY A PLAYER IS MORE DESERVING BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LARGER MARKET AND FAN BASE.

THE FACT LUIS SCOLA, A TOTLA NOBODY 2ND ROUND PICK WHO’S THE 7TH OR 8TH MAN ON THE ROCKETS WITH 6 POINTS AND 4 REBOUNDS A GAME HAVING MORE VOTES IS NOT THE RESULT OF A COMPLETELY CORRUPT VOTING SYSTEM. HAVING FANS VOTE FOR ALL STARS DOESN’T WORK. THE COACHES AND PLAYERS OF THE NBA SHOULD VOTE.
