The joke of NBA All-Star voting

Allen Iverson will be starting for the East squad at the NBA All-Star Game.

A few weeks ago, he was retired. At least for a couple of days.

Iverson has played 19 games this season. He originally was on the West ballot since he began the season with the Memphis Grizzlies. He lasted all of three games there.

He’s played 16 games with the Sixers, and is averaging 14.8 points per game. His votes shifted over to the East when he returned to his roots here in Philly.

Hey, it could have been worse. At least Steve Nash finally overtook Tracy McGrady to be a starting guard for the West.

McGrady has played in just six games for the Rockets.

This is why having fans vote for All-Star teams is a joke.
