Fantasy Basketball Daily News: The Iverson All-Star Conundrum Edition (1/23/10)

Jan 23, 2010 Blog

All-Star voting has really put Allen Iverson in a tough spot.  The fans voted him in and Iverson said he will honor that vote and play.  I don’t think there is a single true basketball fan that thinks Iverson actually deserves this honor, but what can he do?  If he snubs the All-Star game it just pisses off the fans who voted for him and hurts the game overall.  If he plays then it just shows that the NBA All-Star game is a joke, which also hurts the league.  Don’t get mad at Iverson, get mad at the incompetent fans who voted him in.  The only real solution here is to play this season out and change the voting procedure this offseason.
