Fans votes should weigh less

This past week, the NBA introduced the Western and Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineups, but what stole the show was the surprise of Allen Iverson being a starting guard representing the eastern conference. Iverson began the season playing for the Memphis Grizzlies and after not starting and only playing in three games, Iverson made the decision to retire. Just a few weeks later, Iverson would sign a contract with the Sixers. This seemed to be a good fit considering the circumstances, but since he reunited with his original team, he hasn't made a big impact. He is averaging currently less than 15 points per game and the Sixers have a eye popping record of 15 wins and 28 losses. So ask yourself, does Iverson deserve to start in the All-Star game let alone be an All-Star period? The answer in my opinion is no way! How does a man who is having no impact on his team and having his worst statistical season become a starter in the All-Star game? No one and I repeat, no one could make me believe that Iverson deserves that honor. I thought this was the 2010 All-Star game, a game to display those players who have blossomed or dominated this season. Iverson isn't the dominate scorer that he used to be, so why not start someone who deserves the spot. Rajon Rondo, the point guard of the Boston Celtics is having his best season yet in his young career. Averaging almost a double double a game with 14.1 points per game and 9.6 assists per game, he statistically is the best point guard in the Eastern Conference, not to mention he plays on a team who currently has one of the best records in the entire NBA. Why not reward Rondo? This is exactly why the fans shouldn't be the reason someone starts in the All-Star game. Fans should still be able to vote, but their vote needs to count for less. Yes, fans want to see their favorite players in the game, I understand that, but an All-Star team should also be made up of all star players and Iverson is not an All-Star, plain and simple.
