Be warned, this thread is meant to blow off some steam over the all star voting, which I have been looking forward to all week and which seems to hate me for some reason. Be prepared for directionless complaining.

The voting for the rosters just blasted me this season... last time around I had a player in the voting for every position, although only two actually made reserve spots.

Polianitsa, who got 20.5K votes last season, didn't even appear on the ballot this time.

Unsiye and Bernando, who each had over 10K votes in S22, got less than 6 each this time, and Sousa, who had 18K last season, got just 7K this time.

Runolfsson, who had the least votes of my considered players last season, got another 3K this season and had the most votes, but still fell well short of a spot on the team.


As for the 3 point contest... why is it so biased against players who take less than 4 threes a game? Sousa made a higher percentage of threes through 13 games than all but one of the players in the contest (43%), but took less shots than any of them (only 42, an average of 3.2/gm.). Sousa is on pace to break his own team record for made 3s in a season (26)


Now that I'm done venting, have fun this week, guys. See y'all after the break.

Is there a tangible benefit from having players selected? I've been top 1/2 team out of all 16 teams all season and I got 0 players selected.

I can show you my case for some fun times... one of best PFs in my league (21782109), if not the best, ends being fourth in voting...for PG spot This happens when you train out of position...

My SG got the starting shooting guard job, while my C was voted the backup center. Unfortunately, I have never hosted an All-Star game, and I've been here since Season 15. What is the record for most seasons without hosting an All-Star game?

One team out of sixteen hosts it each season in each league, so it would be hardly surprising if there were teams that have been here 16 seasons or more that have never hosted one.

I never hosted a all star game I dont think though. Hopefully next year, But i did get mvp of all star game last year 40+pt from my pg maybe more. That was real a good game last year.

I won a 3pt contest 1 time, maybe twice.

Im really looking forward to this years game. I have 2 people in it and my player got highest vote almost 70K votes.
