Last year I didn't have any players in all-star game, despite having a few different guys, who split time with one another, and both averaged a dbl dbl in 28ish mins a game.
This year, re-hauled team, drastic different approach had 2 guys make it. 1 is league's leading scorer and 3pt shooter, despite not playing a chunk of the season since I acquired after season started. Other is a guy who'd been the #1 guy until said guy before showed up to team.
Since theres no merchandising bonus, or any benefit of having a player in the all-star game... I don't really get bothered by voted in or not.
I think of real life, where people get voted in, whom don't deserve/earn it at all. Because they are "popular" among fans or "used" to be amazing. Seems to me if we were going to go through all the effort to make it reallly reflect who have been the best players etc. Then that would be better spent on like, MVP, or other awards, rather than a meaningless all-star game.
