The teams aren't just going to be selected by salary.

As Juice has already said, there are a number of factors that go into it. Sometimes "star" players are kept out of regular season games so that they can play in the Cup games and so don't get votes. Sometimes players might play at various positions (C one game, PF the next for example) so their votes are spread throughout multiple positions etc etc

The simple answer is - there is no simple answer!

There seem to be many factors influencing All-Star voting (disclaimer - all, some or none of these may be right) -
Game rating
Time on the court
How well the other people on your team play (great players will take votes away from your good players)
Your team's winning percentage (no one votes for losing teams - see David Lee!)
High-stat/rating individual games (A night where a player scores 30 points+ might net him more votes than he'd normally get)

The wonderful thing about this game is there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that no one really knows about. So in short I'm sorry I can't be more helpful - but I don't think there's a definitive answer out there. Unless one of the BB's suffer a brain hemorage and post the source code! (which would actually ruin the magic for me!)

In a few more seasons someone might whip up a database and be able to give a definitive answer.

I do think Charles or another bb mentioned that attendance will play a role (so teams with higher attendance will its players receive more votes, all things being equal).

So?

There is nothing for my own sake. I've seen this for multiple seasons but still can NOT understand the idea behind selecting players to All Stars?

Maybe there is not any sensible answer for this? Playing as always been is good as any.

What a shame!

I seem to remember this as well, but I can't remember who said it.

Wth are you talking about? There are 2 players in ASG from the league leading Mylo team.

So basically minutes+quality in the league for that position+attendance.
Minutes will influence the selection heavily.

For proof take a look at my league ASG. 4 selections from team Kilud that has 7 players. 3 in starting lineup. As they get heavy minutes and other teams are managing their minutes more (I have 3 sf-s that are virtually evenly matched).
If everyone else in your league is managing minutes you can prolly get all starting 5 from your own team if you play them above 40 min every game.

I care about my team so ASG player selection does not intrest me at all. I want to win the league not get my players to the ASG.
