Okay the whole Vote for (insert starting player here) pens, pins and post-its are kinda funny to see. Plus it gives the Ebay collectible geeks another reason to offer "Rare Vote for Kobe Pen Not Air Jordan Not Jessica Alba Naked" at $25 a pop. But the NBA All-Star electioneering has got to have a limit. Do we really need to campaign for Chris Mihm and Lamar Odom? Chris Mihm gets three lay-ups blocked by shorter players every game. Chris Mihm is closer in talent to Will Perdue, Bill Wennington and Luc Longley than any All-Star. This is where the NBA has to change the All-Star voting process.
So let's limit the electioneering to the real star players from each team and if anyone votes for crap like Mihm, Primo Brezec, Jeff Foster, Jerome James, Raef LaFrentz, Nenad Krstic, Tyson Chandler, Joe Smith, Quentin Richardson, P.J. Brown, Troy Murphy, Bruce Bowen, Matt Harpring, Luke Ridnour, Eric Dampier and especially Michael Olowokandi, their votes are officially null and void. (All of the above mentioned players are on the All-Star ballot.)
The Mavs sell a t-shirt for their campaigning:
