Raja Bell is on the All-Star ballot

The voting for the Las Vegas All-Star Game is on, and you can go check out the ballot (and vote for LeBron) at NBA.com right now.

As always, there are a few “Huh? For real?” names that have made it onto the list of potential All-Stars, and as always, we’re voting for them.

You’ve always wondered where those .003% of the people who want to see Nenad starting for the East came from, haven’t you?

Right here, yo. Here’s our picks.

EAST
G Steve Francis
G Morris Peterson
F LeBron James
F Hedo Turkoglu
C Nenad Kristic

WEST
G Raja Bell
G Juan Dixon
F Kenyon Martin
F Troy Murphy
C Mark Blount

Now, we know what you’re saying – “No ‘Toine? You left off Antoine Walker??”

Yeah – ‘Toine would take the appointment as an All-Star far too seriously. He’d think he’d really made it. (Raja will think the same thing, but we figure there’s material there if it happened.)

The one heartbreaker was Eddy Curry. We really, really, really wanted to put him on, but we figured there’s no way in hell his knees aren’t shattered by February with all the digested giant-size mall cookies he’s carrying around inside this season.

Anyway – go vote now, and don’t worry about trying to push our picks. We want you to be free thinkers. We want you to expand your minds beyond the simplistic and juvenile tomfoolery we serve up here daily.

We want you to live, people. We want you to live.

(Let us know if that made you cry – we’re bawling here. Holy shit, we’re deep.)
