Chris Broussard is floored at some of the NBA All-Star results from the fans, but Rob Parker is on board since the game is mostly for them anyway. Here are the results:

Many of the interesting choices are in bold.
Vince Carter probably doesn't have the stats nor the youth yet he's placed pretty high on his list. Dwyane Wade is mostly on his final legs and final NBA tour so this seems like a farewell vote. Jeremy Lin...It's been a long time since we've heard the words, "Linsanity." Luka Doncic, the rookie, beats out Paul George who also beats out arguably the second best player in the league in Kevin Durant...seems like pettiness at its finest. DeMarcus Cousins, somehow, makes the top 10 despite having yet to step on the court in what seems like ages. Chris Paul, of course, makes this list more on his popularity because it feels like an eternity since we've seen him on the court since his injury.
Chris Broussard and Rob Parker get into it. Have the fans gone crazy with their votes or are they just being fans?
