3 Reasons Why That Guy Didn't Vote For Lebron

The guy's name is Gary Washburn, and he was the only person to not give Lebron James a 1st place vote. Lebron did in fact receive 1st place votes from all of the other voters totaling to 120 votes.  The internet mob erupted as news broke of the non-unanimous results. So much in fact that Mr. Washburn posted a write up justifying his vote: Why my MVP vote went to Carmelo Anthony. So before we bite Mr. Washburn's head off and accuse him of purposefully sticking out like a sore thumb, let's take a deep breath and reason this out practically.

 

Reason #1: Lebron's Supporting Cast. 
"If LeBron was taken away from the Heat, they still would be a fifth or sixth seed."

Reason #2: He is a Boston guy, and is upset that the Celtics' reign in the East is over.

Reason #3: He actually ment to vote for Lebron and messed up, but he is acting like he ment to so he can get more followers on Twitter. 

You could argue that Washburn looks pretty smart now that Lebron played terrible in the opening game  of his series against the Bulls. Something tells me that somewhere in Boston, he was smiling as he watched Lebron struggle against the over phsyical Bulls. But...Carmelo didn't look so hot in his most recent performance either, so you still lose Washburn.

Preview of the 2010 NBA All-Star Game

The 2010 NBA All-Star Game is Sunday, February 14 and will be played in Jerry Jones' house, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Over 80,000 people are expected to attend and the game will be broadcasted on the TNT cable network. I guess none of the major networks see the game as a ratings getter. It used to be a big game back in the 1980's when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were battling it out on the floor. Then everyone wanted to watch Michael Jordan soar above the rim and put on a show. Now, the game has lost its luster with the mainstream media and fans.

The lineups for both the West and East Team are set and there are several well known players participating in this year's game.

Selected to start for the Eastern Conference; Celtics' Kevin Garnett, the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James, the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard, the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and the Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson. All great choices, well except for Iverson, he is a little past his prime and not really all-star caliber anymore. The reserves for the Eastern Conference include Atlanta Hawks' Al Horford, the Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo, the Charlotte Bobcats' Gerald Wallace,the Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose, the Hawks' Joe Johnson, the Celtics' Paul Pierce and the Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh.

Selected to start for the Western Conference: Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, the Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire, and the San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan. Definitely a formidable team. I think the west will have the advantage. The reserves for the Western Conference include the Dallas Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki, the Los Angeles Lakers' Pau Gasol, the New Orleans Hornets' Chris Paul, the Portland Trail Blazers' Brandon Roy, the Memphis Grizzlies' Zach Randolph, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant and the Utah Jazz's Deron Williams.

Whether you are a basketball fan or not, this year's game looks to showcase the talent's of some brightest and youngest stars in the NBA. It should be a high scoring affair, defensive during the all-star game is usually referred to as matador zone. My prediction is the game will be entertaining to those who attend and watch on TV and the score will be 136-124 Western Conference winning.
