NBA makes changes to All-Star voting

NBA fans aren't the only ones who will be voting for the 2017 All-Star starters.

For the first time, NBA players and select basketball media members will vote for the Eastern and Western conference starters in the Feb. 19 game in New Orleans, the league said in a news release.

Fans will make up 50% of the vote, and NBA players and media each will comprise 25% of the vote.

Can't wait for the day when fans make up 0% of the vote.

This always smacks of hypocracy. I bet LeBron and Kyrie doesn't sit this one out?
Funny how players can sit for regular season games to "rest" but they'll go to all-star weekend and take in all the festivities??
Wonder if Pop will not allow any of the Spurs to participate.
