All-Star voting

["Rory O'Keeffe" <okeeffe@unite.net>]

I see on NBA.com that after the third returns of votes Antoine is only
7th in eastern forwards.  This despite the fact that he is 4th in points per 
game, 7th in rebounds per game and 8th in steals among all players.
If those aren't all-star numbers then what are.

Hopefully last nights game will bring 'Toine to peoples attention and he
gets the respect he deserves.

It seems to be that if you're not on one of the top teams you don't count.
(what the hell is Pippen even on the ballot for)

'Toine is definitely better than the four players directly above him in the
voting (Rodman, Webber, Rice and *Pippen*???), and there is a case for him being
the best forward in the east at the moment.

Rory.
