WHY? Kevin Martin left-off all-star ballot

Nash, Diaw, Marion, Amare, Raja - Raja is the 5th option.
If Diaw were higher up than Bell in Phoenix's offense, then he'd take more shots than Bell does... But he doesn't. Because he's not.


Who cares? Really? Kevin Martin deserves the nod over J.Dixon
Neither one of them is going to make it. And saying that Dixon is one of the five worst guards in the league is just... stupid.
 
Read on ESPN that the ballots were decided in September. Martin had a good half season at that point to make a claim, and while it can definitely be argued that based on his performance in the latter half of last year, he deserved a spot on the ballot ahead of some other names, it is not that egregious an omission.
 
Happens all the time. B-Jackson was not on the 2002-03 list even though he was ranked #1 point guard at the time. Oh well.
