Cousins thinks that fans should not be able to vote for who gets to be in the All-Star game.

Do you guys agree?
I kind of agree. There are definitely guys who deserve to be in the All-Star game and do not get in simply because certain people get voted in based on a variety of different things. For instance, and this may be because I am young... but I do NOT think Kobe Bryant should be in the All-Star game. Sure, he is a "legend" to the game, but he has been playing like crap so far this season, and I think that someone who has played at an All-Star level should get his spot. He is even starting in the game! People say he's earned it just by how many years he has played the game.. but he has already had his time in the spotlight and will be in the HOF, so give it to some other guy who has been working his tail off and is playing at an all-star level!
In terms of Cousins situation... he is probably one of the more dominant big men in the game right now. Most big men play just to get rebounds and block shots, but Cousins can actually make a shot from most places on the floor, consistently. Also dropped 56 the other night.. just a few years out of college. I think he deserves to be in the game.
I also think that it is crazy that Draymond Green is not a starter (because of Kobe).. The splash brothers are an important piece to Golden States' success, but without Draymond Green, I think that picture would look much different.
