While some players make the All-Star based on merit, or even simply tradition, others need a little help. That is why the league lets fans vote. Think Zaza Pachulia last season, who nearly made the team, or Allen Iverson in 2010, who made the team despite not playing for a majority of the season. Spencer Dinwiddie could possibly be the next social media made All-Star.
While the Brooklyn Nets’ starting point guard has had a great season, he has done so quietly. When it comes to the All-Star game, this poses problem as recognition is everything.
