All-Star player and media votes announced. Al-P tied for the last place with 23 player votes and zero (0) media votes. An interesting tidbit: among the media voting panel is Kelly Iko, the Rockets beat writer.

  1. Although you’d like those numbers to be higher, and they certainly should be.

    He’s not an all-star yet IMO, but definitely looks to get there soon.

  2. I’d rather he didn’t Homer pick, so fine. Am interested to hear him explain his vote.

  3. I mean only 10 players got media votes for front court so it’s not that bad. They prob have to be super serious in voting or they get that privilege taken away.

    That being said, FTJ for that utah reporter.

    Good glad he didn’t homer pick. Maybe next year he will make it

    Kelly Iko was same person who wanted to trade Sengun for Myles Turner. Why does this moron and clear Sengun hater still have a job?

    The same Kelly Iko who wanted to trade Alpi for Myles Turner 🤣

    This is starter voting. Anyone who honestly says they would put Alpi over LeBron, Durant, and Jokic is straight up delusional.

    I get the responses appreciating him not being a homer, but Iko has proven to just not be a good sports journalist. Some of the trades he was proposing this offseason would make you think he has an active agenda against our team’s success lmao. Wish we had a better reporter for the team.

    Alp is currently 13th, 16th, 12th, & 12th in PER, WS, BPM, and VORP respectively.

    He’s an Allstar & Iko is a bum.

  10. The media are human and can only watch what they can. That being said, this is clearly them favoring veterans over youth. Which I guess is them giving some of the older guys their “flowers” but it is obvious the fans and players know what is up.

    Lol, Kelly Iko does everything is his power to piss off this fanbase
