Billups: McGrady, Iverson Don't Deserve All-Star Berths

DENVER -- The Massachusetts Senate race isn't the only vote this week in which health issues are at stake.



The NBA will release fan voting tallies Thursday when starters are named for the Feb. 14 All-Star Game in Dallas. While health care was a concern in one vote, the health of All-Star balloting is involved in another.



Despite being unworthy of being All-Stars when it comes to statistics and playing time, Philadelphia guard Allen Iverson and Houston guard Tracy McGrady are in line to be named starters. If either or both get the nod, some potential All-Stars figure to be moaning.



"You end up having guys that are in that position that are taking away from some deserving guys,'' Denver guard Chauncey Billups said in an interview with FanHouse about the possibility of Iverson getting elected in the East or McGrady in the West.
