By Jordan Underwood Well it’s that time if year again when the exuberant fans of the NBA get to express who they want to see represent their conference. I am of course talking about the All-Star game in Los Angeles, California. With the starters being announced on January 27th and the reserves to follow later, it is apparent that the fans know what they are doing in some regards, but they mostly fail in the grand scheme of voting for all-stars.
