This is the first year that the NBA is opening up the All Star ballot to all players. This is how it should be. I have a feeling the 2015 game will look more like a regular game than five players showing off their skills. A balance of fan favorites and stars will create a great performance.
Here are my picks for the West:
Kobe Bryant, Anthony Davis, Stephen Curry, Marc Gasol, Kawhi Leonard
If you haven’t already, go vote for your favorites!
