If you go to the NBA web site you can vote for the 2009 NBA All-Star Team. Included on the ballot are two players you should totally throw your support behind:

Antonio McDyess, who was traded a few weeks into the season and released by his new team – so he’s not even playing right now; and Stephon Marbury (“Starbury”) who is in a highly public spat with his team, The New York Knicks, and who has not and will not play this season.
The NBA makes up the ballots before the season even starts, since it takes that long to get printed ballots out so fans can vote. They did not know at the beginning of the season that these players would not play. However, many players have switched teams, and while they are of course still listed on their own team on the printed ballots, their team and conference affiliation online has been changed. Why are McDyess and Marbury still listed online?
Since the NBA is being lame and keeping them on the online ballots, let’s do them a solid and VOTE THEM INTO THE ALL-STAR GAME! Who’s with me?
You can vote once a day.
