Jim -

Wouldn't it be redundant to mention that if Dr. J or Larry Byrd where
hurt they would still get the votes to be on the All-Star team.  There
are certain players in the NBA that no matter if they are injured or
just playing (plain) bad will be elected starters in the NBA All-Star
game.  While other players, such as Orlando Woolridge, can have
exceptional seasons and yet still be overlooked.  And people thought
that winning an Oscar was tough.

BTW, John Paxson plays for the Chicago Bulls, his brother Jim plays
for the Portland Trailblazers.
