“Statistics is one thing when it comes to the all-star and if you want to look at the NBA, although you might be the leading scorer you still need to go through a voting process, and it does not require that you are going to be an all-star. They have their voting process, their fans and the entities that vote for it. The all-star is for the media, the coaches, the fans to vote. There are different models we can use, and we can look and see how we can grow from it. This year we introduced this model. This style in respect to how we want to introduce the all-star, whereby we are saying we will have the fans vote for the starting five, but we have these entities that will be voting for the players. All-star have always been about popularity and even in the NBA you get all-star snubs, people that everybody believe that should be an all-star. And not everybody is going to be happy with the process. We are looking at what people are saying and if it is constructive we are going to use it at next year’s all-star in order for us to grow.”
