These days in the association, pure centers are almost as scarce as pure blood samples from Lance Armstrong, yet the league was continuing to put voters in the awkward position of picking players who fit the position, but not the production, expected of an All-Star. An overhauled ballot, which will be released on November 13, has corrected for this cutback in classic centers by allowing fans to choose three frontcourt players, so what they do on the floor is stressed, as opposed to where on the floor they do it and against whom. The NBA saying "take five" to the five spot will likely bring an end to the glory of any future Jamaal Magloires (woe Canada, we stand by on a guard for thee*). Sorry, but when Roy Hibbert was announced last season, we laughed like Dr. Hibbert.
*what we mean is, we'll still cast a vote for Steve Nash, so no hard feelings, eh?
