Chris Paul?

There's something wrong happening in the nba today. I went to Espn and there was a poll that said who was the mid-season MVP right now and Chris Paul was on that list. Now here's the question. If Chris Paul is that good enough to be one of the candidates for MVP then why isn't he even close to get voted in the all-star game. I mean fan voting is cool unless people know what to do. I hope the West coach selects Chris Paul as one of the reserves.

well the hornets don't get a lot of screentime and unless you follow basketball pretty closely, you wouldn't know too much about paul. he has not had any serious playoff encounters( i don't think he's had any), and he isn't really a marketable player yet. but all the experts are saying he's amazing and his numbers defintiely show that for a young 3-4 yr player, he's having an AMAZING year. fan voting is popularity not skill.

the all star game is the peoples choice. its not a ranking of the best players in the league. its entertainment from the most exciting nba players around. and chris paul is playing like an all star
NBA League Pass is great for watching ALL of the NBA games. Chris Paul is someone who has stuck out as a very promising player since he came into the league. I really enjoy watching him get better and better.

The fan voting is usually based on popularity and/or familiar names. The coaches with their consensus selection is based on talent, skill and leadership. I would be shocked if Chris Paul didn't make the coaches reserves list.
West has a lot of very good and more popular guards than him like Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Tony Parker, etc. It is so tough to get higher votes than those guys. Paul is playing great i have to agree w/ that. He is playing in MVP level, but again...also Kobe. Nash is still the best PG in the game. There are a lot of other players who are more popular than him and that matters in All-Star game since fans chose the players. Paul w/o a doubt is the future of NBA. When Nash and Kidd retires, he will be the best PG in the NBA.
