When it comes to NBA All-Star voting, the league uses a two-tiered system. On the first tier, fans screw up the vote for the starters. On the second tier, coaches screw up the vote for the reserves (results will be announced on Thursday). Mostly, anyway. This year, the league should be:

PROUD OF ...

Allen Iversen, 76ers. Yeah, he hogs the ball, but he's second in the league in scoring and is shooting his highest percentage in eight years. Hog away.

Tony Parker, Spurs. Parker busts into lanes like a New York cabbie, easily beating lumber-footed big men. His speed has gotten him so many easy layups that he ranks second in the NBA in field-goal percentage.

Paul Pierce, Celtics. He has wiped off the sourpuss look and is having his best season, scoring 25.6 points per game and sporting a career-high shooting percentage.
