Vote for Which Players You Want to Get Arrested!

So the 2007 NBA All-Star Ballot (which looks as if it were co-designed by the makers of Grand Theft Auto and Bejeweled) came out today, and voting began. This announcement served to produce one of the most sincere yet awkward pictures of sports history.

For those of you keeping score at home, that's Greg Anthony, Wayne Newton, a slut, Shawn Marion, Brad Miller, Mayor Oscar Goodman, and another slut.

As you've surely realized, the game is in that outpost of American debauchery and delinquency, Las Vegas, Nevada. I placed my votes accordingly, and urge you to do the same. Vegas is known as an "anything goes" city, so I voted for Ron Artest, Gilbert Arenas, and Zach Randolph, among others. It's also famous for it's all-you-can-eat buffets, so Eddy Curry got my vote for Eastern Conference center.

"Circus Circus, bitches!"

Anyway, I encourage you to do your part to make All Star '07 interesting. Vote for excitement, kids.

P.S. David Lee for write-in!

EDIT: A night of sleep has reminded me that Anthony is a Vegas native and attended UNLV. Marion went to UNLV as well. Brad Miller has no connection to Vegas or the University, but one might consider him a "Runnin' Rebel" simply for his backwoods living and gunslinging ways. So there.
