The Bergen Record is doing their best to get Stephon Marbury into the All-Star game, by asking readers to vote for him for 2009. Apparently the disgruntled Knicks employee’s name is on the ballot. But why should Steph be the only headline grabbing athlete to make the All-Star game on pure bad press alone? Here are few other names that should join Starbury in the crazy voting category.
Sean Avery
Well, if Stephon can make the list and he hasn’t even played since November, then why not Sean Avery, who hit the pine in December? I mean, if only to give Gary Bettman an aneurism. (Vote here if you're so inclined)

Pacman Jones
Sure he had a league enforced vacation mid-season. And so what if he only returned 21 punts for a total of 95 yards this season? He had 26 tackles and one forced fumble in just nine games. And he’s not had a run in with the popo since October, so really it’s like giving him something for good behavior. And who cares, it's only the Pro Bowl?

Barry Bonds
Well if no team will hire him, why not let the fans do the work? I guess there is one minor problem in electing him to the All-Star team in 2009; since he’s not actually on a roster, I don’t think he’s allowed to play in the game. Homerun Derby, anyone? Fine, well then why not give it to fellow Giant Barry Zito based solely on his successful duping of the Giants out of over $100 million.(Photo: Getty Images)
