Operation: Restore the Baron's Majesty

Objective: Get Baron Davis into the All-Star Game.

Logistics (League-Wide):

• Points: 8^th with 24.0 PPG
• Assists: 5^th with 8.6 APG
• Minutes: 2^nd with 40.4 MPG
• Steals: T-10^th with 2.0 SPG
• Points/Rebounds/Assists: 5^th with 38.0 AVG

Preliminary Prognosis:

All fanboyishness aside

The main thing is: He really deserves it.

Really, right now he deserves not just a spot on the team, but the starting spot, ahead of Nash, CP3, TP, and Deron.

I'd go so far as to say (and did say in the game thread) that he's currently playing like the fourth most-dominant player in the NBA. If I had to make a Top 5...

1. LeBron James (by a pretty wide margin)

2. Kevin Garnett

3. Dwight Howard

4. Baron Davis

5. Chris Paul

(Duncan should probably be on there, but there've been a lot of games where he's really been second fiddle to TP or Manu).

Then again, the game is about popularity, not actual value, so if we want BD to be there, we better start stuffing that ballot box...

Mission: Vote often, vote with multiple email addresses, and vote Baron Davis. It's been too long since a Warrior made it to the ASG, and it's time to let the league, country, world know what the Baron is capable of.

[UPDATE] Oh, and vote Baron just to spite Sir Charles Barkley again. On the TNT broadcast, he said he wouldn't put Baron over Deron Williams or Chris Paul on his list.
