This season’s All-Stars have been selected and based on the results, people aren’t happy with some of the players that were voted for. One of people being head coach of the Golden State Warriors and the head coach for the West All-Stars this year Steve Kerr, who voiced his problems with the voting on Monday.

“I am very disappointed in the players,” Kerr said. “They’ve asked for a vote and a lot of them just made a mockery of it.” 50 percent of the votes are from the fans, 25 percent are from the media, and 25 percent are from the players.

According to the Mercury News, players like Mo Williams and Ben Simmons were voted into the All-Star game despite not playing a single game this season. Also, Grizzlies’ guard Tony Allen voted for Luke Babbit and Michael Beasley. “I saw all the guys who got votes” Kerr said. “There were 50 guys on there who had no business being there…If you’re going to give the players a vote, they should take it seriously.” According to NBA Writer Alex Kennedy, 128 players didn’t vote for Cavaliers forward LeBron James and 154 players did not vote for Warriors forward Kevin Durant.

Kerr doesn’t know what the answer is to solve the problem with All-Star voting. “There’s always going to be worthy players left out of the starting lineup, left out of the roster entirely. It’s the same thing every year, and I don’t know what the perfect answer is.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
