The NBA’s election for All-Star Game starters is silly. Any system that can overlook Russell Westbrook, he of “averaging a triple-double” fame, clearly is screwed up.

That’s what happens when the league allows fans to account for 50 percent of the vote, players 25 percent and media “only” 25 percent.

Let the media pick the starting team, and it will get it right. I promise.

Or a lot “righter” than the fans and players got it.

Let’s look at what those three constituencies did with their vote.

Fans’ starting five in the West: Kevin Durant, Zaza Pachulia (!), Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Curry, James Harden. East: LeBron James, Giannis Antetokuonmpo, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Dwyane Wade.

How they did. Fans. Whaddya do with them? Collectively, they are idiots. Four of their 10 are mistakes and a compelling/overpowering case can be made that Russell Westbrook deserves to start ahead of Curry. Which would take the fans to five mistakes out of 10 starters. Zaza Pachulia is a joke, some sort of social media campaign that could have led to a ridiculous starting five; Joel Embiid is coming along but he’s not there yet; Wade is a great pick if this were 2006 and Kyrie’s place should have gone to DeMar DeRozan or Isaiah Thomas, the two best guards in the East this season.

Players’ starting five in the West: Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, James Harden. East: LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Isaiah Thomas.

How they did: Too many agendas here. The players got the starters right, aside from Kyrie ahead of Thomas (which is defensible), but as Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr accurately noted, too many players did not take their voting rights seriously — 128 of 324 voting players did not vote for LeBron and 154 did not vote for Durant. Meanwhile, 98 players got one vote (no dead guys are listed, but one who hasn’t played this season,  is) clearly voting for themselves.

Media’s starting five in the West: Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, James Harden. East: LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan.

How they did: Nailed it. As is usually the case, the media members took their job seriously and picked the guys having the best seasons. Media members like Stephen Curry, but they recognize that he is not having the same sort of season as Westbrook and Harden. They also were not giving Kyrie a start Just Because He Plays With LeBron.

The media ballots also were mercifully short. No jokes in there. Have a look.

If you want All-Star games done right, leagues need to let media choose them. They know it. But they like the fans to feel like they matter, and they do, as long as the job doesn’t take too much attention.

And here is how the NBA’s three-constituency vote actually turned out: West: Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, Stephen Curry, James Harden. East: LeBron James, Giannis Antetokuonmpo, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan.

One glaring miss: Curry instead of Westbrook. One less-awful miss: Irving instead of Thomas.
