Depends on your perspective with all-star voting I guess.
MJ was arguably the most popular athlete on the planet in his prime, hence the argument of it being a popularity contest still prevails - he wins hands down.
However MJ was also the greatest player of his era, thus debunking the notion that he would not have been deserving of his place if it was left to the coaches to pick the starting 5 - he would have been the first player chosen!
I haven't heard anything, but it's usually ESPN so it may be Foxtel only. Though, last year One had the finals on a 1 day delayed telecast (as opposed to ESPN who had them live) so you never know.
