Paul George getting some serious love. Howard not racking up votes like he used to. LOL. Melo is not going to make it.
Ridiculous vote totals...anyway with injuries to Kobe, Westbrook and CP3, its likely Harden could start with Howard at all star game.
2nd returns ---> 3rd returns 2. Dwight Howard (Hou) 408,623 ---> 2. Dwight Howard (Hou) 509,116 11. Chandler Parsons (Hou) 106,369 ---> 13. Chandler Parsons (Hou) 135,387 14. Omer Asik (Hou) 79,591 ---> 14. Omer Asik (Hou) 101,372 4. Jeremy Lin (Hou) 358,725 ---> 4. Jeremy Lin (Hou) 471,980 5. James Harden (Hou) 270,476 ---> 5. James Harden (Hou) 338,788
If only GM's valued these returns, we could trade Lin for 7. Tony Parker (SA) 195,328 8. Damian Lillard (Por) 162,363 9. Klay Thompson (GS) 108,404 10. Ricky Rubio (Min) 97,265
Unlike Yao, Lin seems to be hurting his teammates. I imagine a lot of the Lin voters voted for Kobe and not Harden, and that bothers me.
I mean obviously Curry is going to get more votes than Harden. And it's not like he's a non deserving all star. The guy is one of the most entertaining players in the NBA, and I HATE the Warriors.
There needs to be a rule that you have to play at least 40% of your games to get voted into an all-star game. Kobe is going to get voted in instead of Paul or Curry. It is ridiculous.
Imagine that. An all-star starter who isn't a starter on his own team. Has that ever happened? And also: What's with Dwight getting no love? For all we know he might be a reserve..
