    Did they release final total votes by fans? I want to apply it to the alternative scoring system to show how much Harden and WB would actually beat out Curry, since he got killed in both media and players.

    I understand that this is the All Star voting race. But in terms of the MVP race, should we be worried that Harden only got second from the media?

    Is that a good snapshot of the race so far?

    I mean all the votes. The total vote formula requires the total fan votes submitted. Do you have a link. I tried, but gave up.

    because someone who is in the bottom in defence in his position and his team has a worse on off with him on the court, and there are far better two way options in pointguard like Lowry or Wall he doesnt' deserve to be an all star starter. An all star as reserve ok.
    Kyrie's d sucks too, but at least not to that extent. But neither deserve it over Lowry/Wall anyway.

    Regarding James Harden & Russell Westbrook's results in the MEDIA All-Star vote. According to Feigen, the voters ARE NOT THE SAME.



    Here are the Media votes along with the media voters listed at the bottom (PDF)

    Unless I missed it, I didn't see any Houston Media on that list. So like Feigen said, the All Star Media Voters are not as "distributed across markets" as the MVP Media voters. Makes a difference.

    Also, LOL at the ONE Media CP3 vote. We all know that good old Steve Kyler was responsible for that!

    The biggest take away is Harden refers to himself as The Beard. Is this like Bruce Wayne thinking of himself as only Batman?
