The Luka votes are ridiculous. He has the 4th most votes in the entire league. Even over golden boy Curry.
What's driving the continued Rose support? Casual fans don't know who he is. The hardcore fans really care about him that much? I don't vote and I don't care. But I'm surprised to see he's still up there.
rose was one of the most popular guys in the world pre injury. casual fans do know who he is unless they just followed the nba just very recently
And ESPN.com's front-page headline link to the story is: Durant not among starters in latest ASG voting When it should be: Reigning MVP Harden not among starters in latest ASG voting Honestly, WTMFF?
I can't believe Harden is 300k votes behind Rose. Rose had 1 great game, and is playing well this year, but cmon.... it's all narrative, narrative, narrative whereas Harden actually deserves the spot. It's all so stupid.

Harden has no chance of losing out to DRose. Silver will doctor the final tallies to put him in over Scrubby Rose. But Durant? That might be a real threat, to lose out to Luka. He’s 500k votes back and Silver might just entertain the prospect of building up the next generation’s face of the NBA. I hate hate hate that he’s a Maverick.

wtf...the reigning MVP is barely even mentioned in that article http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ference-starters-fan-voting-nba-all-star-game
Remember, the FANS only count 50% of the vote. Players/Media are the other 50%. Rose and Luka will not be starters. Wade MAYBE if the players give him a nod as a send-off. That said, the fan votes show the POPULARITY of the players. Luka above Curry and as the 4th most popular is something.
