    Cater is NO. 1 now.

    Steve follows Kobe, and Yao is behind Shaq.

    Yesterday I read an article in which Yao mentioned he wants a rest in all-star break. When the reporter said Shaq and he are only two possible options in western centers. He said, "how about brad miller, he is really good this year." It seems like he is reluctant to go to L.A. But later he admitted that he has to even he is not an all-star because he would fight against all-rookie team under that situation. Poor guy:)

    I'm sure JVG can have the trainer come up with a questionable medical excuse to exempt him from the ASG.

    I’m hoping Yao gets a lot of votes, but not more than Shaq. Don’t want to see him get booed out of the building in LA if he starts over Shaq. Besides, the all-star game is not exactly the type of game he’s ever going to do well in. Way to fast paced for Yao.

    Personally, I think that a potential rookie game matchup would be pretty interesting to see, though it will never happen. Lebron and Carmelo vs. Yao and Amare...

    With so many hypes, King James is only No. 4 in eastern guard. Stern must be mad:)

    I don't think that YAO said he is reluctant to play all-star, if we read the article in Chinese throughly. I don't know why the reporter (article author ) add such a title to his article.

    From quotes from YAO's talks, reporter is misleading or misunderstand YAO.

    Yao's shoe contract is tied up with his appearance at the allstar games. It means big amont of money for him to be there so I doubt that he really want to rest ...

    Just voted for our guys.

    I don't think Steve is going to get any late surge to get him a spot on the allstar team is time.

    He's second place and ahead by 40k, he just needs to keep pace to get in. Top 2 guards get in.
