    Steve Nash (Pho.) 981,623
    Manu Ginobili (S.A.) 406,592
    Ray Allen (Sea.) 357,720
    Tony Parker (S.A.) 277,784
    Baron Davis (G.S.) 197,341
    David Wesley (Hou.) 166,669
    Jason Richardson (G.S.) 139,838
    Mike Bibby (Sac.) 116,061
    Jason Terry (Dal.) 113,802

    I was looking at the all star ballot leaders and Houston's D. Wesley is 7th among starters. It's a long a shot, but if there's some sort of grass roots campaign to propel him into third and Nash goes down with an injury he'd get the start. How great a send off would that be for Wesley in what is likely his last year here!

    Ok, now that's just sad... I think Wes would be embarrassed to make the team. :)

    Unless we rigged the voting! No more honorable way than that.

    I'm sure Jason Terry would get quite the kick out of seeing the player he made look like a pre-schooler in the playoffs last year leading him in All-Star votes despite being twice the player with better numbers & on a much better team.

    Gotta love the Chinese being able to vote. Hell, I would wonder if Bowen is on the damn ballot. Anything is possible with a country with that kind of population involved!

    If I were him I would fake an injury. Given the Rockets' luck lately, people will believe him, too.

    What do you know? This shows Wes is more popular than Terry or Bibby. Wes must have something right working his way, aka the big fellow. ;)

    Now, if this is going to bump his trade value, let him be voted.
