Do u think Yao Ming will get the most vote ever by fans for the all-star game?

Jordan in 1997 - 2.4 million votes.

Yao would be lucky to get even a quarter of that.

 

Wanna bet?

 

When do they start releasing voting totals. They start before the final votes are in dont they.

 

Like Ichiro, Ming has a whole country behind him, I wouldn't be surprised if he starts the All-star game.

 

I won't be surprised to see Yao Ming in the All-star game. Thinking how many fans in China, I konw some chinese fans vote every day and vote with every computer they can use.

 

I wouldn't want to bet against all those Chinese/Asians fans. It will definitely interesting to see how many votes Ming will get this year with a modest stats so far. When he start putting up big numbers in the upcoming years, I think he will break all the records for getting the most votes ever for the all-star games. In fact, it wouldn't be surprised me at all if he is in the top two vote getters for the Center position this year.

 

but china isn't really a basketball country and japan is a baseball country. i really doubt that millions of chinese are going to go online just to vote ming into the all star game.

 

speaking of which...i think ill go vote again...

 

Well, forget about the whole country of China for a moment just consider his home city of Shanghai is enough to put him over the top. I looked up stats for Shanghai, it has 14 million resident and 785,000 of those reportedly get on the internet regularly as of august of this year. I don't know how many of 'em are sharks fan or follow Yao ming's progress in the NBA but there's got be lots of votes there. If the record for the all star vote is 2 million (which is kinda low), I think Yao has a chance to smash that record.

 

I heard that a lot of chinese fans vote for yao on NBA website. yes, China is not a basketball country, but it is still the second favorate sport in china next to soccer, so I think there are a lot of fans have voted or will vote for yao, at least several millions I guess, especially the students

 

Shaquille's going to make it very hard on Yao everytime they play each other.

 

He He You said hard on!

 

Yao Ming might even surpass Jordans high of 2.4 mil. votes! I expect if he does this, then he would be a starter by Fan demand!

 

I will bet Yao gets more vote than any rookie ever he will be the starter on all stars team and Shaq will be his back up and prolly rightly so seeing the stats on both just this far into the season.....

 

shaq prolly will sit out anyways. like he usually does.(ouch my toe) shaq i know many ppl that have played with a fractured arm........

 

Does the Government of China even let their people reach NBA.com?

China has hardcore restrictions on the internet.

But I am sure they can reach NBA.com.

 

The commie government in China bans two types of web sites:

p*rn: playboy, penthouse, etc. (Damn those *holes why ban p*rn?!?!)

Politically subversive subjects: taiwan and tibet independence movement, flg, etc.

 

why do people get on here and lie ..talk stupid crap and be over all assholes...
