[REALGM] 4th All-Star Returns (Artest less than 15k votes from starter!!)

IBTMerge

 

VOTE FOR RON RON NOW!

 

Funny if these 3 would start together for the ASG, when they haven't started together for the Rockets that much.

 

A player like ron doesnt belong in the all star game. the guys all huslte and all defense, and thats completely the opposite of what the all star game is about.

 

Bruce Bowen (SA) 509,593; Bowen thinks he's a Kungfu master with his chop suey kicks. Proof that the Chinese vote is strong.

 

Since when does injuries affect the voting for these games...
ie: Tmac this year and last

 

I didn't mind in the years before, but if Ron and T-mac gets in this year, I'll be thoroughly disgusted.

 

YESSS...this would be so sweet to have 3 Rockets starting in the ASG.

I don't care if they don't deserve it, it's what the fans want to see.

Also, making online votes or votes from China count less is about as discriminatory as the 3/5 rule back in the 19th century of US history. The NBA is making a ton of money from Chinese fans, and they are normal people too, just like Americans. To make their votes count less is blatantly racist.

 

Yi Jianlian (NJ) 1,216,348; Chris Bosh (Tor) 751,927; Paul Pierce (Bos) 486,656

WTF, Yi almost got more votes than Bosh and Pierce COMBINED!!! flawless victory

 

I don't see how the system is flawed. I think people forget that this is a fan voting event. The game means nothing. It's not like baseball where home field advantage is decided for the World Series.

If people want to vote T-Mac, then let them. I promise you that he gets his votes from the Asian population.

 

If Yi plays in the ASGame, they need to change the voting system next year. He does not play anywhere near All-Star level.

In other news: TMac says he'll only play in the 1st Half of the All-Star Game if voted in.

 

The Chinese vote is strong because within 15 minutes after the Chinese vote they are hungry to vote again....

 

I sound crazy but it would be fun to see Rafer in the all star game because of his history with And 1. Not saying he deserves it but it would be entertaining if he pulled some moves.

 

i don't see artest making it to the all-star game unless he's voted in as a starter by the fans.

 

LETS GET THIS GUY IN! AND GET RAFER STARTING AS WELL! hahaha jK

 

I would like to see Artest to be a starter, but it seems to be determined by Chinese fans because of the numbers, either in or out, it is fine for me, but Tmac should decide to not go.

 

I was worried but I think Mcgrady and Artest would sit if voted in, so i'm not that worried about them anymore.

...but if Yi gets in, he'll probably play.

 

I don't understand u guys...the all-star game is about THE FANS not who deserves to be there...its who FANS WANT TO SEE...people want to see TMAC AND RON LET IT BE! Don't say they don't deserve it or anything because the fans want to see them...and I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY ALL-STAR game had three players from the same team start in the game???? BECAUSE THIS COULD BE THE FIRST if it hasn't happened before

 

Personally I hope none of our players make it to the All Star Game so they can sit at home and rest the injuries.

 

vote here, vote often....
