SHaq should play more min than Yao, Shaq is the Center in the NBA right now....Yao's time will come. FOr now, Yao will start. But the game will be SHAQ'S. THis was obviouse before the game even began.
It's not about the most dominant... if it was, then Iverson shouldn't be starting, Kidd should be, Kidd was the real MVP of the league last year... and Francis wouldnt even be in it.. Nash or Payton should be starting.. its about who the fans like, without the fans, there wouldn't be an AS game... so give the fans what they want.
I dont really agree that it should be all about what the FANS want! It should be determined on what kind of an impact a player has had so far this season. How good they have been. Not a popularity contest. I mean, take the Vince carter thing, He was voted a starter and he has only played about 10 games this season. But it was very classy of him to finally pass it along to Jordan.
Do we really need to spend time debating that Shaq got 1 more minute than Yao? Re-read again my post. Halftime Yao 10 mins: 2 pts, 2 rebs Shaq 11 mins: 5 pts, 7 rebs
Let me just add, Shaq got BLOWN AWAY BY THE VOTES. YAO DESERVES more minutes. Period... Besides that, it's like we're watching the Rockets play, Yao isn't getting the ball at all.
Without fan support, there will be no need for this circus act aka ASG. In fact, without fan support, where do you think NBA will be today?
