    My votes every single day have literally been: FVV, Jalen, Brooks, Bari, Sengun. I even begrudge voting for eastern conference teams, so I try and find ex-Rockets to vote for.

    In Clutch's post on Lowry, he said he had thought that too, but was told by his people that actually coaches are influenced to some extent to choose players in the top five of fan voting...

    Once @Clutch throws his full weight behind the campaign to make our best player and franchise player Alpi an all-star, it will happen!

    My confidence level is 60% that we can do this!

    (Although I might be going rogue with this prediction. After all, rumour has it that "the front office" views Alpi as 'possibly the worst pick and roll defender in the league'.)

    eksisozluk.com is the Turkish version of wikipedia, only more free/liberal one to write (unfortunately there are lots of cencorship in wikipedia even I like too much).

    The campaign started in eksisozluk but only 6 pages so far (Alperen Sengun thread at 409th page). If people push eksisozluk thread there is more chance him to get more votes.

    you don’t have to vote for Eastern Conference players, in fact you can just vote for Sengun and Sengun only if you like, that’s all I’ve been doing for the past few days

    You have a better chance winning the Mega Million than Sengun getting voted into the All Star game.

    The NBA is the most rigged sport. Sengun will need a lot of injuries from the bench players to get selected by the head coach. He won’t make it.

    starters will be:

    Luka
    Curry
    Lebron
    Jokic
    Durant

    reserves:

    Shai
    Booker
    Davis
    Kwahi
    Edwards
    Fox
    Zion
    Kyrie
    Jackson or Sabonis or Towns

    Lotteries have odds around 1 to 14.000.000. NBA teams have around 150 starters. All-stars are 24 a year. Any starter has a chance of 24/150 or 1.6%.

    Alp has much more than 1.6% and we push him to become. You might not vote but please don't discourage people.

    Primum non nocere.

    Dammit, I didn't realise I could send in a partial ballot, you couldn't in previous years. Thanks for the tip!

    I didn't read it tbh, I always do All star voting so I didn't really need prompting.

    Just the pic in the OP - I also didn't know you could just vote for one player, so I tested that.
