    We saw how an injured T-Mac make the All-star game on the Chinese vote.
    Do you think Yao Ming's fans will vote Kevin Martin into the All-star game next year?

    he aint nearly as popular as Mac is in China. AB is having an all-star year and he still didn't get voted in. Better start going with Yao Ming and doing events with him there in China.

    Probably depends on the Yao-Martin relationship. With Tracy, it was obvious that they were good friends, who hung out. To me, Martin doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is going to make a huge effort to hang with a guy like Yao.

    By your logic Landry and/or Brooks should've been in the ASG this year.

    100% Put it on the board.

    If Yao Ming plays along Kevin next year he's a for sure All-Star

    All depends on how well he is playing next year. The Chinese vote can only count for so much. He needs some American/other votes as well to actually make it. I feel like it's probably unlikely unless he has a stellar season because the West is so loaded with guards. Deron Williams benefited a lot from so many players getting injured (CP3, Kobe, BRoy, etc). And this is D-Will we're talking about, 2nd best PG in the league. If he has a difficult time making the all-star game, then Kevin Martin will probably have an even more difficult time.

    Or he makes it because he'll be a 20+ppg scorer on a contending team...

    Kevin Martin is all-star caliber.

    He certainly will. If he is anywhere close to last years form in a Rockets uni, he will be a starter on the all star team.

    You don't think the Chinese all-star voting for T-Mac was standing in D-Will's way?

    Going to be hard with Kobe...but it is possible if he puts up his usual numbers.

    Starter is a reach. He'll be a reserve, if anything. Maybe make it in on another player's injury.

    you don't think he was having an all-star year when the break came along?

    There are 2 guard spots to vote for. T-Mac and Kobe had the most votes for West guards until the last week's vote swing to Nash.

    Yep, but there are a ton of great Guards it's going to be difficult.

    He's going to have to put up the numbers he put up last season, i'm not doubting him or anything.

    T-mac didn't put up any numbers and was leading all guards except Kobe until January.

    besides a trip with Yao, he went a time by himself and then one on promo for adidas.

    Not sure if it was noticeable, but Yao hasn't played this year, so less Chinese people cared.
