Thank you for ur clarification... but from my understanding, all-stars are those players most ppl like, not those players who have good stat. and that's why MVP are not voted by us. i understand that u love nash more than Battier and TMac, but u cannot blame those ppl who love Battier and TMac more than nash.
You're REAL DUMB if you think the Chinese fans' voting will have any bearing to the final number of votes that Yao Ming, or TMAC or Shane Battier get. How many basketball fans you know are there in China ??? Even if there is only 1 basketball fan in every 100 Chinese, there will be about 13M basketball fans in China. How many votes the 3 of them got ??
Ehh., if this is the reason you think a Human can be Filthy, you must never have watched the news. People have done terrible things in the world, you know things called wars, genocides, rapes, and just random killing? those are examples of terrible actions by humans. What he said was ignorant, i agree, but it is not a terrible thing that he said it. If i were you i wouldn't care so much what a random guy on a basketbal forum writes, just some advice.
It only takes about 1.5 - 2 million votes to be named a starter in the All star game, accordingly even a small minority (500,000 or so, which is something like 1 out of every 2500 chinese) can make a significant impact if they voted.
When will people get it through their thick skulls that the STARTERS are who the fans want to see, not who has played the better season. Why do you think the coaches select the bench and fans pick the starters? The All-Star game itself is all about entertainment. There is a reason they have All-NBA teams at the end for things like this. You should know by now that the Starters are a popularity contest and not about whos had the better season. I rather see a starting backcourt of Kobe & T-Mac than Kobe & Nash.
