    Sorry, I am not going to pay big money to go to a game then spend it voting the entire time. Besides, the space is limited anyway unless I am using MGB's seats. For the Charlotte game both of the people next to me were touching me almost the entire game. Add voting to that equation and it would have been a threesome.

    If you go to 7 games, vote 5 times at each game. Plus, vote online.

    It appears it's going to be tough to explain basic math to people but we have to make the effort, magnifier.

    Huh?! Dude you can vote on your phone! You post in here during games.

    Man we got some weird fans... Just make a daily effort to vote for your players. It takes like 5 minutes to do it.

    It's not happening. Give up the dream.

    The number of people that would actually give up a couple seconds of their day to vote is extremely, extremely limited.

    Dude. You're not listening. LeBron only got 1.5 million votes last year INCLUDING China. Curry only got 1 million votes. If 20,000 Blazers fans vote 35 times, we will have the top vote getter at each position. Or if Lillard's followers vote for him twice, he's in. Not many people in China. Not many people anywhere vote. 1.5 million votes is nothing.

    You sound like the guys that go on Shark Tank with the pitch "This is a billion dollar industry and even if we only get 1% of it, that makes us a million dollar company".

    As Mark Cuban would say to this "For that reason, I am out."

    I disagree. We need to change people's attitudes. I'll be willing to do newspaper and TV interviews to explain this.

    Even that would be a huge accomplishment. If they are voted in as starters, it would be the deserving and awesome!

    Dec 15 h to Jan 19th by the way. Magnifier- we got a month to come up with a plan. People are so pessimistic. We have to figure out an easy way to explain this to people.

    Because those are the only two that deserve to be all-stars. Being an all-star should be an honor, no need to cheapen it with role players or be like the all-NBA defensive teams and put Kobe on the list...

    Whoever gets voted in deserves to be an All Star.

    I get the math.... I just don't like the principal of it.
