    I know right. It is pretty rediculous if you ask me. How in the world does he have more votes then a players like J-Rich, Bibby, or Jason Terry?

    The All-star game is in Houston. So, it's only natural that Houstonians are voting disproportionately more than the rest of the country.

    Plus the Rockets have been getting a lot of national tv coverage this season.

    ....But its david wesley. This guy has never won any award in the nba and isn't known. In fact, at the beginning of the season his shot was horrible and is just now in recent weeks coming back around.

    I doubt the Chinese would go through all the trouble to vote in Wesley. The game's in Houston, and Houstonians are probably making sure their city and team is being repped. Not that Wesley is going to start though, so how many more votes he got in comparison to others is a moot point.

    oh hell no... im a houston fan and i think it would be a shame to have wesley on the all star team... Those other players clearly are better than him. I'd trade wesley and a 2 2nd round picks for jrich or bibby!

    Was it broadcasted globally Yao and McGrady voting for the all star game?

    You know the thing about Chinese people is that most won't know the difference between a freethrow and a touchdown, they'll still vote players into the all-star game. They basically just vote for every player with HOU by his name.

    It would be funny if Wesley made it. I didn't vote on him because I thought he was better than the rest, but because I like him more than the rest. He plays for our Houston team and I will vote for almost any Houston player.

    If he gets in, then it just means that their are more people who voted for Weskey out their. It doesn't make him the better player.

    People need to understand this.

    How do you know he is getting more votes than them? Where can I see the results? TELL ME!
