Didn't you hear? Your not allowed to say anything bad regarding Yi on these boards. If you do you'll be reminded that everything else is wrong about the nets, NJ, and anything associated with it, but Yi is not a problem.
It was lame, classless, but this is no win topic. All-star game is popularity contest. We can only criticize on these anonymous votes. And all the hate always end up on the Chinese guy on the team that did nothing. Yi sucks, but wtf, he didn't vote for himself.
Official Site Rules for SportsTwo SportsTwo is intended to be a fun community. Keep this in mind, as all of our rules are geared toward making it this way. 1. All posters with honorable intentions are welcome. 2. This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other. 3. Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo. 4. Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another in good fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed. 5. Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not. 6. SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it. 7. Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences. Seems like plenty of excuses for banning here.
Woah woah woah. You think we're hating on Yi because he's Chinese? Get real; we're hating on the fact that he's getting so much votes when he doesn't even deserve it. Say it was Trenton Hassell in his place; the same thing would be said about him.
I wouldn't hate anyone who get votes. they didn't vote for themselves. what's so hard to understand. You're all jealous on who deserves to be popular in a popularity contest. The fans might be idiots but they have the right to vote for who ever they want. If Hassell can get votes, more power to him. I probably wouldn't watch the all-star game. that is my right.
No one is denying that the fans have the right to vote for whoever they want. We're simply discussing why Yi shouldn't be in the game. If he makes it, no one is going to put a gun to his head, either.
well, every other person here is a mod. if anyone was insulted by what i posted, they must be virgins to the internet. However, if anyone here actually cared about the All-star game and it's ridiculous voting methods. Yeah, you're probably pretty sensitive. Hello kitty Island adventure is probably more your style. BTW, I'm glad you're not a mod, you're probably the type to abuse power to get back at people.
Joe Johnson is a good player, if only his name didn't sound like an alias used to pick up prostitutes. What a bland name.
I actually agree with your content, if not your tone. If people are pissed about Yi, they should be pissed about the methodology, not the voters.
The East's problem is that its allstar team should be composed of Bosh, Lebron, Garnett, Granger, and Howard, and then 7 guards. The East has been a guards conference this year, and some deserving players are going to be left off for roster balance.
