    Kevin Garnett (Bos) 1,101,541; Yi Jianlian (NJ) 959,324

    Come All-star time, Yi will have starting votes over Garnett. Enough said.

    The All-Star game is already a joke so who cares?

    I like him because his potential is huge and his style of play can and could be similar to Nowitzki.

    Don't say that, he will never be nowitzki. He is poor man's Mikki Moore.

    Can we incorporate articles and conjunctions and maybe even a little punctuation? Even if you are a non-native speaker, are very young, or have not received a certain level of education, don't be internet-lazy; some effort and energy in that department would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If they send Yi down to the D league he would be the first all star playing in the D league. The real funny part here would be he wouldn't be any good in the D league, yet starting on the all star game. How ironic...

    I have really avoided all the Yi-hating and Yi-loving threads. But this one got to me.

    Mikki was ALL ENERGY. He single handedly got the fans going...and he came out and gave great effort every time he set foot on the floor. And he did things EMPHATICALLY -- moves with gusto, especially dunks.

    I was very sad to see him go as a fan favorite. Understood all the financial issues.

    I'll give you this -- Yi has a very similar body type to Mikki. I think the fans are waiting for Yi to hit that incredibly timely 3...to do a thunder dunk or two...and to be in the middle of the fray. He will quickly earn the fans respect and interest.

    There are glimmers of hope...when he puts the ball floor lately, I like his intent...even if he doesn't always convert. I've seen him make some good defensive plays from time to time and grab a few rebounds. SOME of this will keep us crazed Nets fans believing he is earning his minutes on the floor.

    i think so yes. but the thing is YI SUCKS, and he wants him in the allstar game over Garnett because of "potential".

    He used to wear lipstick when he was a Buck, now he is a Net and don't do that kind of thing anymore.

    No personal attacks, please. - The Joker

    My original post was an implication of my dislike of Kevin Garnett and his etiquette, or lack thereof. With Yi getting more votes, Garnett may lose his starting All-Star position.

    As for potential, that was a defence against someone's accusation that I only like Yi because he's Chinese. Which is absurd to say the least.

    Try Mo ager or CDR, those guys haven't done anything all year and have no game skills in any time they've been given.

    Funny thing is, Yi isn't even the best seven footer on the team, Brooke Lopez is, and some how Yi is going to the All-Star game.
