    North American people have to realize, the majority of Chinese basketball fans don't believe Yi is All-star level material, but still vote for him for other reasons perhaps. My reasoning was that I dislike KG's etiquette and hoped someone replaced him on the starting line-up. I voted for Bosh but it looks like he won't get the start over Garnett, which is a shame because I feel as though Bosh is a better person and just as good a player as Garnett.

    I think Bosh should be a starter, but he won't be. KG is gonna get it for sure. Also, I believe that Yi even being considered over Bosh is fucking bullshit. No way in hell does Yi even deserve to be in the same sentence with Bosh.

    The problem with your reasoning and an important fact you happen to over look is that while you may vote the AS starters, you don't determine their playing time. The coach DOES. KG will be an All Star regardless of your hate for him AND he will play major minutes if he wants to. You have no control over that. The only thing you are doing is preventing a more deserving player than Yi a spot on the All Star team.

    Suck it up because despite what you believe, you actually have NO impact on KG's All Star status...................oh and losing with class. That's classic!!!!!!

    I agree with you. Bosh is far superior in comparison to Yi in every aspect. But I just want to see someone other than KG starting in the All-star, even if that means an undeserving Yi. With the actions of KG lately, I'm not quite sure who is more deserving than the other.

    Of the ten starters, Tracy McGrady is the one who doesn't deserve to get in. Are the Chinese still voting for him too?

    It's definitely plausible since he's a Rockets player.....

    Net have a better record than the Raptors. Raptors getting whooped on by the Bucks with Bogut hurt is pathetic. Bosh end up looking stupid. Raptors are now the biggest joke in the league.

    Also, that scrub Yi picked up the slack last night with Harris injured. What's the Raptor's excuse?

    No he doesn't but they are fans of his so they will vote for him. This reminds me of the game where Raptor fans were yelling MVP after bosh made a shot.
