    When you vote online, it shows the order. It may not include Twitter, Instagram, FB, and texting but it gives you a good idea of how people are voting. Aldridge is way down. Warriors fans are trying and nearly succeeding to get Speights in.

    Curry is hot on Twitter and on online voting, so I think he's in. Then it comes down to Harden, Paul, and Lillard.

    Man all I see on Twitter is Golden State fans voting. If only Blazer fans were this dedicated

    It's a cute ploy by the nba, but it's still too easy to manipulate it.

    it's funny, though. i don't have a loser mentality.. since i said we'd come back from 23 down against charlotte. so, use better words next time. I just don't believe the nba is honest about this, whatsoever.

    You said Lillard has no chance. That is a losers mentality. Vote!

    Lol. I'm saying he doesn't have a chance because of outside forces dictating. not because of him. it's not loser mentality, it's seeing that it's not a forthright business. which is sad, because dame deserves to be in there, and a fan vote shouldn't be employed.

    It is what it is. VOTE for him. That's like saying Lillard shouldn't shoot the three at the end of Game 6 because the league is fixing it for Houston to win. All I'm saying is VOTE!! Please vote if you think he deserves it.

    That's where we differ. I don't think my vote means anything. Not like a vote for something political (though sometimes that seems sketch too)

    The game 6 example doesn't work. Someone has to take the shot... not everyone has to vote.

    I think dame makes it with the coaches. at least, i hope so. But fan voting should be taken away. It was a ploy to generate fan interest. Now, it should be gone. It's shown to put in undeserving players as starters. if they flipped it, and said they could vote for one or two bench spots, it might work. have the coaches choose starters. until then, votes won't work as intended. a shame, really. but with a corrupt company, it's not surprising

    Actually, it looks like the order listed on the website is based on the PIE (Player Impact Estimate) rating, not on number of votes. So unfortunately, Kobe is not 16th in votes, nor is Damian 4th, however badly I wish that was true.

    I just don't see Kobe not being voted in. The slim from his sleaze is strong.

    Depends on where the Blazers record is in mid January. Westbrook is back earlier this year and will get a ton of votes, as will Klay if the Warriors keep not losing.

    Ahhhhh. Interesting. Well that's still good. Shows our guy right up there at the top when making a decision. People are voting for Lillard on Twitter. Strenuus- even if you think your vote doesn't count, will you please still vote?? Show your support for our guys.

    CP3 will probably get most the LA votes so if Curry can also get voted in as a starter it could keep Kobe out. I'd be all for that. I don't see the coaches voting in a player on a horrible Lakers team when there are so many great PG's in the west. It doesn't have to be a PG+SG the coaches vote for; they can vote all PG's for the 4 potential backup guard spots. It would be great to see Kobe shut out of the all star game. But hey he is the NBA all time leader in missed shots and the highest paid player until 2016. The Lakers can enjoy getting that 6th pick in the draft so it goes to the Suns.

    It's a bloody crime that the west is this stacked. Lillard is an All-Star whether he fits on the roster or not.
