This just shows how retarded a lot of NBA fans are. Battier is getting a lot of votes from China because of Yao. Mihm gets votes from the Laker idiots who dont have a clue.

Replace Shaq with Dwight Howard, and Vince Carter with Gilbert Arenas, and the East will be amazing. I'd replace TMac with AI or Steve Nash in the West, but otherwise it seems very accurate.
Jesus, people should be required to take a basketball IQ test before they vote, seriously. I mean some of these people have no idea, they just vote for their favorite players and not who should really be starting in this game.- Iggy over Emeka?- Marbury ahead of Billups and Redd? Haha give me a break!- Francis ahead of Joe Johnson (who is having an excellent year) and Rip?!?!- Howard should definitely be starting as the East's center.- Battier over Marion, BOOZER, Odom, and Josh Howard?- Stack on the list? Over Baron Davis?- Dampier 3rd?Ugh. I do know why Battier gets those votes, and I know why T-Mac is getting more votes than he should, even though he hasn't had a good year. Because people from China vote for all the Rockets. Stupid...
It's just a polularity contest, when everyone is able to vote..I can't imagine Francis, Marbury, Stackhouse, Battier, and Dampier in the all-star game..thats just crazy
Hey, I vote for my team. It's fun, the All-Star game has turned into a bit of a joke though, in all sports. The fan voting has really screwed things up...sorry. I just gotta give Raja Bell and Barbosa some love and Ike Diogu too.
Yes, Chris is still holding up even with his injury. Come on, Chris. Come back, and solidify your all star start.

Stupid...</div>I agree with everything else you said, even Stack(idiot NBA voters who don't pay attention, Harris would be a better pick) except for Damp. He deserves to be 3rd...hell he could be second behind Yao and it wouldn't be terribly off.Besides Amare and Yao...no center has played as well as Damp, especially lately...the guy has been a driving force for the Mavs this year.What I like to see is that Josh Howard is getting some votes...he's only 8th, and won't make it...but hell, having two guys in the top 8 at any position from one team is nice to see. Terry 6th among guards shows that SOME voters are actually paying attention too. IMO.BTW, having Dirk at 3rd is a good spot in the West...but I still don't get why people continue to vote for KG as the Best Foward...Yes he is talented, and yes most of the other fowards have better teams...but KG is obviously lacking somewhere in the leadership or just doesn't have the "it" factor enough to become more of a winner...That's more important to me really. Yeah I'd like KG on my team...but not over Dirk, TD, Amare, or even Melo. Just my rant for the day.

This is just a fun game that means nothing so I don't know why your starting the "he's not a good leader" talk.
^All I was saying is that evenutally you have to start looking at why the guy doesn't win, besides the whole "he has a bad team" crap.Yeah he should go to the All star game...all I said was that I'd take Dirk, TD, and at least Melo, above him.
It's gonna be Tmac, Kobe, Garnett, Duncam, and Yao in the West.. ITS GONNA BE. If it isn't then......................................... iono... BUT IT IS
If Steve Nash is not a starter im going to kill myself. This guy is the best PG in the NBA hands down. Not even Iverson should start over this guy.
Yes, Gilbert's gonna get voted on! He could start at PG now that Iverson's gone western! This is great! The hibachi's takeover is going well.
I've been voting extremely biased, except for the centre spot in the west and most positions in the east, and ofcourse I've Voted Sasha in too
Why do some of you guys take that the voting is horrible so seriously? It's always been like this and I've been used to it for years. I mean it's obvious 75% of the voters just vote for their teams players. I wish though the league could choose instead since obviously the best players aren't playing taking away the excitement of the game. Atleast Melo will finally get in this season.
