Son of a bitch. Steph has twice the votes Dame does. Dame is now the better player, the numbers show it but Steph for some unknown reason is a two time MVP so it was to be expected.
Curry still dominates Real Plus Minus along with LeBron James (they've been the top two for years, trading first and second). For players like Curry (and Lillard) especially, I think that stat is the most important, because it captures their "gravity"...how the attention they draw makes things easier for their teammates. I think he's still the better player. Lillard versus Doncic is a better argument, IMO.
Voting for starters is 50% fan vote, 25% players, 25% media. Dame needs to beat out Luka. Prolly won't get the fan vote, but might get the players'. Media is tossup with all the Luka stans out there who love everything Cuban.
We really should've come up with a way to stuff the ballots. Find some twitter account that has a ton of stans following it and have them retweet the shit out of the hashtag or something.
tho honestly, it'd be much funnier if they picked some scrub to do that to. Like, vote in Meyers Leonard (since he's out all year) or Zach Collins (same).
I don't know about loving everything Cuban, but Luka is an incredible player. I don't think it'd be a snub either way. Both Luka and Dame are playing at "All Star starter" and "All NBA first team" levels, so it could go either way.
My kids all work as they are employed and required to work to support their employers existence. NBA players are employees too and paid extremely well so If their employers and FANS want then to show up to work, the need to man up as others are doing.
Where is Blevins? People probably don't know whether to look for him under the guards or the forwards.
