    Yeah I agree, but we're talking about fans here.

    Had there been a vote to get Brent in the contest, I really doubt he would've been in it.

    Yeah, I know. SHHH!!! Keep it on the down low.

    Read this line over and over until you are brainwashed: "Rudy is the best, and simply saying that is good enough for me."

    I'm still not sure why, outside of the "Spanish flair" aspect, it is that it's Rudy and not Jerryd.

    He might have single handily set white dunkers back 15 years with his participation.

    Hey, the AS game is all about marketing and letting the fans get who they want. If having Yi in there brings in more money and more popularity to the NBA, so be it.

    I know it absolutely sucks from a basketball point of view, but let's remember that it's also a business.

    My bad. I know he is in New Jersey now, maybe I was just subconciously still thinking of him in a Bucks uniform. What is even more strange, Ridnour and Yi were never on the Bucks at the same time, which begs the question: who the hell is voting for Luke then?

    I think sometimes, fans vote for the worst player on the ballot. And also, I think that sometimes fans vote for someone who they think will give their favorite player the least competition. Maybe? IDK... can't really think of another excuse. He isn't even the best PG on his own team.
