Merged: 2010 NBA All-Star voting so far

[AUhawksfan]

Pretty much what I expected... What happened to NBA fans?? Back in the 90´s it wasn't this bad. The average NBA fan today seems to be totally ignorant about what is going on in the league.

It wasn't that bad, but it still had some similarities. It all comes back to star power and highlight ability of a player. Your average fan may only see commercials and know players through hearsay, not exactly the ones that are having good seasons this year. The voting basically reflects that.

Grant Hill drinks Sprite = well known commercial and All-star appearances way past his prime.

Tim Hardaway is another example that comes to mind. Him and his ugly *ss Bacon shoes.....

Further proving: the fans don't know s***.

McGrady hasn't even played and is a career loser. His team was better without him. That wasn't a coincidence.

TMac is a subsidiary of Yao's popularity in China. You guys didn't know that

The Hawks have no starting caliber players, so what we need to hope for is someone that doesn't deserve a bid gets voted in. I think we'll be fine, although I wouldn't be suprised if Joe is once again our only representative.

I do think Josh and Al have a fighting chance though to get selected as reserves, especially if the General winds up being the Coach which is a little bit of a longshot.

The McGrady and Iverson votes are especially shameful given how little they have played.

That said, the game is an exhibition for the fans so if they really want someone to be a starter it doesn't torque me too much.

Tmac has mostly been a boring player in his career, so I don't see what the fans see.

It's Chinese fans voting for the only candidate on their team

Yea, this is crap... I get on there every now and then to vote for Joe and Josh.

I don't get why anyone would bother taking the time to go out of their way to vote for Joe and Josh. Neither one of them has any chance at all of starting the ASG

Maybe because they want to give them the chance of starting in the ASG??

It takes like 1 mintue to vote anyway...
