It's highway robbery, man.

 

LOL I remember one year me and some buddies would vote every day and try to get Garrity in as a write-in candidate. XD

From the "Gee, I Didn't See That Coming" department:

 

Schmitz blog: - "Unless there's a significant sea change, Dwight Howard will get his first All-Star start at center for the exhibition Feb. 17 in New Orleans, beating out a former Magic star, Shaquille O'Neal.

 

The league released its first batch of returns Thursday and Howard has a huge lead over Shaq --- more than 300,000 votes for the East team.

 

Howard, 22, was named by the coaches to his first all-star game last season while Shaq, 35, led the East centers in votes."

I cannot believe that Yi is fifth with just write in votes. As soon as he makes the ballot you can go ahead and lock him at the forward spot for a few years.

 

which is why fans SHOULD NOT be voting.

 

I agree, its crazy! Fendi posted a link where some guys were trying to get Fatoine in the ASG, I would love to do this just to show exactly how flawed the voting system is!

isn't that why they put him in as a center, that way they can be sure he won't start?

 

that is messed up in a way....I agree he doesn't deserve to be an allstar now, but what if he does get good and all star caliber, how do you approach that one....and be fair
