And Yi is third in East Forward voting.

[QUOTE]Eastern Conference

Forwards: LeBron James (Clev) 643,786; Kevin Garnett (Bos) 495,514; Yi Jianlian (NJ) 356,556; Chris Bosh (Tor) 274,195; Paul Pierce (Bos) 153,512; Shawn Marion (Mia) 144,066; Josh Smith (Atl) 59,574; Tayshaun Prince (Det) 56,846; Hedo Turkoglu (Orl) 56,006; Danny Granger (Ind) 49,752; Michael Beasley (Mia) 48,999.

Guards: Dwyane Wade (Mia) 623,311; Allen Iverson (Det) 492,093; Vince Carter (NJ) 236,634; Ray Allen (Bos) 174,155; Jose Calderon (Tor) 124,705; Luke Ridnour (Mil) 123,104; Jameer Nelson (Orl) 116,228; Derrick Rose (Chi) 102,263; Joe Johnson (Atl) 94,847; Devin Harris (NJ) 94, 294; Gilbert Arenas (Wash) 64,450.

Centers: Dwight Howard (Orl) 775;933; Samuel Dalembert (Mia) 116,708; Rasheed Wallace (Det) 88,885; Jermaine O

dirks been the best forward in the west this year but he wont get voted in as a starter :( what a surprise.

Fan voting has been retarded for a while now. Let's change it to NBA coaches/ass coaches.

Luke Ridnour is ahead of derrick rose, joe johnson, and devin harris. what are people smoking?

Brandon Roy getting no love, and neither is Devin Harris.

Lol @ Yi but if it means anything I have a chinese buddy ACTUALLY FROM CHINA as in he used to watch CBA and NBA, and he said where he's from they think Yi is ok but nowhere near that good and shouldn't be an allstar, and he doesn't have enough experience and gets scared in big games, so it's not like all Chinese blindly vote for Yi regardless if he isnt the best, i think its like America here in america theres alot of dumb people in china theres alot of dumb people too, those are the ones who vote for yi also anyone notice Dalembert is second most votes for center, um if he gets in he'd be the worst all star ever way way worse than Okur and even Yi getting in

dalembert 2nd in voting?:wtf: gets kicked off of team canada but has a chance to end up as a nba all-star?:wtf: :wtf:

why is jermaine o'neal even on there? he hasn't been all-star material for years.

the voting is so dumb. granger is so far behind i'm depressed.

dwight didnt have this many votes last year on the first return. its always teh dunk contest winners who get voted the most the next year

until they take the vote away from fans the all-star starters will be a popularity contest instead of the players who really deserve it.players like tracy mcgrady will get votes while injured while a brandon roy gets no love

Lol. Voting for the All Star game is like voting for NBATV fan night. Bad idea

just so were clear no one is arguing brandon roy should actually be starting right???? I agree he should be higher but youd have to be high to think he should start.

he has no chance, wont catch dwight
and coaches will never vote him in

fan voting is just for the starters of the all star game. i have no problem with the fans voting in who they want to see starting. but the rest of the teams gets picked out by the all star coach. they'll know who are deserving of the pick.

Looks like the dream of YI starting isn't going to come true, if only KG stayed on the Wolves..

Forwards: LeBron James (Clev) 643,786; Kevin Garnett (Bos) 495,514; [B]Yi Jianlian (NJ) 356,556[/B]; Chris Bosh (Tor) 274,195; Paul Pierce (Bos) 153,512; Shawn Marion (Mia) 144,066; Josh Smith (Atl) 59,574; Tayshaun Prince (Det) 56,846; Hedo Turkoglu (Orl) 56,006; Danny Granger (Ind) 49,752; Michael Beasley (Mia) 48,999.

Yi has 100 000 more than Bosh, a double the votes of Paul Pierce, and 7 times the votes of Danny Granger.

He is putting up 11points (at 43%) and 6 boards.

How many years are we from having an all China starting lineup consisting of a crippled Yao, 6th man Yi, and three Chinese D-Leaguers that somehow snuck on the Ballot.

Bruce Bowen? :roll:

[QUOTE=DuMa]dwight didnt have this many votes last year on the first return. its always teh dunk contest winners who get voted the most the next year[/QUOTE]

dunk contest winners rarely even make the all-star game. dwight howard will be the first slam dunk camps since 2000 (vince carter) to make the all-star team in the following season and only the third since 1990 (dominque wilkens in 1990 made the game in 1991, kobe in 1997 made the game in 1998).

gerald green, nate robinson, josh smith, fred jones, j. richardson, desmond mason, brent barry, harold minor, cedric ceballos, and dee brown didn't even sniff all-star games at all in their careers (so far for the current players).

I'm with you. I think he should be on the bench though.

[B]Gilbert Arenas (Wash) 64,450.[/B]


Looks like Gilbert uses a computer for more than blogging.

ur right i wonder why Monkey King hasn't gotten more votes

AI :applause:

Yeah, they should change the voting. Make it 50% fans, 50% coaches or something. Damn, if it weren't for the Allen Iverson trade, Vince Carter would be second among East guards. Very funny that Yi is 3rd among East forwards though. Wouldn't be surprised if he somehow snuck in to 2nd and beat KG.

hold on Dee Brown won a dunk contest, as in little Dee Brown used to play for the Jazz and Illinois?

Also goddamn Iverson East guards should be Wade, Joe Johnson, Devin Harris and VC

Yeah go YI!!

no

dee brown in 1991 from the celtics, as in the guy who went to jacksonville university and lived next door to my cousins.

Nice! Yi!

Keep voting for him people. The Antoine Walker thing was great and would've been awesome but Yi is the closest thing to a scrub (I know he's solid and not scrub) that has a chance to get voted in.

It's time to screw with this voting system or force the NBA to rig it and hopefully get exposed.

Yeah Yi...way to make it in on your race alone. Great achivement that will in no way alienate North American fans against you! Hooray for blind nationlism! :cheers:

And your starting lineup for the 2015 All Star Game is: Yue, Yo, Yi, Yah, Yao

Lol would be kinda funny, but I would have to shoot myself at the same time.

That's silly, Yao will be retired by then, and Yu will be starting...

Typical. Every year the first returns come in and every year people whine about it. The All Star game is played [B]for[/B] the fans and its only fitting that they get to choose the starters. Yi could start over KG or LeBron for all I care...he's not anywhere remotely close to them as a player but in terms of popularity, he's up there so people need to get over it!

Devin Harris has a ridiculously low amount of votes.

I hope Shaq makes the team. It'd be great to see him play in his home team's city for the ASG in what has been a great comeback season for him.

Starting? His career as a server at the Guandong Applebees? Or is he going back to the CBA?

Yeah, I'm voting for Yi. I'd rather he make it than Garnett anyway, who hasn't been that impressive this year.

Horrible list, just Horrible. Brandon Roy has played better than Kobe this year. Also How in the world are some of those guys on the list?
