    Default is Kevin Durant not that popular with the casual fans?

    It surprises me that the 3rd release of the all star votes just came out and durant is 5th in west front court votes.

    I'm surprised he's actually that high considering how many games he's missed, and how OKC is doing in the standings, especially with a stacked Western front court.

    Ahead of players on top seeded teams like Dwight, LMA, Dirk, etc.

    Durant has less votes than Chris Bosh

    I'm surprised CP3 is that low. Is usually a lock for top 2, plays in LA, in commercials etc

    Asian likes Kobe, Harden, and Curry more than CP3.

    Has to be because of the fact that he's missed so much games.

    He's mostly neutral on a lot of things and seems like a nice guy so it's hard to get excited about him one way or the other

    compared to players like Lebron, Kobe... even Gasol seem to be more interesting since they always have crazy back-stories

    Asian likes Kobe, Harden, and Curry more than CP3.
    I can see Kobe but where are you getting harden and curry from? . Why aren't asian people all into Jeremy Lin? They were when he was in NYC but I thought he would get even more asian love in LA.. his popularity seems to be waning.

    Kobe fans like curry while Harden is playing for the Rockets which is a popular team in Asia.

    as a one time MVP player

    I think he lacks stans, and his game generally speaks for itself.


    maybe casual fans don't feel as excited as getting to watch him play


    but one FA off-season and everything changes.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he would be interested in seeing what other FA in his class could be interested in joining him in OKC, before he makes his decision.

    one headline like that. Boom!

    Lin sucks. Most of the Asian Kobe fans dislike him.
