Bruce Bowen?

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

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).

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.

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

Gilbert Arenas (Wash) 64,450.


Looks like Gilbert uses a computer for more than blogging.

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.

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.

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

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

[Beebo]

Yeah go YI!!

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.

If we had sigs, this is great material...

[jbot]

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

glad to know it's idiot proof at some point.

[Valliant13]

Yeah go YI!!

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!
