Re: Can Stephen Curry make it to the all star game? Over Parker?
It'll be hard for Curry to make it over Parker since the Spurs are and hopefully remain atop the NBA. Unfortunately for Curry, the team record does stand for something even though Parker has only really started playing very well about 9 games ago.

You're forgetting Lin. He will start for the West. I know you don't believe it but there are more Asians in this world than you can count who will vote for him.

While it's funny to laugh at that it is worth noting that Deron is #7. That's hilarious. Doesn't change the lol of the link but hilarious, nonetheless.

Who are these Asian voters you speak of? Japanese? Korean, ASEAN countries? Indian? Middle East?
China? Lin is a freaking American born American, Dude cannot even speak Mandarin. Chinese biggest sports channel CCTV5 and yes only 1 like ESPN, there is no TNT, do not play Rockets game. its Lebron and Kobe all day. Plus whenever Lin plays there are Taiwan Flags all over places which are considered offensive to China.
Oh damn its Taiwan then, yes lots of them embrace him, but its a ****ing peanut compare to China. If Taiwan can vote Lin into all star then France definitely can put Parker over him.
People are so freaking cluelessly dumb. Oh Asian will vote Lin in, for what, I do not see Europe vote Love in as starter. If anything its the Asian in American vote for him.
Re: Can Stephen Curry make it to the all star game? Over Parker?
To be fair, the Rockets are the most marketed NBA team in China (Rockets owner even has his own corp. set-up in China I think), and Lin is the only Asian-American currently playing in the NBA. There is a reason they gave him that contract.

The rockets were most marketed team in China when Yao left, it is not. Heat has more Chinese commercial and endorsement.
When Lin got Linsanity, it was quite a controversial topic, as everyone know China mainstream media is government controlled. They were not sure to go all out to embrace him or not. After Taiwan Flag even appear in Wolves game, All the Religion talk, and during the interview at first he tried to speak Chinese then have to speak English coz he just cannot speak proper Mandarin outside household words. The mainstream Media goes cold on him.
Make no mistake, people love BBall knows him, he went to China for a tour but was received by small TV and internet channels. and speak at some locations. He is like a more attractive Wade status I would say, not Lebron, Definite not Kobe, people go nuts on Kobe. Casual fans and average Joe does not know who the **** is Lin, wont even touch Yao's shoe.
The rockets owner have business in China is non related. He has lots success with Yao and open a lot doors in China and he can make money there. But Lin will not be his bridge to China, I bet you 100% Yao still makes him more money than Lin now, and ever will be. base line people who do not follow BBall do not know who Lin is.
He gives Lin a contract thinking Lin can be the guy, but he is not. But to Les 25mil/3 year is nothing. I am not defending Lin saying he got the contract coz only solely Morey thinks his talent worth that much. I am just saying most people in China simply do not know who Lin is.
Re: Can Stephen Curry make it to the all star game? Over Parker?
I think Curry or Lee have a better shot at MVP than making the all star game? Why is that? Because the Warriors will get snubbed no matter what. All the other players are locks, so there won't be any new all stars. Because of that, I'm going to boycott the shameful all star game this year, as I view it as a disgrace. Lee is even better all around than Griffin, Love, Gasol, and Bosh. Nobody wants to hear that because they won't swallow their pride, but there is an argument to be made for that.
