There ya have it.. Baron Davis deserved to start IMO but finished 5th in voting behind (Iverson, Tmac, Kidd, Bron) and Vince Carter does not deserve to lead voting again this year.. But oh well, there's nothin we can do..
Yao beats out Shaq...again. And for basically the same reason. Which isn't asian fans. It's Shaq's fat *** can't stay healthy and on the court. Barkley was saying it was dumb that Shaq wasn't starting, but then they turned around and said Sam Cassell should be on it off of one year--well you can't have it both ways. Shaq hasn't played well enough this year to deserve an all-star start.
Anyhow. I agree that Cassell should be starting over Francis. Francis has been garbage this year every time I've seen him. Gary Payton and Steve Nash even, have been better PGs.
theres no way francis and ming should have made the starting roster:upset: i hate fan votting it would be better if they have coaches or some media members or sumtin like that.
While O’Neal received more electronic votes from fans around the world, Yao defeated O’Neal by outpacing him on paper ballots that were distributed in-arena, at movie theatres and at retail stores where balloting was available in the United States and Canada.
Yea, but at least the people you named at least deserve to be on the team. Francis has no right to be on the team. Hes not playing good at all this year.
So, Houston not only has two all stars, but two all star starters. One of them is a good big man which is the key element in winning. So why isnt Houston a contender? Because Francis shouldnt be starting and the west doesnt have very good guards, PG's especially. Cassell is good though, he should be starting.
Final results at the top, but all previous rounds of results located right underneath, cool to see how the voting changed (or diddn't, depending on who you look at)

I think people need to keep in mind that this is the all-star game, not the all-NBA teams. I think that if the fans want to see a player enough that they vote him in, then he deserves to start. It's not as if every other year the top five from each conference are the starters, and this year the fans just blew it this time around.
Just my opinion, of course. It's quite apparent that a lot of people disagree.
which was also true last year, but this will go down as one of the least known-facts...
