Deron should be higher, Amare should be higher

Yao has played 91 minutes and Bynum has played 35 minutes. Obviously those numbers don't warrant an all-start selection but they've played this season.

 

[bosoxlover12]

oh someone said they have yet to play this year, my bad


but yeah, still not enough minutes

 

[uwp]

Yao has another stress fracture, so...

 

[DJT]

Yao shouldn't have that many votes...stupid China. Bynum shouldn't have that many votes...stupid LA fans.

Kevin Love should be on there. As well as Blake Griffin.

 

[MapleLeaf]

The West ballot for the Centers is a complete joke. Yao is hurt now, Bynum has played like 2 games..Haywood is having a terrible season..HOW THE <Censored> IS HE UP THERE AND NOT TYSON CHANDLER? Chandler is really deserving of the spot in the West but won't get it because he's not a household name.

Dirk should start for the West since he's having an MVP season, but Pau plays in a more mainstream media in LA, and they are the defending champs.

 

[Lake Louise]

Glad to see no Pistons on there. No one on that team is deserving. I think it said Ben Wallace is the only Piston to be in the Top 10 in his position, on the ballots. Even that's giving too much credit.

I agree that Yao and Bynum shouldn't be on there and that Blake Griffin and Kevin Love, especially Kevin Love. They usually tend to screw up the ballots somehow. Yearly basis.

 

[elcheato]

The West literally has no good center this year lmao

Plus the fact that Pau is better than Dirk.

I hope you're not serious....

I think even Mexi would agree with me on this one

 

[DJT]

Dirk is better.

 

[buzzy]

Gasol is better.

The West has to many good forwards. With Durant, Melo, Duncan, Gasol, Dirk, Love and Griffin somone's gonna get snubbed.

 

[MapleLeaf]

lol at saying Gasol is better.

Imagine how good the Lakers would be if Dirk was the 2nd option

Dirk is gonna go down as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

It'll be a good thing if Yao is selected as the starter... Then Dirk can be selected as his replacement starter and Gasol can move to C, like it should be...

C - Dwight Howard / Pau Gasol
F - Amare Stoudemire / Dirk Nowitzki
F - LeBron James / Kevin Durant
G - Dwyane Wade / Kobe Bryant
G - Derrick Rose / Deron Williams

 

[Pugz]

the voting for these games is redic, always. no need to argue over this because it always has its flaws.

Lol Rondo has more votes than Rose and Garnett more than Stoudemire. Stop hating on the C's...

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Rondo VS Rose is a debate that isn't gonna be settled anytime soon, but you honestly can't tell me Garnett is more deserving of starting than Stoudemire.

26.7 ppg / 9.1 rpg / 2.0 bpg / 54.0% shooting

vs

15.7 ppg / 10.0 rpg / 0.8 bpg / 54.7% shooting

It's not even close...

 

[DJT]

But who is more deserving is a BIG difference than what fans vote for.

Isn't there a few players on each squad that are picked by GMs? I think that will help Love out the most.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

But who is more deserving is a BIG difference than what fans vote for.

Obviously... My original post was who was most deserving of starting, it had nothing to do with the fan vote, so I have no idea why CC06 said that Rondo/Garnett were leading in voting, because I know how to read and can see that in the first post. It's not hating on the Celtics, because I think Stoudemire should start over Garnett, it's common sense.

 

[Swish]

Blake Griffin and especially Kevin Love should of get more votes! they have been the top big men in the league this season obviously including Dwight Howard and some others but they don't get enough credits
