Draymond has supplanted Griffin and Kawhi in votes.

[look_at_g_shred]

OP updated with frontcourt votes.

[D-rob fan]

Here's the west list below. Complete list in the link. http://www.nba.com/2016/news/01/07/kobe-bryant-stephen-curry-lead-second-nba-all-star-returns-voting-2016/

Draymond and Kawhi are pretty close. Looks like Draymond got a good boost from his three triple double games. Kawhi needs some more high profile big games.

[D-rob fan]

Hah, I just noticed Zaza is ahead of Dirk. How does that happen!?

[spursistan]

Kawhi not starting; horse mouth will :lmao..

[look_at_g_shred]

It's probably better that Kawhi doesn't start seeing that Westchimp won't even pass him or anybody else the ball :lol I want to be all-star MVP again :cry

[$pursDynasty]

Kind of torn, in a way I want respect, our record right now is better than the Hawks last year and people were lobbying for them to have 5 all stars and they ended up with four (caveat I know the East sucked ass last year, but still). I also respect the fact that Tim would rather not go to the ASG and get the week off but it is a respect thing. People are talking about the Dubs guaranteed 3 and trying to find a 4th the squeeze in, even though the West has some serious talent in it. TBH all I would want from our team is LMA and Kiwi. I would like for LMA to know you don't have to sacrifice all notice by playing with the Spurs and getting those chips. Maybe also DWest so he can get something back for his financial sacrifice but the big three I don't think really care. Well maybe Tony's agent does, it could help with future advertising opportunities. That being said on the days I remember it I use all my 10 votes on Spurs players, lol.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pachulia and Kanter ahead of LMAlpha?! You lazy fucks can't even move your mouses and vote more than meth'd out OKC fans smdh

[hater]

Don't most ppl in North Mexico have dial up lines? Hard to vote multiple times at 24kb per second tbqh

[spursistan]

looks like the entire population Georgia voted for Zaza :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Or, Spurs fans don't care about the All Star game. I know I don't.

Haha! I can't believe he's only 30k votes behind Tim

[Spur|n|Austin]

[TheGreatYacht]

Good job by NBA fans to not vote for Cousins. Just a 42% shooting flopper.

[spursistan]

A team potentially having the best record in the league by Allstar game (or close to it but still historic record) having no starter in All-star game..has it ever happened?

[apalisoc_9]

Or, Spurs fans don't care about the All Star game. I know I don't.

Going to cost SA a few decent FA in the next 50 years though.
spurs fans i dont give an F persona is really boring

Good thing we have the league's best coaches and development and favorable tax policy. Now if you told me we'd lose band wagon foreign fans lol.

[NameLess Scrub]

It gets harder to care, and the old big 3 needs rest.

But Kawhi and LaMarcus deserve it and they're young enough.

Meh, it's more embarrassing that Kobrick has the most votes. All-Star game is such a sham.

This. I also have a lot to say about the President but too lazy to vote for one too.

[loveforthegame]

How embarrassing if Green is voted in over Leonard. :td

[steeledl]

I'm glad they are both on the list but I'm pretty shocked manu has more votes than parker .

[steeledl]

They are both having great seasons .

:rollin

[dabom]

The spurs never advertise to vote for kawhi during games. You can bet GSW are using everything they can use to tell people to vote.

[ElNono]

If whataburger and taco cabana would force you to vote for Kawhi before buying a triple-meat burger or a carnita burrito, he would pass Kobe in two weeks, IMO...

exactly. Plus I believe voting is rigged. Out of the millions of people in the world, kobe only has 1.2 million votes? There are half of that alone in california that are laker fans. wtf

[apalisoc_9]

[Sean Cagney]

How embarrassing if Green is voted in over Leonard. :td

It's ridiculous but he is on the medias fave team so you have to expect that.

[cjw]

There are 440 people browsing the forum right now. Assuming that half of them don't even vote, that's 220 votes per day. Multiple devices, so could easily push that up to 500 per day.

500 x 3 days = 1,500 votes, which makes up the difference. It's really not that big.

Problem is Draymond seems to have momentum now and likely will grow that lead.

[D-rob fan]

I second cjw's recommendation. Let's support Kawhi to make sure he gets in ahead of Draymond! Also voted for other spurs players but Leonard has the most realistic chance.

I just voted 3 times. Trying to figure out the other ways to vote.

1) Once on google (super easy!) just google "Spurs vote"


https://www.google.com/search?q=spurs+vote&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe=&safe=active&gws_rd=ssl
2) Once on nba.com


http://vote.nba.com/?ls=iref:nba:specialst3c
3) Once on facebook. Leave a comment anywhere with "Kawhi Leonard #NBAVOTE". I did it on the NBA page.

https://www.facebook.com/


Would be great if someone could make a sticky on the front page with all the voting links.

This will all change after the golden state game. For better or worse.

[D-rob fan]

Actually it wont. Voting ends on January 18th before the game on the 25th. Only 11 days left. Which is why we need to put in our support now.

[D-rob fan]

look_at_g_shred,

How about posting these links to your OP along with any others to make it easy for SpursTalk to bump Kawhi up.

CIA Pop sat LMA and overplayed Tim to offset those votes tbh

[DMC]

Same here. You have a guy with twice as many votes as the 2nd highest vote getter, and he's on the worst team in the league who's GM just stated this is a Kobe parade year. I won't even watch it.

How do you figure that with the constant anal rimming of the GSW by the media day in and day out?

[timtonymanu]

Not really. A cancerous non all star is currently leading the ballot. It means nothing.

[Mikeanaro]

Lol Korpse-be at SF, he should be shitting Westcrook spot not Kiwis, but who cares Spursfan thinks about rings not about 150 something points games with no Defense.

[EVAY]

I hardly ever watch the all star game.

I feel badly for the Spurs players for whom it would probably mean something, but I absolutely refuse to watch a game of "All Hail Kobe" this year.

The All-star game has been pretty shitty since '04.

[100%duncan]

Ive been spamming all over facebook. ugh green ahead of kawhi just ugh

[SpurPadre]

I'm glad they are both on the list but I'm pretty shocked manu has more votes than parker .

Not if Brent Barry is overseeing the vote proceedings, lol.

[DenialTwist]

C'mon everyone needs to vote so Kawhi can start over Draymond. You won't hear the end of it from Draymond if he starts in the ASG. especially after he lost that DPOY to Kawhi. I vote for all the spurs on google, NBAVote daily and I text their names to 69622. There are only 11 days left.

The reason why Draymond got a surge of new votes is because Steph Curry tweeted that he voted for Draymond and 6000+ retweeted him. The official spurs account has 1M followers no reason why Kawhi can't garner enough votes.

[TheDoctor]

...The official spurs account has 1M followers no reason why Kawhi can't garner enough votes.

That's because Spurs' social media is not as aggressive as other team's accounts. Golden Showers social media even designed/created a slogan "DUB the Vote" which tells you how bad they want their players in the All-Star game. Another thing I noticed is that Spurs' social media hardly roots for LMA. Most of the time when they post something is for Kawhi's.

[Obstructed_View]

At least Draymond deserves to be there. Kobe's on at least his second undeserving ASG appearance.

[kaji157]

Tony and Manu have been the best backcourt in the league for like 7 years, got what, 7 all stars combined?

This is nothing new, just get over it, use the rest and build on it for the championship.

[TheDoctor]

Michelle Beadle helping the cause. 340 RTs in 10mins.

Sounds like something Parker would care about. Leave the player fans to their all star votes.

Probably around the last time I watched it.

[daslicer]

Kobe being voted in as an All-star this year threw everything out of wack. The Coaches will still vote Kawhi in as a reserve but I have a bad feeling Lamarcus will get snubbed because of this bs. LMA deserves to be there I would like to see him there just to be rewarded for his sacrifice on the offensive end. LMA is still an all-star player. Its bs an old cripple possibly stopped him from making an ASG game in his prime.

[DenialTwist]

Nice to see that Samuel L. Jackson retweeted the NBAVote for Kawhi. Someone tried to tweet Selena Gomez to RT but she hasn't done anything. Remember when Bieber tweeted to all his fans last year to vote Lowry and they got him on the team.

The joke isn't even putting Bryant on the ballot, it was putting him on the ballot in a position he has literally never played in his entire career.

[Russo21]

What's with this Kobe being in the frontcourt shit? He is a SG and always has been. He is a backcourt player not frontcourt.

[Russo21]

The joke isn't even putting Bryant on the ballot, it was putting him on the ballot in a position he has literally never played in his entire career. Sorry didn't see your post. So I agree 100% wtf

[TheDoctor]

NBA knew Kobe would get lots of votes. Steph/Westbrook's starting spot would have been affected by that. They dont care as much if Kawhi, Raymond, or whatever get replaced by the rapist.

Anyways, that's putting it legally, like if the fans votes really meant something. I'm totally convinced the NBA runs a script in their voting interface/program to select the players they want to start/be in the AS Game. Just for the fact that you dont want the fans exclusively decide the outcome. You dont want to lose that control. Imagine that for whatever reason, joke mostly, fans voted for that Shaun Livingstone trash instead of Curry? Improbable, but could happen.

[ElNono]

Or incentivize it by discounting it by a quarter. Each proceed feeds a hungry Mexican child for a year.

wow, such an offensive and insensitive post... smh

[BatManu20]

Meh who gives a shit tbh. I'd almost rather the Spurs be disrespected, maybe it motivates them or puts a chip on their shoulder. This year's ASG is going to be a 5-hour Kobe Orgy anyways so I'll probably only watch the actual game itself.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

I haven't watched an all star game in years. It's bad basketball that emphasizes the fast break and dunk.

[DarrinS]

I haven't watched an all star game in years. It's bad basketball that emphasizes the fast break and dunk.

This. And ZERO defense.

[cjw]

This. And ZERO defense.

A close game down stretch with Curry-Westbrook-Kawhi-Durant-Green and Irving-Butler-Lebron-George-Melo down the stretch could get competitive.

I still think the ASG would be better if they did something like the NHL for one year and had six, 5-man squads and played in a 3-on-3 tournament. Round robin five minute games = 25 minutes per team, and 15 games in total during the round robin = 75 minutes of game play. Could span the entire Saturday afternoon and then have Dunk Contest / 3pt at night.

Top four teams move on to Sunday for semis and finals that are 10 minutes each.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

wow, such an offensive and insensitive post... smh

It's a joke
