Explain to me....Shaq and All star break

[CarmeloNumeroUno]

:dont How does he miss like 3/4 of the season then always despite injury and not playing get the start over someone like Eddy Curry or Dwight Howard who worked their asses off and carry their teams not ride coatails. Sounds like some fans is lost. :soapbox:

[Billy Shears]

It's probably because a ton of the people who vote aren't true fans of the game, and just kind of know who Shaq is. You know?

[himat]

I would of voted for Shaq over for Curry, but I voted for Howard on the fan ballot over the rest of the centers. He deserved it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

it is the same reason why ppl vote for yao, kg, tmac, kobe

its because ppl know there names and shit, star power

[z0sa]

its a popularity contest

[TheSanityAnnex]

Have you seen Shaqs dance moves? Enough said.

[confined]

yeah everyone stop voting for shaq and yao...they didnt/dont deserve it

[koopa]

yao get it because he has a whole fucking country voting for him, and houston. he never actually deserves to start but unless we take the voting rights away from china yao will be starting every year even if he avg. 2 points a game and is on the inactive list for all by 10 games

It boils down to this, Shaq is on TNT and ESPN close to 30 games per year Howard has been on TNT and ESPN maybe for 2 games this season. But yes Howard deserved to be the starter.

[BUMP]

Shaq is still unstoppable if you let him catch it on the block, plus he makes the all star game more entertaining by his shenanigans and such. he probly shouldnt start, but he is still good enough to be there

[resistanze]

And Yao deserved to be there, dunno what the fuck y'all been watching this past year.

[AZLouis]

Plus it's a fan vote. Deserves has nothing to do with it.
