ALL STAR 2014 #NBABallot Crazy Rules?

[wildchild]

I know guys. All Star's a lame game n' . However I allways voted por my Spurs boys, fan loyalty or something like that.

Tim, Tony, Manu and this year add Leonard and Splitter (Yeah KawhiNotAggressive and TiagoGirlPussy but are my Spurs and I'm a sentimental fool) but with the stupid Twitter NBA rules, I think many of my followers/friends/or SpursFans are voting invalidly. Is it so?

"To vote for the NBA All-Star Ballot via Twitter, voters must Tweet with #NBABallot, include the first and last name of the player that they want to see play in the All-Star game, and include an explanation for why they think this player should play"
"Retweets do not count as valid votes"

Without the explanation the vote is invalid like retweets?

#NBABallot Tim Duncan=not count as valid vote?
#NBABallot I want to see Tim Duncan play in the All-Star game bc he's my all-time favorite player! vote valid?

i'm sorry, but i dont' want to see tim duncan in an all star game this year. he needs to rest. these things should not matter to spurs fans anymore. let him stay home and rest. especially if popovich isn't the coach. brooks or rivers may try to play duncan for 30+ minutes. i know i would..

I think POp isn't allowed to coach this year per their rules

Well, I've been reading more in ASGame blogosphere and I was wrong. Thought NBA.com had changed the voting rules this year and did not.

Got it. My vote is symbolic/sentimental. Timmy won't get a chance to play ASG'14, IMO. This year the majority NBA fans 'll vote Dwight Howard, KD, Blake Griffin, Harden, Westbrook, Curry &(Splash bro), even Marc Gasol, Z-Bo, Kenneth Faried, over our guys. And maybe the coaches'll choose young and hyped with +/stats for the reserves.

That's stupid. It's hard to put it all with the 140 character limit

Damian Lillard, LaMarcus Aldridge.

You're right. But the example from the site works with 140 characters.


Chalmers "serious skills"

timmy won't be in the allstar game anyway his numbers are atrocious

[PlayNando]

Fans voting for the All-Star ballot is stupid. Casual fans are too stupid for this.

its hard to put in anything serious in less than 140 characters. Case in point, the example you shared.

Will something like "I like Reggie Jackson's haircut" count as an explantion?

And how do they exclude stuff like that?

[apalisoc_9]

This is acutally neat. Should dissalow those chinese s to vote tbbh

[siraulo23]

simple solution: dont vote via twitter

[DieMrBond]

From the looks of it, this is the year that Jeremy Lin gets in (which is RIDICULOUS) because he is getting a stupid amount of votes on Twitter.
