I was a bit skeptical, yet the numbers work. But why? Why all of a sudden this year, especially when Bowen hasnt been starting or playing heavy minutes?
Yeah, they just love the Spurs and all the revenue they bring in. All that money we lose going over the luxury tax helps out the other teams in the L as well. Overall, you'd have to say all 4 of our championships were won playing 5 v 8, the refs being in our pocket of course.

I voted for Bowen every time..
there wasn't an alternative for me..
Dirk has become underrated, but he's a choker, so he loses my respect..Amare is a soft, selfish, piece of ..Carmelo endangers lives with his drunk driving, and he also slaps people and runs away..
OK, I bet it was a ST member who hacked the system..
I didn't even vote for him and I'm a Spurs fan
Hahaha you are either joking or a complete moron
That actually might very well be the case, there's a lot of fans from chinawho happen to love the spurs. On top of that, one of the reasons I think bruce bowen got so many votes is because when I loggedon to vote for the all-star game, I saw bruce bowen's name at the near top of the list for forwards. It was weird seeing his name there out of nowhere, but nevertheless I voted for him. GO BRUCE!I seriously think China recognizes game and they voted TP, Manu, Bowen, Duncan and Yao.
If Amare get injured , that means Bowen would start in All-Star game ? Should coach Jackson call him to play ?
Hilarious situation
argentinians love bowen
Bowen so good this year he unleashed his long kept secret cross over jutsu on Granger.
I regret not voting to BOWEN now.I am chinese.As I know,many chinese spursfans didn't vote this year including myself.Because we know Tim will attend this game with no doubt.
I am pretty sure that the Voting this year was rigged... first off, no way did Chris Paul end up beating Mcgrady in votes, he was 200k votes behind Paul at the time of the last returns.
The only thing I can think of, is maybe the Yao and Mcgrady feud pushed China to vote for Paul.
Do the Spurs still bring in "groups" just to punch out ballots for them? I know they used to. It is part of why I always thought it so two-faced to act as if they did not care about All-Star games.
I'm guessing that a bunch of Spurs fans just voted all Spurs guys. It is extremely weird. I kept checking the ticker at the bottom of the sports channels to make sure I wasn't going blind. That's insane. I've never voted for Bowen. , I've never voted for Manu either.
Maybe Bruce Bowen is Chinese for Lebron James?
so awesome.
Just noticed Manu got more votes than Amare...
theres alot of spurs fans in the world
wow he got 1.3 million votes
Funny that you never brought this point up when candy-ass Rasho and Beno were on the Spurs.
one of the great mysterious of this generation.
There are a lot of weird things about the ballot results. The amount of votes Bowen received is not that strange by comparison. Bowen was voted behind Duncan, Anthony, Stoudemire, Artest, Nowitzki & Gasol, but in front of Battier, Scola, Howard & Aldridge. Maybe a little strange, but not that far fetched.
Dwight Howard got more vote than Kobe or LeBron, which is infinitely more interesting.
Of course, Howard didn't have much compe ion at his position in the east.
I think that a huge swing in international voting would account for the amount of votes that Ginobili & Parker received, but they are actually better than everyone they were voted ahead of.
There are a lot of people in China and Yao is probably the best center in the west, but
Jianlian should not have even been on the ballot. Third best forward in the east? That is ridiculous. C'mon China! Jianlian is beter than Pierce? Bosh? Anybody else on the ballot? I don't think so.
Allen Iverson is great, but he doesn't deserve to start. Not this year. Devin Harris got robbed. Joe Johnson & Jameer Nelson were last? Criminal.
Samuel Dalembert only beat Rasheed Wallace by less than 2k votes, but seriously, how does that happen?
And how did Greg Oden get more votes than Chandler, Jefferson & Camby. Is anyone paying attention?
I thing they´d rather to vote in Parker/Manu.
Bowen was voted in front of everyone in the first half of your sentence barring Stoudemore, as well as the others. That's what so crazy.
Bowen also beat Tony Parker, Steve Nash, Brandon Roy, and Andrew Bynum in total votes to name a few in the West. Just for fun, out East he also beat Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, and Devin Harris, along with every center but Dwight Howard by miles.
I always vote a straight Spurs ticket. Every year, without exception. Except I never voted in Rasho.
did the chinese fans thought bruce bowen is ryan bowen? lmao
