2nd Returns for All-Star voting (west only)

[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.

...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.

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

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.

Mic e Beadle helping the cause. 340 RTs in 10mins.

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

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

[Sean Cagney]

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

Probably around the last time I watched it.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

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...

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

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.

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.

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

Sorry didn't see your post. So I agree 100% wtf

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.

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

[BatManu20]

Meh who gives a 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.

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 compe ive.

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.

It's a joke

[quentin_compson]

The Zaza thing is really bizarre.
