All Star Selection Criteria

Are Chinesse population is US so big?? or Houston is big enough??

Well Houston is the 4th largest US city population-wise, so that plays into it too.

I know this has been mentioned before, and I agree with it: The All-Star game should be USA vs. International.

In LNB (ARG's National BBall League) is in that way, not sure in another countries.

Dirk, Gasol, TP, Nash, Manu would be fantastic
Yao, Gasol, AK-47, Peja, Nash not too bad

The only question is who USA will select... I hope the STARS USA sent to WC 2002

I know this has been mentioned before, and I agree with it: The All-Star game should be USA vs. International. That would be way more entertaining than the east vs. west.

The international team would have all of these guys:
Dirk
Nash
Manu
TP
AK-47
Gasol
Peja
Yao

not a bad team.

Yes, i would pay for watching a game like this, i think if this game would exist people from all over the world would be waiting to watch it. Nevertheless, THE NBA is risking to be defeated for international players what could be something terrible for STERN , people from other countries wouldnt want to watch the nba and well you know all the rest.

As far as ballots are concerned... I had a friend that worked for a certain west coast team, and they would do ballot stuffing (physical ballots) as part of their job. Apparently all teams do this.

Besides, Yao is very much the best center in the West. Sad but true. Who else, Marcus "Broken" Camby or Brad Miller?

Sorry, but Yao isn't the best center in the West, and yes Camby and Miller are both more deserving than him.

Actually Houston has very large Asian population. I'd say alot of the votes are by Asian Ameicans as well, not just Chinese.
