He's not that far behind Yao. He's closer than I would have guessed.

Yao Ming (Hou) 1,077,244

Tim Duncan (SA) 1,049,641

It would probably be inversed if Duncan was Forward on the paper ballots.

Some of these votings are ed up IMO.
Scola??
McGrady over Nash?
Carmela with so many votes?
Dampier over Kaman???

That's why I figured nobody from the Spurs would make the team. Mark Cuban will get his employees voting on multiple computers and clearing their cookies now. The Mavs will surge, just watch.

The All-Star game is half popularity contest, half merit based

I'm happy to see Timmy at the top. The schools I work at are in a contest and combined both schools turned in over 30,000 ballots with all votes for the Spurs!

[Spurminator]

My guess is that Yao's votes are more adversely affected by Duncan's position on the paper ballots than Duncan's. Remember the paper ballots are distributed here, not China.

Damn! I thought Yao with the billion in support of him would get the most votes!

Damn! I thought Yao with the billion in support of him would get the most votes!

how many of those billions have internet access anyway? of those numbers, how many are basketball fans? judging by the numbers, probably around 20,000 if they each vote for yao once a day.

[spurscenter]

Kaman in last place is a travesty

Im shocked. actually. he is playing so good.

yehey

I'm so happy Tim Duncan finally gets the respect he deserves. There's no way those pretenders can start ahead of him in the ASG.

I hope Manu/TP make the line-up too.

You owe me Timmy. I am responsible for the extra 1000 of those votes.

YAY for Timmy in the first place...the way it should be...

I'm also hoping that both Manu and Tony make the All Stars too...they have a ton of compe ion though...so it's kinda unlikely for them to make it...but you never know...

By the way, what date is the deadline for the coaches to select the players? Sometime in early February?
