      I’ll be honest — the fact that Slamonline’s WordPress page is currently sixth among Western Conference centers is a bit of a surprise.

    • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.11 at 1:57 pm
      You’re welcome for that.

    • Ryne Nelson Posted: Dec.11 at 1:57 pm
      SLAMonline on the come up!

    • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.11 at 1:58 pm
      Also: “Yi” for effort, huh?

    • namik Posted: Dec.11 at 1:58 pm
      Dwight??? Really? Those Chinese trips are really paying off right now…

    • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.11 at 1:58 pm
      Dude, you totally killed the awesomeness of the lead comment. Please put that back…

    • Myles Brown Posted: Dec.11 at 1:59 pm
      How many times did you vote for Bron?

    • TS Posted: Dec.11 at 2:01 pm
      D Harris should be before vince and A.I….then again wuts an all-star game w/o those two

    • TS Posted: Dec.11 at 2:01 pm

    • Jackie Moon Posted: Dec.11 at 2:01 pm
      I was confused by Ryan’s comments, until 1:58pm

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 2:02 pm
      Forget Deron, where’s Devin? Fan voting is a joke and it always has been.

    • Jackie Moon Posted: Dec.11 at 2:02 pm
      Also I have a theory that Kobe is being helped by the Chinese vote, even more than Yi.

    • Todd Spehr Posted: Dec.11 at 2:04 pm
      Billups ninth amongst West guards? Educated folks…

    • Jackie Moon Posted: Dec.11 at 2:08 pm
      T-Mac???? Isn’t he at Camp Chen-a-Wanda?

    • daanswer Posted: Dec.11 at 2:08 pm
      The All Star votes are about popularity- Devin Harris is good, but he will NEVER EVER be better, or more popular than Iverson…….stop the crack smoking.

    • JackBrown Posted: Dec.11 at 2:09 pm
      Brandon Roy 10th….this stupidity is killin me inside.

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 2:12 pm
      Never be better? If I were the Pistons, I would trade AI for Devin straight up without even stopping to think about it.

    • Sean Gaudet Posted: Dec.11 at 2:12 pm
      The NBA needs to scrap the fan voting. Brandon Roy 10th!
      Devin Harris not even in the top 5!
      Yi has more votes than Bosh!

    • Ryne Nelson Posted: Dec.11 at 2:12 pm
      SMH at Devin Harris, Al Jefferson, Deron Williams, Brandon Roy and…D.J. Augustin.

    • ber Posted: Dec.11 at 2:12 pm
      Why is Vince Carter still popular?

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 2:14 pm
      And I know the All-Star votes are about popularity—that’s why the whole thing is so awful. Because the coaches pick the reserves based on merit, and then the whole “x-time All-Star” becomes this huge thing even though all it really means is that stupid people like you.

    • Static Posted: Dec.11 at 2:16 pm
      And all this time I thought to be in the All-Star game you had to actually be playing like an ALL-STAR for that season…then based on popularity, why isn’t Agent Zero a shoe-in for at least a bench spot? A little birdie said he’d be back by then

    • Diesel Posted: Dec.11 at 2:16 pm
      Vince Carter shouldn’t be in the league anymore let alone in the allstar race. And if the asian population somehow votes Yi a starter I will no longer watch basketball.

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 2:17 pm
      Deron Williams has missed over half of Utah’s games; he doesn’t deserve to be in the Western mix right now.

    • Mr. 416 Posted: Dec.11 at 2:17 pm
      VC votes for himself…..bastid

    • Static Posted: Dec.11 at 2:20 pm
      Greg Oden…but no Derrick Rose…W…T…F…?

    • Ron Posted: Dec.11 at 2:26 pm
      I am a fan, and as a fan who really appreciates the game I do not vote for the all star starters. It’s a sham and the fact that Yi has more votes than Bosh, and Devin Harris is not at least 3rd on the list of east guards makes my stomach ache.

    • Diesel Posted: Dec.11 at 2:29 pm
      Jose Calderon over Rose? Por que?

    • Fresh Posted: Dec.11 at 2:30 pm
      calderon has too many votes iverson needs more…yi over bosh come on canada you can do better.
      center should be
      dwight dwight dwight rasheed horford and howard
      that guard list is pretty deep but where the hell is Deron williams
      nash should take his name off the ballet altogether give the yougn guys a chance along with shaq
      west forwards are the only thing i like but where is Gay

    • B. Long Posted: Dec.11 at 2:33 pm
      Hol-YI sh!t.

    • bakers' dozen Posted: Dec.11 at 2:41 pm
      Why does Greg Oden have more votes than Nene?

    • vmcb Posted: Dec.11 at 2:43 pm
      damn you, fans. damn you.

    • BETCATS Posted: Dec.11 at 2:49 pm
      my 3 votes for Gerald Wallace still have not caused a dent.

    • Ryne Nelson Posted: Dec.11 at 2:50 pm
      I enjoy All-Star because it’s about popularity. I’d rather see a show than watch Paul Pierce, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Peja Stojakovic.

    • BETCATS Posted: Dec.11 at 2:54 pm
      Ryne is currently sippin on some syrup. A ASG Game without Paul Pierce? Bad joke central.

    • BETCATS Posted: Dec.11 at 2:55 pm
      Dwight has more ASG votes than Yao. China has spoken

    • the big ticket Posted: Dec.11 at 2:57 pm
      i think china shouldnt vote ther asg isnt even in ther country and all the chinesse players get in it

    • MTLien Posted: Dec.11 at 3:00 pm
      Yi > Bosh = Major flaw in the system

    • the baconator Posted: Dec.11 at 3:02 pm
      How could Dalembeast get so many votes? He’s only averaging 6ppg and 8rpg, clearly not all-star numbers. I’m not hatin on him, but I think David Lee, who is technically a forward but plays center, deserves those votes. You can’t really argue with 14ppg and 10rpg.

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 3:15 pm
      If you have no probem with it being about popularity, then you shouldn’t be wondering where Devin and Deron and D.J. freaking Augustin are. Most casual NBA fans probably don’t even know who D.J. Augustin is.

    • From out of Nowhere Posted: Dec.11 at 3:22 pm
      It’s sad that Jason Terry has more votes than Brandon Roy (and Chauncey Billups, for that matter). Oh well, Roy should have a pretty good shot at getting in as a reserve again. Also, how many of the people who voted for Tracy McGrady actually keep up on the NBA? As for Deron, he’s still in a post-injury slump. I’d even pick McGrady over him.

    • From out of Nowhere Posted: Dec.11 at 3:23 pm
      Correction: at this point, I’d even pick McGrady over Deron.

    • BETCATS Posted: Dec.11 at 3:23 pm
      Russ raises a good point. But i will address them. ‘DJ freaking Augusin’ (as Mr. Bengtson calls him) is commonly known as Jesus Christ.

    • ciolkstar Posted: Dec.11 at 3:26 pm
      Hey Ryne I just dropped Steve Blake’s punkass to pickup your boy DJ Augustin. He has been putting up elite numbers when he gets 30+ minutes. Excited about him getting to match up with Barea or J Kidd tonight.

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 3:27 pm
      You’re a (the?) Bobcats fan, you don’t count. I consider myself to be a fairly knowledgable NBA fan, and I’ve never seen DJ play. Ever.

    • ciolkstar Posted: Dec.11 at 3:30 pm
      These ASG numbers are total garbage. If I’m Yi, I’d be embarassed to start over Bosh.

    • ciolkstar Posted: Dec.11 at 3:35 pm
      I watched DJ (a lot) at UT. He’s undersized but very quick has excellent handles and has a super midrange game. I’ve been surprised by the number of 3s he’s shooting as well as his accuracy there. He does have a tendency to overdribble, but he’s a capable distributor and does a good job getting into the lane. Really, his only flaws are size, strength and ohysicality as a defender. Still, I was surprised he went so high in the draft and even more surprised at how league-ready he’s been up to this point.

    • AD25 Posted: Dec.11 at 3:35 pm
      It’s all just name recognition. VC is still riding on his 2000 dunk contest performance because that’s all the casual fans know about him. These are the same people who, when you ask them to name an all-time great rapper, will say “Sir Mix-A-Lot.”

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 3:39 pm
      Well, they’s be right about Sir Mix-A-Lot. Swass!

    • VOTE ALL STAR Posted: Dec.11 at 3:47 pm
      http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=42573942002 VOTE STEPHON MARBURY INTO THE ALL STAR GAME YES WE CAN

    • witness Posted: Dec.11 at 3:47 pm
      why doesnt derrick rose have more votes? and why is mcgrady 3rd in the guard column?

    • witness Posted: Dec.11 at 3:49 pm
      i think yi will surpass kg. im gonna vote for him. and a bunch of other players i never vite for.

    • witness Posted: Dec.11 at 3:51 pm
      jason terry over brandon roy?

    • The Stro Show Posted: Dec.11 at 3:51 pm
      There should be a skill testing basketball question before your allowed to vote…and it should only be available in english. That would fix everything.

    • Michael NZ Posted: Dec.11 at 3:52 pm
      Dalembert?! Should he even be on the ballot? I know AI will get voted in, and it would just be weird if he wasn’t there BUT as of now I don’t think he should be on the East squad. And if Yi makes it then I’m boycotting the ASG. Can the fans vote to get rid of the fan vote?
      Also, I’m voting for Shag this year.

    • riggs Posted: Dec.11 at 3:54 pm
      vince still has fans?

    • jrp14 Posted: Dec.11 at 3:54 pm
      As a blazer fan I dont really care if the fans dont vote for roy, because the coaches will. And Lamarcus time just hasnt come yet, soon though

    • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.11 at 4:01 pm
      I’m casting 50,000 votes for Gabe Muoneke to start in the CBA All-Star game. (Not the CBA Isiah Thomas ruined, the other one.)

    • wizkid Posted: Dec.11 at 4:02 pm
      WHERE IS CARON BUTLER!?!?!?!?!?!?

    • Michael NZ Posted: Dec.11 at 4:02 pm
      Only 50,000? That would take, like, a week. Totally worth it though.

    • Michael NZ Posted: Dec.11 at 4:04 pm
      Opps @ 3.52pn Shag = Shaq. Ha.

    • Bostwik Posted: Dec.11 at 4:08 pm
      I wasted a vote on Michael Beasley. :(

    • EC Posted: Dec.11 at 4:18 pm
      Wheres Marbury? what about Kwame Brown? this All-star voting is a joke!!

    • Finest Hour Posted: Dec.11 at 4:27 pm
      WoW this is the biggest B.S line-ups.
      No Devin Harris and Yi Jianlian comes out of someone’s ass. And wasn’t Ginobili injured for like a month and chancy should be above kidd and McGrady.

    • Jess Posted: Dec.11 at 4:28 pm
      YI….WHAT THE F*CK…I know that CB4 wont get teh start with KG and LBJ…but I mean theres no way that he should be 3rd…that is ridiculous…and where is Deron Williams? And Vince 3rd…really? come on now people..give you heads a shake….as expected these results are terrible and ridiculous

    • Jess Posted: Dec.11 at 4:28 pm
      SHOULDNT*** be 3rd

    • Josh D Posted: Dec.11 at 4:29 pm
      Whats KG doing there,sure,he is a great player but look at his numbers compared to CB4

    • Co Co Posted: Dec.11 at 4:34 pm
      If Eazy Yi doesn’t get to start I’m going to be very disappointed in China.

    • Bruno Posted: Dec.11 at 4:35 pm
      you think the league is going great but then, you see something like that…
      you see who is getting voted and it reminds me SO MUCH of kenny anderson, dc and bj armstrong as all-star game starters…

    • Michael NZ Posted: Dec.11 at 4:35 pm
      @ Josh D: wroooong answer. KG>Bosh by a long way. Don’t base EVERYTHING by the numbers. Except for maybe the win column.

    • ciroqobama Posted: Dec.11 at 4:43 pm
      This allstar game needs to get Rondo’d

    • Pro Posted: Dec.11 at 4:45 pm
      Can Devin Harris get some love?
      Dude has been balllling this year

    • Miguel Ferreira Posted: Dec.11 at 4:49 pm
      WADE! awesome finally th flash is rising again!

    • RV Posted: Dec.11 at 4:52 pm
      Kidd deserves some love too, he continues to put up very good numbers at his age, he should be above Tmac.

    • RV Posted: Dec.11 at 4:53 pm
      and y’all are going about this the wrong way. We NEED to vote for Yi. Maybe then they’ll change up the voting process.

    • jaymes Posted: Dec.11 at 4:55 pm
      Pro, hopefully the coaches have noticed too and put him on the bench.

    • Boing Dynasty Posted: Dec.11 at 5:00 pm
      Yi over Bosh? sure why not?

    • Anton Posted: Dec.11 at 5:05 pm
      Think people voted Oden just to laugh at him in person

    • Moose Posted: Dec.11 at 5:15 pm
      Yi with 100,000 more votes than Bosh! Well, 11 points and 6 boards will get you there. Pretty hard to beat.

    • Amanda Posted: Dec.11 at 5:33 pm
      Eat that Amare!
      and wow I wonder how many people quit their jobs in order to commit themselves to voting EVRYDAY for Kobe. That’s the only logical reasoning I can come up with.

    • slamfan4life Posted: Dec.11 at 5:42 pm
      WTF, WHAT HAPPENED TO D-ROSE

    • cj Posted: Dec.11 at 5:42 pm
      Eazy Yi saved basketball

    • Anton Posted: Dec.11 at 5:49 pm
      Moose, to be fair I’m sure 100,000 asians voted for Yi 3 times

    • rav Posted: Dec.11 at 5:51 pm
      how to fix this problem - only allow online votes to count 1/3, votes at arenas 1/3 and experts 1/3 and then we’ll have some credibility and the possibility of yi getting voted ahead of lebron

    • Moose Posted: Dec.11 at 6:00 pm
      Anton, I know it. I just like playing with that fact. :)

    • Anton Posted: Dec.11 at 6:03 pm
      Totally. I mean how else does Yao get half a million votes? Because he’s the most dominating center in the west? lol

    • Hursty Posted: Dec.11 at 6:05 pm
      I dont mind those starting line-ups. Yi and Tmac probably shouldn’t be so high. Does KG really deserve a starting spot based on his performances this year? What about Iverson? Wade, Iverson, LeBron, KG, Dwight.
      vs.
      Kobe,Paul, Amare, Duncan, Yao.

    • bakers' dozen Posted: Dec.11 at 6:06 pm
      apart from Dwight Howard, which center is currently playing better than nene? Crazy stuff…Brian Shaw should get a start.
      Actually, let’s vote for Sun Yue to get the start from the DLeague.

    • Anton Posted: Dec.11 at 6:08 pm
      Got $150 riding on the East to win

    • Ganchan Posted: Dec.11 at 6:08 pm
      ok where do we vote for the allstars I think everyone and their sisters,brothers,aunts,uncles should vote for bosh asap…Yi would be a damn joke.

    • Anonymous Posted: Dec.11 at 6:09 pm
      The system is flawed.

    • ciolkstar Posted: Dec.11 at 6:16 pm
      @ Amanda quiting your job to “vote” for Kobe isn’t exactly logical.

    • the baconator Posted: Dec.11 at 6:17 pm
      Sam getting more votes than ‘Sheed? That hardly seems Dalem-fair!

    • Dutch Rob Posted: Dec.11 at 6:20 pm
      They should just block china from voting. Come on really?Yoa is ok but Yi 3rd over Bosh and the Truth ->4th and 5th this is a joke!!. My teams: East:Howard, LBJ,Garnett,Bosh, Pierce, A.I,D-Wade, Harris
      West: Duncan , Amare, Kobe, CP3, Carmelo, Billups, Shaq, Roy and Yoa (i can live with Yoa but NOT Yi!)

    • Drew Posted: Dec.11 at 6:21 pm
      The league prints the ballots too early, so people who emerge as good players are shut out, except for write ins. That is what happened to Nene. I don’t know if Harris is on the ballot, but I doubt it.
      I disagree with a lot of people who base their votes simply on this year’s play. Since the game is played in the middle of the season, the second half of last year should be considered. The question is who is a better player, not who has had a better couple months. So I would vote Garnett in, even if others have been better than him over the last few weeks.

    • s.e.a.n Posted: Dec.11 at 6:36 pm
      I agree with Charles Barkley, fan voting is a f!cking joke

    • jdneo Posted: Dec.11 at 6:43 pm

      how bout we all team together and vote for Marbury as much as possible

      I’m in on the STarbury love.

    • Funkdoc Posted: Dec.11 at 7:35 pm
      Danny Granger? Joe Johnson? This is ridiculous. I voted for Devin and Granger, just for the fact that if I wouldn’t, nobody would. If the fans choose the lineup for 100%, then I think we’ll see Sun Yue at the starting PG. They even would put in Wang Zhizhi in it, offer him a 10-day contract. damn, there’s too many chinese

    • Jack Posted: Dec.11 at 9:24 pm
      Man this ish is pathetic… I mean Yi Jianlian above CB4?! F**kin Chinese. Open your damn eyes you racist motherf**ckers! Oh wait, they’re too small to see out of.

    • jub_al Posted: Dec.12 at 12:59 am
      Hey Jack(a$$):
      Don’t hate the player, hate the game… the nba asg voting system has always been a gong-show and it will continue to be a gong-show…it could be any other undeserving player up there on that ballot, it wouldn’t and shouldn’t change how we look at the player… but if you’re gonna open up the ballot like that and turn it into a popularity contest, well then hell yea, we, the Chinese are gonna vote for him… why? because he represents our people… is it because we think Yi’s the better freaking player? NO, is it because we’re racist? where the F*CK did you derive that from you dim-wit? IT’S BECAUSE WE CAN, and that is not OUR problem…and how dare you suggest that we’re racist after your pathetic comment? i don’t even know why i’m even wasting my time replying to this…

    • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Dec.12 at 1:16 am

    • Dutch Rob Posted: Dec.12 at 4:51 am
      Dont be a rascist jack but i gotta say the voting system sucks! They should just let the coaches decide based on how good the player is.
      But i’m really pissed if Yi is gonna start over KG or Bosh

    • starbury&stevey Posted: Dec.12 at 10:25 am
      i have already voted on Starbury and Gerald twice!!!come on !!!WE CAN MAKE IT TOGETHER!!!!…if someone can translate it in chineese-mandarine´s were able to get even more votes..STARBURY!!!

    • Myung Posted: Dec.12 at 10:54 am
      When it comes to All Star votes in any sport (where fans decide it), all you hear is the same thing year after year. “X got more votes than Y? The system sucks.” And…how long have people been complaining about the system now? And do we see change coming any time soon? It’s all the same thing every single year, isn’t it? Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

    • Myung Posted: Dec.12 at 10:55 am
      I think Yi getting that many votes is ridiculous, but I’m OK without the racist comments, folks. If you don’t like the system, tell David Stern instead of focusing your ire on Asians.

      t-mac, manu ginobili, jason kidd, and jason terry ahead of chauncey billups and brandon roy! i lose more and more faith in fan voting every year.

    • Bebo Posted: Dec.12 at 1:43 pm
      T-mac been my favorite player since he was a rookie but i didnt vote 4 him once this year!!!! Man der gonna have 2 go bak 2 players n coaches voting 4 da starters n reserves if dis keeps happenin!
      East starters
      Joe Johnson, D-Wade, Bron, KG or Bosh, Dwight
      West starters
      kobe, CP3, melo, amare, yao

    • Quail Posted: Dec.12 at 1:48 pm
      i dont think rookies or sophomores should be allowed to be all stars… they have their own seperate game. once they get into their 3rd year, thats when they should be allowed into the ASG.

    • Anton Posted: Dec.12 at 2:13 pm
      I’m gonna write in Luke Walton’s stalker - could be mean on those offensive boards.

      @all those people who blaming asians for voting for Yi, remember, china isn`t the only country in the continent, in other words blame the chinese dudes.

    • dubya816 Posted: Dec.12 at 9:06 pm
      Ok west conference guard selection sucks. T-Mac is no all star neither is J Kidd or Terry or Manu. WHERE IS DERON!!!!!!!

    • Sam Mitchell's Conscience Posted: Dec.12 at 11:50 pm
      Please let Yi get voted in as a starter! It would be incredible, and give me a reason to watch the ASG game this year. Can you imagine Charles’s comments if this were to happen!?

    • DruWil Posted: Dec.13 at 1:48 am
      For God’s sake, Devin Harris better make it to the all star team

    • DruWil Posted: Dec.13 at 1:50 am
      Hey Dubya, Deron is injured for most of the first half of the season and if you don’t think Jason Terry is more deserving than Deron, you’r an idiot.

      If Yi gets in as a starter it WILL be the only way he makes the game…coaches aren’t picking that guy. Has Deron even played a game yet…?
      O_o
      I’m just sad about the state of Phoenix right now…. moving D’Antoni was like starving the lungs of the PHX organisation….

      Vince tonight: 3pts 0-13, dunked on by Joey Graham.

      1 billion people in China and Yi can’t even start?

      I read each comment and only have enough room to rebut a few: Static: DRose is a fine player in a position that has a lot of good players who are established. Oden is a Center in the West with less competition. Ryne: P Double is putting up numbers (again) on a team with 2 other guys who can score and as far as put’n on a show, did you watch the playoffs last year and the FINALS? nuff said. Why so much hate on Kobe, isn’t he still 1 of the best AND entertaining? Ray Allen needs more votes period. Has anyone out there watched a C’s game this year? (forget the playoff slump that he eventually shot out of by the way) He is killing guys now that he knows he still has the green light! PLUS he stole the show at last years ASG and could have won MVP if not for POPULARITY & league interests rearing it’s ugly mug. Russ: I too would take Dev for AI and I love AI…he’s younger and can run the point for Detroit plus score when needed. Chemistry. Peace fellas.

      PS..I wish we could vote for the dunk contest,, then again ppl would probably vote McGrady in so never mind. Rafer Alston deserves a bit of shine since so many of you are bringing up gaurds.

      devin harris should be an all-star
      this year

      Jason Kidd has more votes than Steve Nash, Brandon Roy, Tony Parker and Chauncey Billups. I think it would be hard to argue against the fact that every player below him is better than him! Does anyone think Nasjh will make the team because it’s in Phoenix? But knowing how crazy Steve Kerr is with trading away almost essential Suns players, he’ll be gone by the game. Jason Richardson was a good pickup though, just don’t know why they had to get rid of Boris Diaw AND Raja Bell.

      the chinese vote is scary dude, seriously. One day they’ll put a chinese player in the ASG who’s not even in the league.

    • soharlem137 Posted: Dec.15 at 5:18 pm
      I swear some of y’all kill me. I seriously don’t know how people continue to knock Vince Carter. The dude averages 22pts for crying out loud. You honestly don’t know basketball if you don’t consider him a top 10 player in the league. Now I’m with some of y’all as far as the Yi situation goes. He doesn’t even belong in a skills challenge. It’s sad that Devin will not be voted in by fans, but that’s what coaches are there for and they’ll vote him in.

    • Crook Posted: Dec.15 at 10:11 pm
      Serious ? 4 u all. How many point gaurds in the East are playing better than Rondo night in and night out? He just put 25 pts 9 rbs and 8 assts on the Jazz and fouled D Williams out. Pierce should not have been in the game with 37 seconds left!!!

    • blazeup420 Posted: Dec.16 at 2:48 am
      B.ROY GREATEST EVER

    • Glen 'Big Baby' Davis Posted: Dec.17 at 9:15 am
      No votes for me? :( *Crying under towel that doesn’t really do much to hide my sensitive side*

    • Felixthecat Posted: Dec.22 at 12:41 pm
      NO DERON WILLIAMS!!!! LMAO!! probably the best point guard in the league!!!!

    • Felixthecat Posted: Dec.22 at 1:01 pm
      Votes should reflect back end on last season and Playoffs!! What are votes just for half a regular season??

    • Felixthecat Posted: Dec.22 at 1:03 pm
