I wanted to make this thread to be a place were we could not only discuss the cluster f**k that is fan voting, but also discuss all star weekend when the time is right. It seems each respective player's thread, or team thread, has the chart below and some discussion on the topic.
So far after the 1st returns we have the following count.
LBJ is obviously a given for starting. In fact, I would say the same about Kyrie as well given his early lead and the flash involved in his game. Now I cant recall the exact percentage, but this year players & media will have a factor in the voting as well. So lets try and do our part for KLove as well.
When voting just know that you can actually vote 10 times a day on NBA.com. So if you are voting, take an extra 5-10 minutes and vote for our guys multiple times. With LBJ & Greak Freak being locks for the starters I would have to imagine, the remaining votes would be hard to come by given the disdain people have for LBJ led teams. Even if Klove deserves a spot on the team, and starter IMO, you will see the large market effect supporting the next four players in the standings (Melo, Embiid, Kristaps, Butler). I suspect a divide in NY, which is why you see a split between Melo & Kristaps. Hopefully we do our part to keep Melo out. He hasnt deserved it for years, but would get in because he was a Knick and NY has one of the dumbest fanbases known to man.
Taking a look at the numbers the past few years, as I said prior, both Kyrie & LBJ would be safe bets. KLove with his 250k is probably 40% there to what his final vote needs to be. We did it for the Indians in the 90s, lets do it for Klove in 2016...STUFF THE BALLOT BOXES!! You can vote via the app, the web page or via social media. Just know that on social media you can only use one hashtag per tweet or post. So idiots who are posting this "#Curry, #Durant, #Green, #Thompson", are not being counted.
So do your part...for Kevin. Just make sure you dont use your other votes on guys right behind him.
On the other side, the usual names are all there and I doubt any of us really care. The one piece of voting that really stands out is Zaza Pachulia is 2nd in WC front court players. As we saw last year, his entire country has nothing better to do than vote him in. If we see this happen, expect the rest of the international NBA fanbases to take notice. I dont know if they can keep it up, but he is more than half way to securing a spot if they do. It will be interesting to see unfold. I personally find it hilarious, but I know the media will shit all over him if in fact he does win. Instead of focusing their anger on the system in place.
Voting ends Jan 16th.
