Default Re: why are we already choosing the nba all-star game?

on the side note about yi.. i would be a little embarrassed to see yi voted in just because of the chinese vote. i'm glad he wasn't put on.

Yeah...the Chinese can/will vote any anyone they want if they're on the ballot. Yao will be the starting C in the West for the next 10 years unless a better Chinese C hits the Western Conference. There's nothing wrong with their voting power...but the NBA will probably want to go away from the "all votes are equal" to give a greater emphasis to in-stadium voting - at least if they want to diminish the overwhelming power of the Chinese online voters.
