Yao over Shaq, at the allstar game.
"That's cool," O'Neal said. "Where he's from, there are 2 trillion people."

more proof of why all-star fan voting is somewhat retarded. sure, giving the fans a say is cool, but there is no way yao is the best big man in the west.

Yao is not the best big man in the West but Shaq is a handicap one.

I have this feeling that Shaq's recent injury turned some voters to vote for other players. |

well, freaking jamal mashburn and chris webber didn't deserve ANY votes, and they were both in the top 10 vote-getters for forwards in their respective conferences. now, THAT's retarded...
and how does baron davis rank 5th among east guards???? he's having a career year! sheesh...

(basically, it's funny to be making this argument here because earlier today i was debating the merits of direct democracy with a friend of mine -- he thinks it's generally good and i think it's generally bad, which caused him to say that i do not trust people. which is true. i'd prefer to have experts, in this case coaches and GMs, make the decision) |
