and if that weren’t bad enough, we can blame China as well for the budget shortfall in California and for the Raiders and Warriors for being such a terrible franchise in recent years.

Honestly, if people have a problem with the voting process, they should blame comissioner Stern and the rest of the NBA higher-ups (in ca-hoots with global business) for expanding their enterprise into all parts of the globe. The NBA spends tons of money a year sending players as “ambassadors.” You think the NBA and its players do it philanthropically? Obviously there are economic motives behind what the NBA is doing and getting more fans across the global — whether that be watching it on TV or voting for who gets to participate in the all-star game — is part of that process of massive global economic accumulation for the NBA.

So really, isn’t it the process by which the NBA has set up already the problem? And it’s not as if “Americans” vote any more judiciously…like when AC Green and Horace Grant were starters? I mean, really? My alternative would be that players nominated should have played a minimum # of games played during the season.
