Was posting on another forum and this was just posted. How Shaq still gets voted on is beyond me, but its good to see Gilbert Arenas get the vote over Vince Carter.

Popularity contest man...nothing more, nothing less!

Its really ridiculous though. Steve Nash isnt in the starting 5. He's having arguably his best season yet and he doesn't get voted on...and then Dirk gets snubbed. They really need to stop letting the fans vote on this and leave it to the coaches or the media. It was a good move to stop the internet voting now hopefully next year they stop fan voting all together.

I think they might be announcing the Dunk Contest participants tonight so I'll keep an eye out for that.

When did they stop the internet voting?

You could vote once a day on nba.com this year...

Maybe they changed it to once a day and thats what they were talking about on the radio. They mentioned something about Yao Ming and how its entirely unfair and the NBA was doing something to change it.

I have heard that many of Yao's votes are actually paper ballots. I think some teams do a better job of getting their fans to vote, and the Rockets may just be the best. I know when I go to games in Portland early in the season I rarely get handed a ballot, and If I do nobody comes and picks it up.

I really think Yao's votes are mainly coming from China...you know he's getting TONS of internet votes from there.
