    Crazy! Doncic? Rose?

    Harden is in 8th place in the West in VOTES. Madness! Shows you how the "online narratives" permeate the voting base.

    Vince Carter is in the top 10, fan voting is silly.

    I think a lot of guys know how great JH is but they dislike him and want to do the opposite.

    They are the rebel voters.

    Let's face it, the Beard won't ever be popular among the casual NBA fans.

    BTW Dwyane Wade 2nd among Guards in the EC!

    MVP gonna lose an All Star stating spot to the "Legend of Derrick Rose." Amazing.

    Rose stans are undefeated!

    Maybe they should end fan voting.

    Boogie hasn't played a single game and has 93k votes. D Rose, Lin, VC...ugh. Even Doncic is great but not 2nd best frontcourt player great?

    Almost forgot D Wade in there too...

    If they can't find a way to prevent or minimize the troll votes it's pointless.

    If a media source isn't objective ignore them period. It's the only way they will slowly disappear but meanwhile don't give them the satisfaction. Just support Harden and your team even more.

    I am glad NBA changed the all star voting rule to not solely based on fans' voting.

    Otherwise, Rose getting into the starting lineup instead of Harden will be a joke.

    at the end of the day the whole nba all star thing is for the fans, so if thats what fans want to see, based on the numbers its hard to say otherwise. regardless the other deciding factors such as coaching and players choices weigh out the process anyway. Fan voting has always been controversial. this isnt any different

    Yes, but 50/25/25, and ties go to Fans. Recall, 2yrs ago when Curry, Harden, WB tied, but WB lost the three-way tie to fan voting.

    Fans:
    Curry
    Harden
    WB

    Media:
    WB
    Harden
    Curry

    Players:
    WB
    Harden
    Curry

    each scoring a 2.0, but WB loses tiebreaker
