Blake One of the Top Vote Getters for the ASG 

Post#1 » by Quake Griffin » Fri Jan 2, 2015 1:50 am

Beyond crazy to me.
Seems like everybody I know hates him.

I'm in CA…I'm in WI…I'm on the forums. Seems like everybody is ready to tell me that they don't like him, he's a flopper and he's kind of overrated.

Maybe his separate life as a guy in commercials has tapped into the casual fan more than I've realized.


I thought for sure he would stop getting votes the last 2 years.
anybody have a broscience opinion on this?

i think its because hes obviously a great player, but most of all hes extremely fun to watch. the allstar game is entertainment, the fans want to see his dunks and athleticism. he deserves it though, even if he wasnt voted in by fans he would be chosen. he deserves to get in

Way to go Blake! I've been kinda down on him here as late but that's because he's made me a spoiled child with all his amazing plays. But he's still my favorite player by far.

Good for BG. Too bad CP3 will be lucky to make it on as a reserve.

Why did non-Clipper fans turn on him after his rookie year?

Not sure I want Blake risking an injury by receiving 48 minutes of giant lobs coming his way lol. It will feel like a normal Clippers game to Blake because there is no defence played in the all star game.

I don't think Chris Paul makes the list this year. I'm predicting he will miss the All-Star Game for the first time in his career.

But it may be by design. The hope is for DeAndre Jordan to make the All-Star Game in his place. It's the only way to protect DJ from a possible trade.
