Have we ever seen that big of a swing? Is it possible? 800,000 votes? Is it legit?


I think I saw somewhere after the first round of voting there was a period where votes counted as 2 votes. I presume that's something that happens every year but I could be wrong. James also has a large dedicated following.

How shocked will you be if a few years from now you will find these 800,000 were paid?

Yeah I keep seeing this on NBA.com--"Today your vote counts as two votes!"

making it even sillier than it already was.

What is AD doing there? Unless these aren't votes and just number of visits to the medical room, he should be nowhere close to this ballot or all-star game this year.

You doesn't seem to understand how the voting works. If a player got 1 Mio votes it doesn't necessarily mean that 1 Mio people voted for him. It could also be 1000 people who voted 1000 times.

DeJounte Murray not being in the top 10 is concerning for his chances. He was going to be a long shot because you'd have to choose between him and Donovan Mitchell and Mitchell's team is better. Fans showing love for FVV after he was 10th last time is nice to see.

I wonder how KAT is feeling about Wiggins having twice as any votes as him?

Realgm posters: Yeah but LeBron probably paid to have 1000 people set up 1000 TVs each to increase ratings.
