These are the top vote getters in the eastern conference:
EASTERN CONFERENCE Forwards: LeBron James (Cleveland) 808,570; Chris Bosh (Toronto) 304,624; Jermaine O’Neal (Indiana) 258,139, Paul Pierce (Boston) 187,138; Grant Hill (Orlando) 168,695; Rasheed Wallace (Detroit) 144,228; Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia) 136, 785; Emeka Okafor (Charlotte) 98,502; Tayshaun Prince (Detroit) 93,514; Chris Webber (Philadelphia) 88,066. Guards: Allen Iverson (Philadelphia) 595,200; Dwyane Wade (Miami) 586,679; Vince Carter (New Jersey) 433,363; Gilbert Arenas (Washington) 225,923; Jason Kidd (New Jersey) 190,385; Chauncey Billups (Detroit) 109,687; Stephon Marbury (New York) 107,219; Michael Redd (Milwaukee) 97,394; Joe Johnson (Atlanta) 78,680; Steve Francis (New York) 76,210. Centers: Shaquille O'Neal (Miami) 522,815; Dwight Howard (Orlando) 415,708; Ben Wallace (Chicago) 216,443; Alonzo Mourning (Miami) 65,255; Andrew Bogut (Milwaukee) 46,178; Zaza Pachulia (Atlanta) 39,921; Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Cleveland) 38,590; Nenad Krstic (New Jersey) 33,459; Samuel Dalembert (Philadelphia) 30,744; Nazr Mohammed (Detroit) 30,078. ^^taken from nba.com Ok I understand having AI, Wade, Carter, Arenas, Kidd, Billups, Redd, and Joe Johnson above Kirk... they are flashy players and they score a lot... but come on, folks, Starbury and Franchise???? WTF??? Do NBA fans think they are voting for most likely to destroy a teams chemistry? I'm also a little dissapointed that Webber and Iguodala are above Deng and El Chapu. That is BS. Iguodala is just living off dunk contest hype and Webber is there just because of his name. I think everyone expected this, but the only Bull with a chance of making it is Ben Wallace. (at least based on the first poll results) |

All-Star game = more chance for a stupid injury. I am fine with none of the guys making it.

I'll say this, I completely agree with the names you said are a total joke being anywhere even close to high on that list. Its too bad the Bulls don't get love, but I think its fair to say they will be a team stepping up as the season continues (and they already have) and I fully expect them to win at the very least there first post-jordan playoff series.

Meh, I am not too worried about it. They can fly under the radar and continue to win games as far as I am concerned.

I suppose its great news for Pax, who needs to start trying to resign guys like Nocioni and Deng. The longer they fly under the radar the better. I just think guys like Kirk, Deng, Noc bust their hump every night and it's kind of sad that the national media pays more attention to Big Ben's head band then they do to their efforts. (And I mean no disrespect to Big Ben's head band)

Its a popularity contests so it doesnt even matter. ALso, the Bulls dont have one guy that stands out one night every night. If anything its what makes us unique.

If anything its what makes us unique. Which is further emphasized by the fact we have four guys averaging 15+ PPG, and none at 20 or more. Balance is the key word. |

It's a shame voters don't know enough to give Deng some votes.
