It surprises me that some people are still baffled as to why Yao is raking in record all-star votes. He has a country with a billion people for its population voting him into the all-star game, how is he NOT going to have the most votes ? He's worshipped all over China, there straight up is no bigger celebrity to Chinese people then Yao Ming.
Besides, with Shaq now in the East, who else is one to vote in for the Western Conference's starting Center ? Brad Miller ? Michael Olowakandi ? Sean Bradley ? Rasho Nesterovic ? Chris Kaman ?
