Seriously, its not fair that they have 10,000,000,000 people in their country. Yao Ming hasn't played in a game since December 16th and has no plan of returning to the line up this season. However, the big man was voted into his 8th NBA All-Star game, and is in fact a starter in the game. This is just a mockery of the system. How can I guy who hasn't even appeared on a court, let alone put up solid numbers, be an all-star. I know this horse has pretty much been beaten to death every year, but that's because it pisses me and everyone else off every single year.
Not only is it a joke that Yao gets to keep piling up all-star appearances, but it just really is a shame for the other guys who are left off the list. Being selected an all-star is a great honor for these players and its too bad that the fans in China have made a mockery of the process.
