I've Had it Up To Here With The Chinese

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.

The NBA needs to implement some type of over ride measure into the all-star ballot.  The fans should not just have free reign to vote for whoever they want.  In my opinion, there should at least be a minimum number of games played to even have your name appear on the ballot.  At least that way even if the fans vote in someone who doesn't deserve it, he'll at least have played this season.
