Yao is a very popular figure because he is a gentle giant. Very humble and well mannered. Compared to Shaq who insults people and tries to be funny all the time. Yao is much more likeable. he is doing 26/10 this year but years before hes around 19/10 thats allstar material.

I trust u that China has alotta ppl balloting for Yao, yet whether Yao is the at the instant the main suitable center interior the NBA. have faith it or not he's. he's proved to us final 365 days that he's the main suitable center. whether ppl say Dwight Howard is the main suitable center... Howard is dominant no lie, yet his offensive skills dont tournament that of Yao's. All Dwight can do is in simple terms dunk on ppl, seem at his unfastened throw capturing. And Amare? whether he's indexed as center for Phoenix, i seem at him as a power forward. His selection extends to approximately 18 ft from the basket. yet a weak point of Amare's is protection, Amare doesnt tournament Yao. whether you would be able to sense undesirable approximately China constantly balloting Yao in, he does need to start up for the West. he's the main suitable center interior the NBA authentic now.

Because voting takes place worldwide Online. So his home country of China gets to vote for him.
Same as in baseball, and Ichiro gets a huge amount of votes.
Besides Yao, the 2nd highest vote-getter from China is Kobe Bryant.

Because with the dearth of traditional "centers" in the NBA in recent years, the ballot has limited options for all-star centers. Being from the land of a BILLION people doesn't hurt either.

Yao ming is a nice person, unlike shaq.
Also Yao Ming doesn't play for the money, he play for his country and his people.
(He doesn't need money anyway, he got a billion of ads per day)

Houston is a large city. Teams in higher populated NBA cities get more voters. Hence , Mign gets many votes whether they are earned or not in comparision to other teams. Minnesota, utah, Sacremento are at a disadvantage in this regard.
