Is T-Mac wearing a pager?
According to the results of this year's fan voting, Tracy McGrady is more of an All-Star than Brandon Roy? How much more? 600,202 votes more. Mind you, this isn't Tracy McGrady with a time machine to the year 2002, this is the team cancer McGrady that has played in six games this year and scored less total points (19) than Roy averages (23) in a game. Did your head just explode? Mine sure did.
I know it's tradition to cry outrage when the fan voting system fails, or to ironically blame China (and global fans of Yao Ming that stuff the ballot boxes for his teammates) for ruining the democracy of the online voting setup, but this is pretty ridiculous. McGrady essentially does not play professional basketball right now. People might as well have voted for the ghost of Pistol Pete Maravich, or a house plant.
Roy is not locked out of All-Star weekend, he has a chance to get added to the Western Conference roster by the coaches. Thankfully that is not an option for McGrady.

This is laughable. I'm putting this into the same category as the Electoral College and the BCS at this point. Almost certain Roy will get added to the roster though.
I disagree on one point, that "people might as well have voted for the ghost of Pistol Pete Maravich or a house plant." Pistol Pete's ghost is more qualified to be an All-Star than T-Mac, at this point in the season.
scored FEWER points, not "scored less points" (if you can count 'em, it's "fewer")
FEWER trolls are BETTER than MORE. English Majors, die in a fire.
