Fan voting for the NBA All-Star game has ended. You have no more chances to try and get your second-favorite Bosnian sportsperson (after Edin Dzeko) into the NBA’s premiere showcase of talent. If you want, I can show you the secret backdoor I made into the NBA’s voting systems (I’m still casting thousands of votes for D.J. Wilson per day), but it will cost you. I’m thinking five dollars per vote. Your patronage will ensure that I can re-open the backdoor if it ever closes, and it will also provide lots of premium kitty food for my tubby little kitty, Japurri Purrker. As Latrell Sprewell said, I’ve got a family to feed.
I mean, extra voting shouldn’t even be necessary. If someone like Nikola Vucevic, who only decided to start playing defense this year, is basically a shoo-in for the game, Nurkic should be too. He does it all. He scores, inside and out (though no threes like I was hoping for). He defends. He passes like Jokic 0.7.2revisionB. He talks trash. He plays hard. His teammates love him, and his opponents hate him. He’s everything you want in a player except he fouls too much, but it’s not his fault that the refs hate players who still play with passion.
If the NBA decides not to put him in the All-Star game, I will be upset, but they can still do right by me by putting him in the Skills Challenge.
