The CBA All-Star voting has been a hot topic, and frankly, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that Zhao Rui became the top vote-getter. How is this possible? A player averaging less than 10 points per game is now the top vote-getter? Isn't this just for fun?
Zhao Rui only played 14 games this season, averaging 9.6 points, which is simply unacceptable. You know, Jones averages 33.3 points, yet he can only come off the bench now. This voting result is really speechless.
Guo Ailun only played 7 games and could be selected as a starter, with an average of 4 turnovers per game. His team, Guangzhou, is currently on a 9-game losing streak. How can he still be selected? Is this a joke?
Sun Minghui leads the team in first place, averaging 9.2 assists per game, yet he can only come off the bench now. This selection standard is really incomprehensible.
This voting result does not take into account the actual performance of the players at all; it's purely based on their fan base. If this continues, the credibility of the CBA All-Star will eventually be ruined.
Xu Jie has been really fierce this season, playing in all 25 games without missing one, averaging 16 points and 7.6 assists, and always stepping up in critical moments.
Hu Jinqiu's dominance in the paint is undeniable, averaging 19.5 points, ranking second among domestic players in scoring ability, leading Guangsha to a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, topping the standings.
Lofthouse is even more impressive, averaging 23.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, leading Shanghai from a 1-10 record to an 11-game winning streak. This is truly an All-Star level performance.
The current voting rules are too arbitrary, without even the most basic requirement of the number of appearances. Isn't this a mess?
The NBA's three-party voting system is great, with fans, media, and players each taking a certain proportion, ensuring fairness.
Coaches' opinions are also important, after all, they are the ones who know the players' performances best, and they should be given some voting rights.
Team records must also be considered; you can't have a player starting when their team is almost at the bottom.
The All-Star Game was originally a stage to showcase players' abilities, but now it has turned into a popularity contest among fans.
Those truly talented players do not receive the recognition they deserve, which is detrimental to the development of the league.
It's not appropriate to mix rookies and veterans in the selection process; we can consider separating them to give rookies their own platform to shine.
A data threshold must be established, such as the minimum number of games played to be eligible for selection.
The voting system must also implement anti-vote manipulation measures to prevent fans from affecting fairness through vote manipulation.
We can learn from the experience of foreign leagues to establish a more scientific selection system.
Most importantly, the actual performance of the players should be the main criterion for selection, not their fan base.
The problems exposed by this All-Star voting reflect many shortcomings in CBA management.
If timely improvements are not made, it may affect the fairness and watchability of the entire league.
Fans also need to rationally view the voting and not just blindly support their favorite players.
For the league to develop healthily, a fair and just evaluation system must be established.
