Maybe you need to check out the dictionary about the word "favorite".
That's what I'm just saying........chinese voted for their "favorite" player, and as they're numerous, Yao got lots of votes......now this is the truth......unfortunately. Shaq won't play this AS Game.... becoz of them
"In a development that is nothing short of stunning, Yao landed ahead of Hall of Famer - and resident dominant big man - Shaquille O'Neal in the first tabulation of the All-Star voting. Cynical Lakers fans charge the anti-Laker Western Conference is ganging up on Shaq Daddy. There may be a shred of truth to that, but be advised it is not a result of the Asian population stuffing the ballot box. The NBA tracks this sort of thing, and, according to Terry Lyons, vice president of international relations, most of the votes Yao received were from Americans."
