Breaking Down the All-Star Voting

No doubt you've heard that Derrick Rose was named an All-Star starter yesterday. If you break down the voting numbers, you'll see that Rose received more votes (689,421) than anybody over the final two weeks of the voting. Below are the vote totals by position and segment.

The only instance where a starter didn't also lead over the last period was Yao Ming, who withstood a late charge by Andrew Bynum. I guess people weren't buying my argument in support of voting Yao in. Blake Griffin gained a lot of steam over the last couple segments but was never able to gain on Carmelo Anthony.
