Damn It!

It looked like a sure fit, especially considering the All-Star game was being played in Dallas for the first time in 24 years. Nowitzki led by 49,905 votes going into the final two weeks of voting before being overtaken by Timmeh Duncan.

Final Totals:

Nowitzki: 1,093,005

Duncan: 1,156,696

Despite better stats (Nowitzki averages 25.3 points, 8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks compared to Tim Duncan's 20, 10.5 and 1.8) and a better overall record (Dallas is first in the Southwest Division at 28-15. 2.5 games ahead of Duncan's Spurs at 25-16) stupid fans voted in Duncan, yet again.

63,691 votes.

San Antonio wins again...

Damn it!
