I think that’s the first place to start. (I know that’s stating the obvious but any of us that aren’t already voting every chance we get should be ashamed) I have several friends that take are voting early and often. As you already suggested, someone can put together a video.
What’s stopping us from starting up a website, posting some links to highlight moments, tracking his accolades – like Eastern Conference Player of the Week – and encouraging people to vote?

I think he’s pretty much a shoe-in to make the team’s 2nd unit and with a concerted push, we may be able to make him a starter. He’s starting to make some serious waves around the league with his play and a site dedicated to campaigning for votes for him would also quite possibly get some free play from the broadcast team on the air as well.

But we all know how this works. First 2 forward spots to fan voting (no way he beats out Bosh, LeBron, Garnett, Pierce nationally). After that it’s the coaches. They base it way too much on team record. Any of those 4 get voted in by fans, then the other 2 get picked because coaches are creatures of habit and value win-loss over production (see: Mo Williams last year). By that same logic, with Atlanta playing the way they are Josh Smith gets in. If Rashard Lewis hadn’t been suspended for 10 games, he would get in on this basis (“A team with that record HAS to have more than 1 all-star”).

Not trying to be a downer, but I’ve been thinking about this since last night, trying to figure out a way to get him in based on the broken system being used right now. Our best chance at getting him in is to win. If we can be playing .500+ ball by the time selections are made, it’s possible. Fingers crossed. But this one is up to the coaches, not voting. Bobcats are just too disrespected by the general public.

Which is why we need to try all the harder.
It will certainly help the cause if the team is still hovering around .500 when the decisions are made and I think, barring injury, the existing team can pull that off. If, as many of us suspect, another trade is in the wind there is a fighting chance we may even be above .500

So it comes down to what we can do. The coaches do indeed have the final say on the second team. But if Wallace has an impressive showing from the fan votes it WILL be noticed. There are two steps to succeeding at this and getting Crash’s name in front of the Eastern Conf coaches is the first one. Other things we can do apart from websites, YouTube videos and such that have already been mentioned should be done with the goal of getting Wallace’s name in front of the decision makers. A couple of suggestions:

1. Keep an eye on the websites of the newspapers in the East Conf cities. Any time one of the coaches in interviewed or a sportswriter does an article about the AllStar game post a link here and we can all go, log in, and comment about Crash mentioning his numbers and worthiness. The coaches and players read that ink a lot of the time.

2. Each time the Bobcats defeat an inner-conference team, go to their paper’s site the next day and make a comment in the recap like this:

“Last night Gerald Wallace scored XX points and had XX rebounds against you last night. If those numbers hurt your team then please consider him for the Eastern Conference AllStar team.”

3. ANY time you attend a Bobcats game from here on out – even if you’re in the nosebleeds – make and bring several “WALLACE FOR ALL STAR!” and “WALLACE IS AN ALL STAR” signs in bright red letters. Hand them out to the people sitting around you – I’m willing to bet you won’t have any trouble finding takers. And HOLD THOSE SUCKERS UP! They’ll get seen and wind up on the broadcast, wind up on the big center court screen, and I guarantee that the more of them there are at the games the more the opposing coach is going to notice. If a sea of those signs go up every time Crash scores or if a dozen of them are waving behind the glass every time an opposing player goes to the stripe it’s going to make news.

None of these things alone will be enough, but collectively they could get him a couple of votes from the coaches and that may be enough to turn the tide.

Even if it doesn’t work, you can bet that Gerald himself will notice and feel the love. It’s the very least we can do for him.

I think everyone ELSE’S must be the unorthodox ones.
