People are having a hard time spelling Kyle Lowry's last name and it's costing him All-Star votes

All-Star voting in the NBA is simple, tweet or post a player's name on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #NBAVOTE.

There's no method of All-Star voting easier than that, and yet, some people are still getting the process wrong.

If you spell the player's name wrong, the votes don't count, which is completely understandable, but that hasn't stopped people from tweeting out the incorrect spelling of players names.

In fact, this problem hits close to home for Toronto fans as some people just don't know how to spell Kyle Lowry's last name and it's costing him votes.

The NBA recently released the first returns of voting and Lowry was sixth among backcourt players in the East which is a little ridiculous.

Lowry was a starter for the East last year, but based on the first returns, he's a long shot to start again.

That being said, it's never too late.  Get out there and vote (by spelling his name correctly, no "E," simply "Lowry") and maybe Kyle makes a late run.

Also, Toronto fans should be considered lucky they don't have to try and spell Giannis Antetokounmpo's name.  Imagine how many votes he's lost because fans can't spell his last name.
