Protester claims NBA voter fraud
The protester claimed voter fraud on Joel Embiid's behalf in his bid to be an All-Star starter.

PHILADELPHIA -- Sports and politics sometimes mix.

One sign during a demonstration in Center City Thursday had a different message than the rest.

Mark Stephens from Huntington Valley claimed voter fraud on Joel Embiid's behalf in his bid to be an All-Star starter.

The voting system changed this year as players and select media members joined fan voting.

Had it just been fan voting - Embiid would have been a starter.
