That's my honest opinion...I think it'd work best, even though some players who deserve to be on the team wont make it (as always).

I just didn't want to bench KG. Both KG and Garnett deserves to start.

True, Camby was the player i forgot about i was looking at the center position for the west for a lil bit wondering what looked wrong with that.

Explain to me what Wade has done special this year so far because at this point compared to this time last year hes fallen off and Shaq once again this year is definetly going to get the start over Ilgauskas this year because of his popularity and not his skills. So it looks like now that im not the one with problems.

lol wonder if he saw Randolphs amazing performance against the Spurs the other night, with Duncan guarding him most of the game. 1 of 14 from the field, 5 points, 4 rebounds. Amazing.

D. Wade - 26.3 ppg, 6.8 apg, 6.3 rpg, 1.9 spg
M. Redd - 24.9 ppg, 2.7 apg, 4.4 rpg, 0.9 spg

Played all 33 games 19-17 record best in their division with Shaq only playing in 15.

              Shaq's skills vs. Zydrunas' skills

Shaq - 54% FG, 19.7 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.5 bpg
Zydrunas - 50% FG, 15.5 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 0.9 apg, 1.8 bpg

Odom has better stats than those...AK47 is good, he was in my honorable mentions, but he's not underrated.

Lamar Odom: 15 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1 BPG, 1.1 SPG

Compare percentages...

Lamar Odom:
45.7 FG%
36.1 3P%
69.3 FT%

Andrei Kirilenko:
40.4 FG%
28.9 3P%
62.8 FT%


I forgot to add Odom in my honorable mentions... :-X

Did you see me say anything about Wade? I was more concerned with your picks for power forward in the west than anything...Michael Redd and Dwyane Wade are on the same level. But you left out players like Garnett, Duncan, Camby, J. O'Neal, Shaq, B. Wallace and you have players like Z. Randolph, Gasol, Kaman, Webber, Frye, Blount...You know what I'm sayin?

Duncan over Brand? Not the way Brand's been playing this year...Brand most likely wont start, but he honestly deserves to.

this happens every year though to a lot of players. Duncan is obviously the better player, but Brand is having a great first half of the season. Duncan has a rep as a great player, Brand is still trying to gain that respect. Sometimes it takes time for people to notice. Im not saying its fair, im just saying thats how it always is. I wouldnt complain really if Brand got the start. To be honest tho, i dont even care for the idea of fans voting on all star games. its cool, cus the fans are involved. But seriously, there are a lot of stupid ass fans out there who just vote on their favorite players....or vote on the popular players, rather then actually knowing enough about basketball to make a smart pick.

LOL. I don't think so...Shaq barely played this year. Not only that, but once again, he's playing the worst basketball of his career. Ben Wallace is on top of his game, he's played all season, and his stats (minus point average) plus his play show that he's the better player this season...
