55th Annual NBA All Star Game in Houston

[rik]

Elton Brand at center? Please, God, no...This is how it SHOULD be:

West:
PG Steve Nash...Baron Davis/Tony Parker   
SG Kobe Bryant...Jason Richardson/Ray Allen   
SF Tracy McGrady...Carmelo Anthony/Shawn Marion
PF Elton Brand...Dirk Nowitzki/Kevin Garnett
C Marcus Camby...Tim Duncan/Mehmet Okur

Coach: Greg Popovich

East:
PG Allen Iverson...Gilbert Arenas/Chauncy Billups
SG Paul Pierce...Dwyane Wade/Richard Hamilton
SF LeBron James...Vince Carter/Ricky Davis
PF Jermaine O'Neal...Chris Bosh/Rasheed Wallace
C Ben Wallace...Shaquille O'Neal/Dwight Howard

Coach: Flip Saunders

Honorable mentions: Corey Magette, Wally Sczerbiak, Zach Randolph, Sam Cassel, Manu Ginobli, Grant Hill, Antawn Jamison, Richard Jefferson, Steve Francis, Jason Kidd, Mike Bibby, Andre Kirilenko, Rashard Lewis, etc.


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).

That looks pretty good.

East:

PG Gilbert Arenas/Allen Iverson/Chauncey Billups

SG Michael Redd/Rip Hamilton/Ricky Davis

SF Lebron James/Paul Pierce/Richard Jefferson

PF Chris Webber/Dwight Howard/Rasheed Wallace

C Zydrunas Ilgauskas/Channing Frye/Mark Blount


West:

PG Steve Nash/Mike Bibby/Baron Davis

SG Kobe Bryant/Ray Allen/Jason Richardson

SF Carmelo Anthony/Rashard Lewis/Wally Sczerbiak

PF Elton Brand/Zach Randolph/Pau Gasol

C Brad Miller/Chris Kaman/Mehmet Okur

Chris Webber over Jermaine O'neal? Micheal Redd over Dwayne Wade? Zydrunas Illgauskas, Frye & Blount over Shaq & Ben Wallace? Man, you got some problems

Yea...Look at the West. Zach Randolph and Pau Gasol over Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki...Chris Kaman over Marcus Camby? Shit is definitely questionable.

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.

[hisairness]

None of you guys think Duncan will be a starter?  Most don't even have him on the list...

[h cottie is bac-tive?]

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.

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

  you don't even have T-Mac, Tim Duncan, KG, or Ben Wallace in your all-star game

most underrated player ---- andrei kirilenko

incredible all around player...13.4 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 4.4 apg, 3.2 bpg, 1.5 spg

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...

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?

None of you guys think Duncan will be a starter?  Most don't even have him on the list...

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.

[Spicemuthafuc*in1]

Im sorry but there is absolutely no way that Odom is as good as AK47 no chance.

[7even]

since mcgrady is a forward now and brand and anthony having career-seasons shit is getting buckwild in the west with forwards... mcgrady, brand, garnett, duncan, nowitzki, marion, gasol, anthony .. even amare if you will so.. nuts.

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...

[Spicemuthafuc*in1]

dude he has been banged up all year when hes completely healthy he'l be at 18 points a game with 10 rebounds and will be in top 5 in blocks.  besides jermaine oneal or chris bosh aint too many players put up all around numbers like that with the blocks and ak does

WHEN he's healthy...As for now, he's not in all-star starting center form.
