Lmao at Nash and Nowitzki not starting and Shaq starting. Talk about a popularity contest.

Rookie vs. Sophs game should be pretty even starters to me look like :

Rooks:

PG: Randy Foye
SG: Brandon Roy
SF: Morrison/Gay (really just a toss-up, both have been inconsistent)
PF: Andrea Barganni
C: Jorge Garbojosa

Sophs:

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Deron Williams
SF: David Lee
PF: Andrew Bogut
C: Andrew Bynum

Regarding the playstation skills challenge, I think its going to come down to Kobe and Wade. They have the speed advantage over Bron and Nash, dont get me wrong, James is very fast but its hard to maneuver with that big body of his. You could say Nash is the only pure passer but the other 3 guys are all also very gifted passers.

Shaq starting at the ASG is really absurd. There must be a minimum of games played for the participation at the ASG.

And Nash is better then McGrady. As Nowitzki is better then Garnett & Duncan this season.

Sucks for my boy Hirich couldn't make it. I know the players that made it may deserve it, but I hate it when more than one player for one team makes it while there is a reasonably better choice. The guard combos of NJ and Detroit are in.

They should expand the rosters to 15 each. The league has 30 teams, for crying outloud. I don't care if the coaches will have a hard time giving the players playing time, but 12 isn't really enough.

How does Rip Hamilton make it over Joe Johnson? Rip isn't even his team's 2nd option in the clutch.

Btw, Yao and Boozer will not be able to play so the great commissioner of ours will select two replacements.

Lamar Odom should have made it from the beginning, but again he isn't even his team's 2nd option. Lamar is his team's second option. He gets you 18 points a night, one less than Howard while setting up the Lakers offense and get you 10 boards a night compared to Howard's 7 boards and staggering 2 assists on 44% shooting.

Tony Parker over Deron Williams is possibly the worst snubbing, IMO.

Lamar Odom is an all-star. You have to give it to him. Melo and LO should be the two replacemnts.

How is is that the Wizards(27-18), Pistons(26-18), Nets(22-24), and Heat(20-25) get 2 All-Stars, yet the Bulls(26-20) get none?

And the best team in the league gets only one All-Star. :bang:

Well I agree and disagree with you. I agree that if those teams get 2 all stars the Bulls should get at least one but I disagree with you. All-Star honors are given to the players. So look at how the player is doing, not how his team is doing.
