    This thread needs the obligatory Len Bias response.

    Seriously though, "most exciting"

    Darryl Dawkins has to be in the top 5 if not #1.

    Andre Igoudala; Lamar Odom; Rudy Gay; J.R. Smith and our own Kevin Martin.


    Drazen Petrovic; Orlando Woolridge; a young Aryvdas Sabonis; Isiah Rider; Cedric Ceballos ???? (techinically he has been voted into all star game, BUT he was injured that year at that point the season);

    Tidbit about Cedric Ceballos, he was actually the last wing player, guards and small forwards, to lead the league in field goal percentage.

    I'll probably get flamed, but I always wanted to see Rafer Alston go full 'Skip 2 My Lou' at the all-star game

    There is only one correct answer.

    You really think Yao is more boring than Jamaal Magloire, David West, Hersey Hawkins, Brad Miller, Dale Davis, and Vin Baker?

    I was also thinking Kevin Martin. Problably not because he is really exciting to watch but because he deserves better.

    Flashy 13-time all-star Tim Duncan thanks you.

    Josh Smith is a great answer. And Jason Williams of course.. his one chance to shine, he busted out the elbow pass in the rookie/soph game that one year

    oh and Monta isn't a fun answer because super super selfish players are annoying as hell in the all star game. The way Kobe was annoying his first time

    Say what you want about Iverson, but he was a passer when he had teammates.

    Duncan is more boring than Yao for the flashy style of play of the All-Star game.

    But, he is a great player, and with his "boring" style of the play, he has won big things, so he is great for the reg.season, or for when it counts.

    maybe this year, not good like before, but in his prime was a great player.

    def Aaron Brooks in his peak...sad to see him declined so much this season, his three point shooting and the way he drives the ball n finish was fun to watch..

    Yeah right now until I see or think of someone else, I have to go with Daryl Dawkins from the past and Josh Smith right now.
