EAST Starters: Rondo, Wade, Anthony, Lebron, Bosh Bench: Holiday, Deron, Pierce, Deng, Josh, Horford, Varejao WEST Starters: Paul, Kobe, Durant, Love, Duncan Bench: Westbrook, Harden, Parker, Gay, Randolph, Griffin, Howard
Tyson Chandler instead of Varejao. Chandler is having an awesome year, and the Cavs suck. If the Pacers go on a little run, which I think is likely, David West instead of Josh Smith. West is having the better year. Marc Gasol over Gay. KG over Pierce. He missed it last year, and he's great right now while Pierce is a bit down. I could also see Noah over Deng. Hey, that makes it 6 centers in the East! Maybe not that likely, but they deserve it imo. Steph Curry or Harden -- depending on team results. David Lee or Blake -- also depending on team results, I'd select Lee right now.
Its so difficult to predict right now. Definitely next month it'll be easier to figure out. As long as Harden gets an all-star nod, I'll be happy.
I would rather take less centers from the east and pick player like Irving to be honest, they are pretty weak comparing to the star players of other positions. KG avgs like 15pt/7reb, same goes for M.Gasol (though Gasol is a good passer), those are barely even allstar stats. Maybe that's why they want to put centers into the forward category this year.
Yes, but these are some of the best defenders in the game, while Kyrie is one of the worst and injured. I don't see him making it, unless he comes back very soon and just blows up.
I'll give it a shot, but I think I'll come back in a month and adjust it. Based on -right now-...

Well, Curry may be making a case, but he's just on a hot streak right now. I think Harden will be in the All Star because the NBA would want someone from the Rockets to represent them in the All Star in Houston. It wouldn't be right to have the All Star in Houston and not a single player from Houston when Harden is playing like an All Star right now. I don't know why some of you would want Curry to be in the ALL Star over Harden. Curry is on a hot streak right now and the Warriors have more well rounded players than Houston. The Warriors have more players that can score than Houston where they only have Harden that can score and nobody else really other than Parsons.
Curry's hot streak was bound to happen, he was way below his career %s. I don't know that any of us would WANT it one way or the other, it's just what makes more sense 20 games in. Curry is an all star level player individually, and his team is playing very well right now even without Bogut.
