Looks like T-Mac and Yao are both likely to start at the All-Star game this year. I don't see any other Western Conference centers on the list.
Have you guys seen list of choices at forward in the East? Its ridiculously bad. My first choice was Grant Hill and then you gotta really struggle to come up with a second pick. Carter sure as hell doesn't deserve a vote, and the only other decent choices are Jamison, Gooden and Dwight Howard. Lebron unfortunately is listed as a guard.
