i do believe that team record should affect if you play or not, so here is my starting 5 west - duncan (yao missed too many games and his team record stinks - sorry) nowitzki marion (if t-mac hadnt missed so many games and his teams record didnt stink he would definately be my pick) kobe nash east - honestly, i would pick the pistons starting 5, but that wouldnt be as fun shaq o'neal lebron wade billups
West: C - Duncan PF - Garnett SF - McGrady SG - Kobe PG - Nash -Yao -Camby -Baron Davis -Brand -Marion -Chris Paul -Ray Allen East: C - Shaq PF - Jermaine (injured, replaced by: Bosh) SF - Lebron SG - Wade PG - Iverson -B. Wallace -Webber -Carter -R. Wallace -AK47 -Pierce -Billups
absolutely...im just not a homer like i said, i think your teams record should factor into it. i wouldnt leave yao or t-mac off the roster, i just dont think either of them deserve to start.
i love yao, but he's been injured a significant portion of the season. paul has completely turned around a pathetic hornets team. he's been fantastic and to say that paul should get the nod over yao is not being a troll.
wow, what can i say about this other than its time to get a clue. yao and camby have missed a large portion of the season. davis and allen both play for losing teams. and you leave out nowitzki, the best player on the 3rd best team in the nba. all i can say is wow. talk about ridiculous.
agreed. both tracy and yao deserve to be ON the team but they shouldn't be starting. they've missed a lot games and the rockets are one of the worst teams in the league. don't call some us "fake" or not "real" fans because we don't think they should be starting. my team: West: C - Tim Duncan PF - Elton Brand SF - Shawn Marion SG - Kobe Bryant PG - Steve Nash Reserves - Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Chris Paul, Baron Davis, Ray Allen East: C - Ben Wallace PF - Jermaine O'Neal SF - Lebron James SG - Allen Iverson PG - Chauncey Billups Reserves - Dwyane Wade (would start if you could throw J.O'Neal at center, move LBJ to PF), Richard Hamilton, Shaq, Chris Bosh, Michael Redd, Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, Gilbert Arenas
WEST: Starters: Nash, Bryant, McGrady, Duncan, Yao Reserves: 2 guards; Parker and Cassell, 5 forwards; Dirk, Marion, Anthony, Gasol, and Brand EAST: Starters: AI, Wade, Lebron, O'Neal, Shaq Reserves: 3 guards; Billups, Hamilton and Carter, 3 forwards; Rasheed (starter replacement), Bosh, Howard, 2 centers; Wallace and Z (injury replacement)
to quote the thread title: "who is on your all-star team?" well, i hate nowitzki and i love davis and allen. so i put them on my all-star team. i was just making teams of who i'd want to see most if i attended the game. therefore i put players that i enjoy watching more than who i think deserves to be there...is there something wrong with that? as the great TMAC640 once said...suck "DEEZ NUTS"
Vecsey is reporting that Vince Carter, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Paul Pierce, and Chris Bosh will be the East's reserves, apparently Stern hasn't picked Jermaine O'neal's replacement. http://www.nypost.com/sports/63247.htm How much pressure does that put on Detroit? Sheesh!
It's all-star, not best team record. According to you guys: West: Dallas starting five. West reserve: Spurs starting five. East: Pistons starting five. East reserve: Heats starting five. You happy? If you say, wait, team record is not absolute decideing factor, we need to consider others as well. Then, give us a format, what factor takes what percentage of the final result to give you the final conclusive professional opinion, that TMac and Yao should be no where near the all-star game.
Just missed on Anthony and Cassell in the West, Howard, and probably Z in the East, where's my cookie?!
west: Yao Duncan Tmac Kobe Nash Reserve: Brand Gasol Marion Parker Kirilenko -even though he missed alot of the season Cassell Carmelo Garnett East lineups are fine. although i wouldnt have given the spot to Rasheed wallace, i would have given it to Arenas or Dwight Howard
