What is the history (in terms of playoff/finals performance) of teams with multiple starters in the all-star game?
It's a crapshoot as to who wins the all-star game mvp and who does well, but the guy with the hot hand usually gets fed the ball repeatedly. Yao's not going to get highlight dunks (at least I don't think so), but he can get some ooh's and aah's if he does some nice passing. Everybody on the Eastern Conf. team will be trying to dunk on him if he's anywhere near the rim. I hope Yao can keep up with the pace of an All-Star game. If he thought a regular NBA goes fast... uh oh. One plus is that he won't have to play as much because they'll try to get everyone minutes in the game.
