James asked:


Here’s my team so far, let me know what you think:
East Starters:
C – Dwight Howard
F – Lebron James
F – Kevin Garnett
G – Dwyane Wade
G – Allen Iverson

Reserves:
C – Chris Bosh (i think he’s eligible for center)
F – Paul Pierce
F – Hedo Turkoglu
G – Joe Johnson
G – Devin Harris
WC – Ray Allen
WC – Danny Granger

West Starters:
C – Yao Ming
F – Carmelo Anthony
F – Amare Stoudamire
G – Kobe Bryant
G – Chris Paul

Reserves:
C – Tim Duncan
F – Dirk Nowitzki
F – Carlos Boozer
G – Brandon Roy
G – Deron Williams (if he’s healthy enough to produce by the game)
WC – Pau Gasol
WC – Chauncey Billups

I put Iverson on in the east because you know he’ll get voted to start, whether or not he earns it. I also think that either Jose Calderon, Rajon Rondo, or Derrick Rose could take Granger’s spot on the east. let me know

    Dude…Danny Granger’s been awesome. If Jose Calderon, Rajon Rondo, or Derrick Rose gets in, it’s for Ray Allen. In the west, I think David West might get in for Pau Gasol. I don’t know, it’s gonna be close.

    Okay, First if you think Andrew Bynum isn’t making the All star team you need some inundating SOON to avoid heart attack when it happens.

    Next Tim Duncan is billed as a Forward whether you think so or not that’s where he is there

    add a tracy mcgrady in there too and the rest looks good!

    Dont forget about Lamarcus aldridge for the blazers as a possible reserve, hes been on a tear lately and deserves to be in the all star game

    But I like everything else where they are..Dirk should not make the all star team, but probably will.. Boozer is solid, B roy is good, everything else is good.

    except put lamarcus on over dirk as a reserve.

  • 6 Ethan // Jul 11, 2009 at 12:19 pm

    Derrick Rose will make it and will be Rookie of he Year

  • 7 sungjina // Jul 12, 2009 at 8:37 am

    replace carmelo with tmac and you’re set!

  • 8 Jack J // Jul 12, 2009 at 2:23 pm

    LOL no Shaq i like that. I would start Bosh over KG becuase he is having a better year. Besides that everything is good

  • 9 FPJ // Jul 15, 2009 at 8:36 am

    East Starter:

    F – Yi Jianlian

    You know China is gonna put him in there.

    It’s so hard to say right now because of all the injuries (now McGrady will miss three weeks). I can’t remember the last time so many big time players missed so many games due to injury. There may be so few guys healthy for the all-star game, that players who would never make the roster otherwise, just might luck out, and get an invite.

    Vince Carter is having a pretty good season so far…I think he’s a possiblity in the east. Rose probably deserves a spot…even if he is a rookie.

    Steve Nash and Tony Parker will be hard to leave off the team in the west. Also, what about Tracy McGrady or Manu Ginobili??
