While Voodoo has the All-Star game thread going, I figured I'd create a separate one for all the extra activities. Who do you want to see, or think deserve to be, in the festivities?

Rudy Gay vs. Gerald Green would be cool to see. And about the guys in the 3pt shooting contest - I seriously didn't even realize they were shooting so good this season from 3. The only headscratcher is Eddie House, and putting Hedo up there without Rashard (who made more 3's and at a better percentage). I'd say...replace House with Anthony Parker, Mike Miller, or Rashard Lewis.

I'd love to see Eddie House in there. He is one of the better shooters in the league, always has been. I think he'd be great in the 3-point shootout setting, though. He's got an extremely quick release and he's a pretty fast runner. He's finish all the racks no problem, and he wouldn't have to rush. I completely forgot about Anthony Parker, however.

I think Moon will start, no bias. He has played better then Yi, IMO. As for the dunk contest, gotta have Nick Young man. Monta Ellis, take him out. I'm telling you right now, if Nick Young enters, it will be entertaining.

Haven't really seen him play much, haven't seen much of his dunks...but Ellis doesn't make all that much sense.
also how bout JRich in the 3point contest, its good hes got the notice from everyone here. Will he be the first to win both, we'll see
