<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'> Kidd Likely to Start, Carter Likely to Rest January 24, 2008, 5:21 pm The NBA will announce the starters for next month’s All-Star Game Thursday night. Remarkably, it will likely be the first time Jason Kidd is voted as a starter since joining the Nets. And when the reserves are announced next week, Vince Carter will likely learn that he’ll be getting a few days of rest for the first time since he came into the league.

IMO Tmac hasn't deserved it the past couple years. AI deserves to go and is okay to start. Stevie deserves to start, but Tmac...no.
