http://sportstwo.com/NBA/Story/NBA/1571688 East: Kidd - Wade - Howard - James - Garnett West: Iverson - Bryant - Yao - Anthony - Duncan Pretty much the same group that it had been for a while, other then AI making it in over T-Mac. Thoughts?
i think next week will the more interesting announcement, but with AI making it over T-Mac gives the West another spot, because T-mac won't make it as a reserve
Chris Paul or Steve Nash should've made it over Iverson in my opinion, but it's fan votes so it doesn't really matter
No big surprises here, the '03 draft is well represented, than Bosh and Josh Howard is most likely to get in, and Kaman has a chance as well. I hope one of the Hawks make it, Josh, Marvin, or Joe(he doesn't deserve to tho.)
I'm surprised Iverson got in over T-Mac. Sure, they say he passed him in the voting but it was a large margin, wasn't it? After T-Mac's recent comments, this makes me a little suspicious. I'm happy it turned out this way, though. One less guard gets snubbed. Here's who I think should be the reserves: Eastern Conference Paul Pierce Chris Bosh Chauncey Billups Caron Butler Antawn Jamison Rasheed Wallace Ray Allen or Joe Johnson Western Conference Chris Paul Steve Nash Dirk Nowitzki Carlos Boozer Marcus Camby Brandon Roy Baron Davis

Same with Deron Williams, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. I just look at it this way: Marcus Camby has been snubbed enough. I don't care if Denver has 0, 1, 2, or 3 All-Stars - Camby needs to be put in there at least once. Amare is going to make plenty of All-Star games throughout the rest of his career. Kaman will likely make a couple. Give Camby his dues before he experiences a drop-off, because that is coming soon. As for Ray/JJ - it could go either way. Johnson is the better all-around player at this point, but at the same time - especially as a Boston fan - if Detroit got 4 All-Stars a couple years ago for having the best record, give us 3 for our historic record (4th best start in NBA history, 29-3).
