I can live with your list, I don't see any major changes I would make. I would replace Marcus Camby with Carlos Boozer, though. I'm a huge Denver Nuggets fan so obviously I'm a fan of Marcus Camby's but Boozer is having the much better year. Boozer is one of the main reasons for Utahs early season success. He deserves to get in.
EastG- Gilbert ArenasSG- Dwayne WadeSF- LeBron James Not much argument on thisPF- Jermaine O'nealC- Dwight Howard Bench:I pretty much like yours but instead of Emeka, I'd put in Caron Butler.WestG- Steve NashSG- Kobe BryantSF- Kevin Garnett PF- Dirk Nowitzki :3, 7 footer backcourt, yum.C- Yao Ming---Bench:G- Allen IversonG- Ray AllenF- Tim DuncanF- Lamar OdomC- Amare StoudamireF- Carmelo AnthonyF- Shawn Marion Amare Stoudamire has recovered very fast and is getting his game back every single second he's playing so I think that the coaches will give him a confidence booster by putting him on this team.
I don't like Carmelo in there just because of all the games he missed and what he did. I don't see him as a starter at least. I'd replace him with Boozer. I like Camby so I can live with Amare missing out even though I kind of think he deserves it. Rest is more important right now so I don't mind Camby getting in there when they are both deserving.

Why are so many people picking Odom? he's been injured a lot, and really hasn't had the season someone like Carlos Boozer or Zach Randolph have had.

The only changes, revisions I would make:- Like Balla said, Boozer over Camby without question.- Dirk JUST making it over Baron Davis? Are you crazy? JUST making it?Also, I would REALLY love to see Chris Paul or Deron Williams in there.
People need to stop picking Ray Allen. He's missed a good amount of games due to his injury.No CP3 because of injuries, but Deron Williams could be in there.
Baron Davis should be a reserve for the East this year IMO. He is the leader of GSW and when he is playing well, his team usually wins. He has really improved from last year. Bosh should be a starter. I don't see any Piston players making it to the all-star game except for Hamilton. I don't think Okafor is a starter yet. Dwight will be for sure though.

I know he'll miss more time, sure, but just because he unfortunately got hurt for 3-4 weeks, doesn't mean that he should be snubbed from the All-Star game again. He has had a great season, and the Hornets were playing well when they were healthy (also, not his fault).With all that said, are you going to snub Paul Pierce too? He's been out, and he will be out for another 2 weeks or so. Do you think he should be taken out as well? Yao, same thing. T-Mac? I mean if you are going to snub Chris Paul for 3-4 weeks of injury, do you think it's fair to do the same for Pierce, Yao, and T-Mac?<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (wolverine30 @ Jan 6 2007, 03:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Baron Davis should be a reserve for the East this year IMO.

He should be a starter, but I could see KG and TD as the only starting fowards above him...Melo shouldn't even start ahead of him in the All-star game.And Josh Howard should make this team...I'd put him over Marion right now. As a matter of fact, Boozer missing the team on your list is almost as ridiculous as that Dirk comment. Boozer should be in, even more than Howard actually.
Instead of Okafor, I'd put in Caron Butler. Butler has had more of a better year than Okafor, although you can't really compare the two because they play different positions. I don't this year is Emeka's year, yet. He is getting there, though. If Shaq starts this game at the C spot, I will kill myself. Dwight Howard has deserves every chance in the world to start at the C spot for the All-Star game, I don't care how the votes go.

Maybe it's because I don't Piston basketball much and I mostly just watch the highlights on ESPN.
I pretty much agree with the first post except for a few bench changes. This year it seems that the starters have pretty much distanced themselves from the rest.

Thanks for reminding me though. I was going off that rule that a top 5 point guard in the NBA and the leader of the best team in the East should make the All-Star game... sorry though.
yes cause if you look at Dirk and B.Davis' stats they are similar.PPG both over 21 ppg, Dirk has the 10 rebs, Davis nearly 9 asts, Davis has the better D, and the only reason why I picked Dirk over him is cause of his outstanding 3 pt range and the fact his team is much better.I mean just look what Baron Davis has on his team and look what Nowitzki has, I mean I feel bad for Davis cause he deserves to go to the game.Thats why I said just over, cause look at Davis' stats to Dirk's and look at the coach Davis has now that is why I think he is that outstanding.

To say that Baron Davis is right up there with Dirk Nowitzki, because the points/assists stats are similar to the points/rebounds stats is friggen absurd. I'm sorry, but damn that pisses me off.How about considering these things, nynj2k7:- Dallas currently has the best record in the NBA.- Dirk is a top 5 player in the NBA.- Baron Davis is not even as deserving as Chris Paul or Deron Williams... or Tony Parker.I could go on and on with a list of things like that, but I won't because it will only make me more heated, and it will be wasting my time. I'll say one thing before I end this post, and it sums it all up perfectly:If you think Baron Davis can even be mentioned in the same sentence... no wait, the same BOOK... as Dirk Nowitzki, then you don't know what you are talking about. Watch games, not GameCast.
