*= I'm guessing Hurt.I thought Melo made the team because those two wont be able to play.

 

have they decided hu will replace yao and booz yet? and y do the west only got 6 on the bench?

 

He forgot to add Marion there.

 

Wow, the West' team is so much stronger....They definitely have the advantage downlow. These games are always hard to predict though, because you dont know how much effort some of the players might put in. By looking at the rosters though, I think the west has a huge advantage.

 

Remember Air Jordan 20 years ago? He?s Vintage Already! Word on the street is that Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Co. and Nike have teamed up to recreate the jersey MJ wore in the 1987 Slam Dunk competition, commemorating the 20th anniversary of his first slam dunk title when he took off from the foul line and bested Dominique Wilkins.The authentic vintage jersey is a ?87 Chicago Bulls road red with MJ?s #23 in black font. Apparently the jersey will be manufactured to the exact specification of the original and will include special labeling to reflect the order in which it was produced?.only be 500 of these bad boys will be made.According to CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell?s blog? ?they come encased in a white handmade wooden collector's box with faux lizard skin interior. The jersey will be unveiled next week in Las Vegas -- the site of the NBA All-Star Game -- and will be sold in 23 selected outlets, including the NBA Store in New York City and various Niketown outlets.?Wow, this is also the first time a non-Nike product will be feature in Niketown outlets.

 

Now you have to add Josh Howard and Carmelo Anthony.Is Iverson not going to play? I've heard on ESPN that he wasn't going to.

It'll be cool to see AI in a west uniform, but it'll seem kinda odd though. Ya Melo better be a replacement for him. He's been playing great this year, but the Nuggets have been struggling.

 

Yeh Carmelo Anthony is in the All star game replacing *Boozer*.

 

Iverson? wtf..Melo and Howard are replacing Boozer and Yao.

 

I'll get to watch this live, I'm excited as hell, it starts at 1 am, and I don't have school Monday...Sweet.

 

Whoever decides who replaces allen iverson and nash better put ray in there or their just plain stupid.

 

So many people are sitting out this game. Steve Nash, Yao Ming, Allen Iverson, Carlos Boozer, and Jason Kidd.That's 5 people sitting out, I suspect that's a record.

Well obviously... I wasn't trying to say they were sitting out because they didn't feel like playing.

 

Okay, Mr Commisioner. Can we get a little respect for Ben Gordon? He averages 21 points off the bench which is unheard of.

 

Should be a fun game. I hope Amare and Marion do something highlight-worthy in a West blowout.

 

Hope this will be a good game. The 3 point shootout, dunk contest and all wasn't very good.

 

This should be entertaining. It will mostly be flashy bullsh**, but hey; that is fun to watch when you get 10 of the NBA's best players on the same court at the same time.

 

I have a feeling lebron and melo will dominate. dwight howard will be quiet and just get a few offensive boards
