    Not surprising.

    Whether he thinks he's worthy or not, the fans voted him in. His individual game is too good.

    His stat line proves that he's worthy. 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5.7 assists.

    I honestly thought he wasnt gonna get a start... Everyone seems so up about Iverson.. That i thought it was gonna be Kidd/Baron, Iverson, Carter, O'Neal, Wallace.. But since they moved Iverson to the point(why on earth).. It opened up life for McGrady..

    Whether or not he wanted to, there's no denying he is one of the best damn players in the league, especially offensively. Plus he's great at boarding as well. He can be pretty unstoppable on the offensive end when he wants to be and is perfectly capable of burying people alive with a great cast. Much like Randolph and Sheed, he needs a better cast if he's gonna get any farther then the playoffs.

    I'm not suprised he made the starting line up. I'm suprised he had the fewest votes. That was a real shox to me. Anyway he deserves the spot whether he wants it or not.

    Not suprising in the least, but didn't he say he didn't want to be an All Star this year?

    Yeah, he wanted to rest. But he has no choice now.

    I think he said that he didn't feel he was worthy of being an all-star, with his teams record and that he would rather just rest.

    He is definetely worthy. Actually he didn't have the fewest votes of the starters because Shaq is among the top 10 and he's not starting. He got more votes than Franchise.

    Zerotoone, it's not voted on by specific position. It's just the top 2 guards, top 2 forwards and top center. So you could have 2 shooting guards or 2 point guards starting.

    He is definetely worthy. Hopefully he can add some more show to the all-star game like he did 2 years ago.

    Yeah I am sure it dosnt matter what postion they play, as long as it says Center, Guard, Forward, Whatever.. Its just a game for the fans anyway, it has no significance.

    True. If your flashy, you'll be voted(everyone's flashy except Big Ben, I wonder how he got that many votes).
