    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting illistic:</div><div class="quote_post">http://www.nba.com/allstar2006/skills_060207.html

    LeBron James
    Steve Nash
    Dwyane Wade
    Chris Paul

    My money is on Nash to repeat [​IMG]</div>

    wow the star level has definetly increased form last year, when it was like nash and boykins who i remeber. Steve nash has the best chance, but their probably going to hype up the lebron v wade aspect.

    I'll take quickness any day.. Chris Paul. That is if he can hit the shots and passes.

    LeBron is too big to be here unless he is real fast.

    Isn't it crazy how last year this was llike the most overlooked event? now it has more starpower then the dunk contest or the 3 point shootout.

    you've got 4 potential MVP candidates. potential. and lebron is pretty fast.

    This is an aspect of All Star Weekend that really did not interest me. Sure I like to know who won, but it was not that important. With this years line up I will not miss it for the world. All Stars, all of them it's great!!! I think that Nash will repeat, as he has the experience over the course. LeBron is very quick for a bigger guard/forward, but may not be able to top the little guys in this one. Dwyane Wade is a really big chance of an upset because he is lightning fast and can do it all. Chris Paul is my sleeper. I think he will surprise a lot of people. He could even take it out, but does have to hit those shots.

    Wow talk about talent filled... I think anyone could win, and although being an underdog is rare for Lebron, in this event he probably is.

    Anyone could win this event, my prediction would be Nash.

    Remember that speed comes into play in this event. Last year, Earl Boykins almost pulled off the upset because of his quickness. LeBron and Wade may be good all around players but when you put the speed portion in, I think this will come down to Steve Nash and Chris Paul. I'm going to go with Paul in this one because I think he is the player that wants to win the most. When you're a rookie going against three of the NBA's top players, you're going to try your hardest to earn some respect. I think he will go into this event taking it seriously and come out with the win.
