East:

AI
Wade
Lebron
Garnett
Howard

West:

CP3
Kobe
Amare
Duncan
Yao

i personally voted for harris over AI, bosh over garnett, dirk over amare and al jefferson over Yao. But at least chris paul made it as a starter this year, i was afraid tmac was going to get the nod so thankfully the fans weren't as stupid in that sense

I was surprised as well. He almost made it. I'm just a little shocked that Harris wasn't named as well, but hopefully he gets named by the coaches.

No Devin Harris, wtf is that?

Yao vs Yi again would have been fun.

Jamal Crawford (GS) 665,038;
Rafer Alston (Hou) 550,199;
Brandon Roy (Por) 468,688;

Travesty, but atleast the coaches get to fill Roy in to his rightful spot.

Iverson shouldnt be an all-star, I really wont argue with the others. If you go on how a players playing and their stats alone, regardless of how bad their team is, there are a couple players that ha ve a strong argument. You could make the argument for Danny Granger over Garnett based on his numbers. You could also make a case for Dirk or Durant over either forward in the West. I think a number of gaurds should be starting over Iverson, Ray Allen, Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Jameer Nelson, Ben Gordon.

Brandon Roy, Devin Harris, David Lee...the list goes on. Unfortunately without the tier one stars playing in the all-star game most people wont watch so the fan vote is more important to the NBA

AI starting is a joke. I was really hoping D Rose would sneak in, but I wasn't expecting it.

I think East wins big

I agree

But at least the coaches gave Roy some love and gave him is rightful due and spot. Since Brandon Roy is our true team leader and ''C'' for Captain on the team.

It just a shame that Wed night's ball game we couldn't pull out the win over James. But Aldridge shooting 8-20 in FGM-A and Roy shooting 8-23 in FGM-A won't get it done with a team like the Cavs. But we played hard and fought with 6 Ties and and 7 Lead Changes we just couldn't get over the hump. With Lebron and Mo Williams going for 14-30 FGM-A and 12-19 FGM-A

Onto Saturday's game though vs. The Wizards :D

AI making it is people still relishing AI's glory days back in Phili, this is 2009 not 1999. Danny Granger getting robbed isn't a surprise, Brandon Roy will make the coaches pick team, cause until Kobe retires the two SG spots in the west are the hardest to come by. Chris Paul was obvious, but Devin Harris not making the East team sucks cause he earned that spot, just not as popular as the other guys. Now who is going to make up the bench for the West? Maybe.... Brandon Roy Manu Ginoboli Dirk Nowitzki (Either Pau Gasol or Lamarcus Aldrige) Maybe Carmelo Anthony Marcus Camby has been a beast, but he is injured so who knows Tony Parker most likely East... Danny Granger Derrick Rose Jamear Nelson Paul Pierce Turkgaloe or however you spell his name Devin Harris

Amare doesn't deserve to be in the game (and I'm a Suns fan), his game this whole year has been atrocious.

It's not his game, it's Porter's offense. Amare's talent didn't disappear over night, the system changed. That is also the reason why Shaq is that good again.

that is the truth. They changed the whole system just for shaq's slow ass. Amare is still a beast but the new system is basically killing the suns. Amare and Nash just dont forget how to play basketball like that.

Yeah, I think that's the only really bad one on this list. Every year you see one or two folks who make it because casual fans are remembering the last few years rather than paying attention to what someone has done THIS SEASON.

I think you're going to see just about every guy out there coasting, ignoring defense, shooting a lot of threes and doing a lot of alley-oops for the first three and a half quarters (with certain maniacally competitive people like KG, Kobe and AI being the exceptions) and then for the last six minutes of the fourth quarter, if it is at all close, you're going to see their competitive instincts kick in and both teams play like it is the last game of the finals.

Yup thats usually how it is every year.. I hope West wins and I hope T-Mac can get in at reserve behind Chris Paul

How Amare got more votes then Dirk Nowitziki is beyond me!! Dirk has been playing way better this year then Amare!! I hate the whole All Star voting!! Just a popularity contest and if you think differently just look at how many vote Yi from China got when he isn't that good and doesn't even start!
