UPDATED: 2005 NBA All-Star squad announced
It's unfortunate that this is a popularity contest rather than having the best players go at it, but oh well. I'm gonna post the line-ups as of January 20th & I'd like to see who you guys think should be the real starters. Remember, it doesn't go by PG/SG or SF/PF. It's just G & F. Voting ends tomorrow. I'm not sure how many players make it(I know it's something like 10-12, but I'll just go with 1 backup per position). However, the coaches pick the backups, and they won't be as dumb as the fans by taking Melo over Amare.
The current starting line-ups, which will likely be the final ones:
East:
1-Allen Iverson/Dwyane Wade
2-LeBron James/Steve Francis
3-Vince Carter/Rasheed Wallace
4-Grant Hill/Jermaine O'Neal
5-Shaquille O'Neal/Ben Wallace
West:
1-Tracy McGrady/Steve Nash
2-Kobe Bryant/Ray Allen
3-Kevin Garnett/Carmelo Anthony
4-Tim Duncan/Dirk Nowitzski
5-Yao Ming/Brad Miller
How it should be, IMO:
East:
1-Allen Iverson/Stephon Marbury
2-Dwyane Wade/Steve Francis
3-LeBron James/Grant Hill
4-Jermaine O'Neal/Antwan Jamison
5-Shaquille O'Neal/Ben Wallace
West:
1-Steve Nash/Kobe Bryant
2-Tracy McGrady/Ray Allen
3-Kevin Garnett/Dirk Nowitzski
4-Tim Duncan/Amare Stoudemire
5-Yao Ming/Brad Miller
Gilbert Arenas is making a case for himself over Francis, but his assist numbers for a PG is pathetic. The All-Star system was officially F'ed up when they listed LeBron James at guard.
