Shaq should not be a starter.

its a popularity contest. Howard should be the starting C.

He's not really a center.

ZO should make the team as a backup C....

 

[Alex44]

Funny how the west has the best teams but the east is going to beat them down.....

He switches back and forth. But he the best big man in the east.

Not gonna argue that, Howard is a beast.

I agree with Section saying Zo should be a backup though.

You have to take a look at the bench before you make that decision.

well that's fine if you want to say that he's not really a center. But there's no way in hell Shaq should be the starter. Amars is right, it's a popularity contest with some of these guys.

Nash is not starting.

San Antonio’s Tim Duncan (1,436,584), who has been selected to every All-Star team since he entered the league in 1997, and Minnesota’s Kevin Garnett (1,616,575), who captured All-Star MVP honors in 2003, will be the starting forwards.

nice to see Bosh get some recognition.

Dirk should have the honor of starting. He's the MVP. Shaq obviously doesn't belong as a starter, but that is what happens when the fans determine starters, which I think is fine.

No kidding where is Dirk

nash and dirk not starting are crackpipe quality stupidity. You have the guys who are probably 1-2 in the mvp race and theyre not starting. This is the exact reason fans should not be allowed to vote or should only have a partial vote.
