Well I'm glad for once McGrady doesn't have the lead ahead of Chris Paul, his popularity remains high, but he doesn't deserve it this year. Looks like Yao might be the only one headed to the game, unless Ron Artest plays some outstanding basketball, and gets voted in by the coaches. It all depends on him and how our team is doing I guess.

- McGrady will no longer be an all-star. He's lost a lot of support since last season and will continue to do so.
- Yi Jian Lian... what a joke. LOL
- Good to see my boy Meer ahead of Derrick Rose. But strange enough, Ridnour is ahead of both.

The guards in the eastern conference are just BAD outside of Wade. I'd rather have Carter in the all star game over Allen Iverson.

Why in the hell is Battier over Scola?

Devin Harris is getting snubbed badly.

Well, he IS better than Scola :) Why is Bowen ahead of both he and Battier though? 3 ppg on 38% 3p shooting omg!

Artest CAN be argued, but as of right now McGrady is a no-no. Especially not over Melo.

Honestly, man, Yao doesn't play well enough to deserve the top Center spot in the West.
Yao has more down's than up's.

Are you seriously gonna suggest Kaman?

Shaq maybe. He's surprised me this year.

Andrew Bynum, Mehmet Okur, Nene Hilario

No, maybe, no, but could definitely see him or Okur as a backup.

Shaq's still having a better season than those guys.

Not to mention Al Jefferson also. Even though he is on a bad team is is dropping 21 and 10 a night. Just imagine if he was on a good team.

Usually, your numbers go down if you're playing for a better team.

There's no contest right now. Yao Ming is the best center in the west.
