Do AI & AMARE deserve starting bids? The others I don't question.

Did anyone else hear Reggie Miller on TNT during the game when they were talking about the All Stars?

I know he doesn't get a vote, it's just his opinion, but he doesn't think guys that are on really bad teams should be in the All Star Game.

He mentioned that since the Lakers have the best record in the West, they should get or have 3 representatives from their team........he said, Bynum...and then said why can't Bynum be in the All Star game.....

I personally agree...........Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum!

I highly doubt Bynum will get in, but nice to dream!

He did mention that he thought there were 3 other players that deserved to start over A.I. he mentioned Joe Johnson, Vince Carter, and Mo Williams......

Bynum was 3rd on west centers. Since Shaq is surely going to be chosen, he still has a chance if coaches want to have a 3rd center on the roster. Slim chances BTW, they will probably choose another PF like West. Fortunately for him and Pau, Boozer and Camby are injured and Elton Brand moved East.

Gasol looks a secure spot since Artest, Carmelo and Nowitzki doesn't really deserve to be over Pau because of mediocre season.
Carmelo surely has Billups over representing the Nuggets success, Artest is doing ok but nothing really flashy and the NBA organization doesn't like his image very much for such a commercial game. Nowitzki will probably be in with Pau gasol, a great chance to make two european countries happy.
