PHOENIX-INSPIRED DESIGN
The influence of this year's host city in the design is undeniable. The horizontal lines resemble Arizona's rock formations, while the progression of color (desert red for the West, sunset blue for the East) is emblematic of the legendary bird rising from the flames.

All Star Starter have been announced, here are the starting lineups for the game:

WEST STARTERS
PG- Chris Paul
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Amare Stoudemire
PF- Tim Duncan
C- Yao Ming

EAST STARTERS
PG- Allen Iverson
SG- Dwyane Wade
SF- Lebron James
PF- Kevin Garnett
C- Dwight Howard

Reserves TBA but it looks like its going to be:

WEST RESERVES
F-Bruce Bowen (how did this happen?!?)
F-Ron Artest
G-Tracy McGrady
G-Manu Ginobili
C-Shaquille O'Neal

EAST RESERVES
F-Yi Jianlian (dammit)
F-Paul Pierce
G-Vince Carter
G-Devin Harris
C-Kendrick Perkins

All Star caliber players snubbed this year:

EAST PLAYERS
Chris Bosh
Hedo Turkoglu
Danny Granger
Tayshaun Prince
Ray Allen

+1

Yi should never make it to the all star game. Yao at least has earned it.

Who's the worst player ever to be voted in as an All-Star starter? I'm gonna take a huge jump here and say that Yi would probably replace him, whoever he is.
