All Star Game strating linups have been anounced. The superman-slam dunker, Dwight Howard set the record for most all star votes ever received ( 3,150,181). That being said, the East linup is:
EAST***
PG-Allen Iverson
SG-Dwyane Wade
SF-Lebron James
PF-Kevin Garnett
C-Dwight Howard
WEST***
PG-Chris Paul
SG-Kobe Bryant
F-Amar'e Stoudemire
F-Tim Duncan
C-Yao Ming
These starting linups do not reflect the real All-Stars in the NBA. To start things off, Allen Iverson's game has been slowing down the last couple years. His teammate Rodney Stuckey is more deserving than AI himself, but the real All-Star PG in the East is Devin Harris. Any claim saying that Rajon Rondo should be there is oblivious. Devin Harris averages around 22 ppg and 6.4 assists. His scoring was higher until his tailbone injury occurred, also, his +/- is 5 points higher than AI's. This stat is very important, but that is for another time. I have another problem with the NBA pretending that Tim Duncan is a forward, he is not and never will be. All other players in the linups are worthy. Next item to discuss about the All-Star game is the reserves. Thoughts in comments.....
