Who made this list?
Here is the list of the top players that might be selected to the Allstar game. The ones in bold are my picks. Sorry, no tortilla Manu.
Ray Allen, Seattle (24.0 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 4.1 apg)
Mike Bibby, Sacramento (17.5 ppg, 6.4 apg)
Carlos Boozer, Utah (18.4 ppg, 9.2 rpg)
Elton Brand, L.A. Clippers (20.0 ppg, 9.6 rpg)
Pau Gasol, Memphis (18.9 ppg, 8.2 rpg)
Emmanuel Ginobili, San Antonio (15.9 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 1.8 spg)
Rashard Lewis, Seattle (20.6 ppg, 2.5 3pg)
Shawn Marion, Phoenix (19.4 ppg, 10.9 rpg)
Brad Miller, Sacramento (15.2 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 3.7 apg)
Tony Parker, San Antonio (15.6 ppg, 6.1 apg)
Steve Nash, Phoenix (15.5 ppg, 11.1 apg)
Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas (26.6 ppg, 9.9 rpg)
Predrag Stojakovic, Sacramento (20.3 ppg, 2.6 3pg)
Amare Stoudemire, Phoneix (25.9 ppg, 8.5 rpg)
Andrei Kirilenko, Utah (14.2 ppg, 3.9 bpg, 1.4 spg)
Who made this list?
Bibby over Nash. Not a chance.
Make your picks, doesn't look like a lock, does it? I went ahead and picked 9 of them, just to cover injuries. Oh, and by the way, for those keeping score, Vince Carter is starting for the East. Thanks picnroll, I didn't mean to pick the Bibby over the Nash.
Alot of players are averaging double doubles or close to it. Manu is not even close. It would have to be pure ESPN top 10 highlight stats to get him in. Parker is out for sure.
I think Allen, Nash, Stoudemire and Nowitzki will be in for sure.
The other three will be difficult decisions.
gino should make it. only all stars get 48 points in one game IMO
My picks:
Allen, Nash, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Lewis, Webber and Manu.
My alternates:
Marion, Parker.
I think your list is very good. It's hard to deny Rashard with the season he had on a great team and same with Nash, Allen, and Marion.
The only pick I might disagree with would be Peja. I think that Miller and maybe even Manu and Boozer might have a good case. It's a tough call.
Good point about Webber, Kori. Take Sequ's list and swap Peja with Webber and I think you've got a pretty good team of all stars.
I do hope Manu makes it, but I think he's quite borderline at this point.
The reason I pick Manu over Marion is because I don't think the Suns will get three All-Stars and the Spurs only get one.
Kori, It was off of ESPN.

All right, I was waiting for the day when Damon Stoudamire would make an All-Star game.
True. If scoring 48 points is the criteria, both Damon and Jamal Crawford are sure all stars.
For me : Parker, Nash, Nowitski, Stoudemire, Allen, Ginobili and Miller!
I know It's impossible to see 6 guard in allstar game! Bu Ireally want to see Tony and Manu together with Tim in this king of game
This is the crux. It's tough to give them three players if the best team in the league only has one. On the other hand, truthfully, Nash, Amare, and Marion are all clearly having All-Star years, while only Duncan clearly is for the Spurs.
Another thing, why does everyone pick Amare ahead of Marion? The only thing Amare does better is dunk, and that's only if Nash is in the game.
Gino is still sitting at #7 right now after you submit your vote, more than 1% over the person below him (don't remember who, sry!)
Marion is averaging a double double. That's hall of fame material, dude is going to the allstar game.
what? 3 players from Phoenix Suns?
Sorry, but it can NEVER happen. It was debated last yr when Minny topped the WC before the ASG. Some were suggesting to invite KG, Cassell, & Spree. But, they decided against it.
BTW, the Spurs is the best team in the NBA today, along with best record in the WC and over-all. THEY SHLD. invite 2. If not, I would not be surprised, afterall the Spurs players(TP/Manu),are ALWAYS been underrated.
If any other Spur gets in, it will be Manu. Phoenix is getting 3 players in. That's a done deal.
Amare averaging 25 +, Nash is a MVP candidate, and Marion has a double double. Sorry, no spur not named Duncan is close to that.
I would love for all the Spurs to make the allstar team, but its individuality and imo, none of the spurs besides duncan ranks in the top ten statistically.
Get real and take off the blindfold.
However, both Marion and Stoudemire wouldn't be nearly as good without Nash.
Sequ , you're full of .
For what it's worth, TNT analysts Magic Johnson, Kenny Smith and Chas. Barkley all had Manu Ginobili making the Western Conf. All-Star Reserves.
What are your picks Alvarez?
The All-Star game is a game of exciting plays that are typical TOP 10 PLAYS on ESPN!
Or is it about the numbers?
