I agree. Who should start at PG for the east?
Now the Gilbert is gone I think Rondo could acctually be considered a legitimet contender for the starting PG
I know A.I is starting but…. well he sucks.
I'd start Joe Johnson
… but Rondo is best point guard in the East.

KG should not play,
KG doesnt deserve to be an All Star this year, so is A.I. and T-Mac. Other starters definitely deserved.
Agree
The NBA All-Star game is a joke. Without any stipulations, Iverson and his poor attitude can hop scotch around the league and still get voted in. T. Mac is a great player but does a player really deserve to be an All-Star when they haven’t even worn the new off their sneakers?
Ground rules need to be set or start letting the players and coaches vote. The All-Star balloting, as it is now and has been, is crap.
Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
it should be.. rondo, wade, lebron, bosh, howard in the east.. the west i think you cant argue any of the starters
Since you pick two "guards", rather than a point guard...
I’d start Johnson, Wade, Lebron, Bosh, and Howard

totally agree too
Bosh for K.G. and Rondo for AI. WTF AI??? Whats going on here, first nobody will sign him and after that he becomes an all star again? Thats disgusting, sry .
I asked god and he said: L.A. will lose again next year!! ^_°
Congrats KG
Didn’t really deserve it, but I sign of respect I guess. Sorry to Bosh.
13 out of 14 for KG now… not bad.
glad to see Nash got in over McGrady!
well deserved
dont deserve it.
kg did not play enough games to be in the game and iverson please what is the n.b.a. doing hey kg rub some aspercreem on your knee and get back in there hey it works for shaq ..
I hope he doesn't play
Why risk injury to play in a meaningless game?
Absolutely agree
That Iverson is in it, let alone starting, makes this game a mockery of what is already a meaningless exhibition. Garnett doesn’t belong in it, period.
Let our players rest.

heheh
Well, if KG was able to be voted in as an All-Star starter, people can’t say the league is totally against us (apart from the refs of course).
And yeah, Bosh should be starting.
Iverson deserves it as much as KG does...
KG isn’t close to an all-star this year. He has missed a lot of time, his numbers aren’t great….
AI deserves nothing
He has a poor attitude and his presence disrupts a teams chemistry. Read the following artice:
Grizzlies’ forecast brightened after A.I. left
He’s taking away an all-star spot from another more deserving player in the league. Iverson just needs to go home and take care of his family.
Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!
I think KG should skip the allstar game
and just stay home and rest and heal up some more.
The game is not important, but he ones in the spring will.
Numbers don't mean nothing
KG is a defensive player…he is by far the best defensive power forward in the league..If he were still in MN where he’d have had to take lots of shots, his number could have been lot better. IMO he deserved to be an all star.
