NBA All-Star Reserves


I don't mean to just pile on an entry on top of Besse's, but with the All-Star reserves in the NBA being announced tonight I thought I would name the players I felt were deserving. Each conference must have on their bench 2 guard, 2 forwards, 1 center, and then 2 whatever you're feelin'.

First in the Eastern Conference:

Starters: G Jason Kidd, G Dwayne Wade, F Kevin Garnett, F LeBron James, C Dwight Howard.
Don't really have any problems here. Take a look at the backcourt though with their combined 28 wins.

G Chauncey Billups (17.9 pts., 7.1 assists)
G Joe Johnson (21.2 pts., 4.4 rebs., 5.3 assists)
F Paul Pierce (20.1 pts., 5.7 rebs., 5 assists)
F Caron Butler (21.9 pts., 7 rebs., 4.3 assists)
C Chris Bosh (22.7 pts., 9.1 rebs.)*

F Antawn Jamison (21.4 pts., 10.6 rebs.)
F Josh Smith (18 pts., 8.1 rebs., 3.2 blocks)


*I know Chris Bosh is a forward, I'm p! utting him in as a center. Other very deserving players include Richard Hamilton, Ray Allen, Jose Calderon, Michael Redd, Richard Jefferson, and Hedo Turkoglu.
Western Conference:

Starters: G Kobe Bryant, G Allen Iverson, F Carmelo Anthony, F Tim Duncan, C Yao Ming.
How Chris Paul is not starting is beyond me. Fan voting is for the birds. My subs are…

G Chris Paul (20.8 pts., 3.9 rebs., 10.7 assists)
G Steve Nash (17.4 pts., 11.9 asts., 48% 3FG)
F Carlos Boozer (22.4 pts., 10.6 rebs., 55% FG)
F Dirk Nowitzki (22.3 pts., 8.6 rebs.)
C Marcus Camby (9.3 pts., 14.3 rebs., 3.9 blocks)

F/C Amare Stoudemire (22.7 pts., 9 rebs., 59.5% FG)
G Baron Davis (22.3 pts., 4.8 rebs., 8.1 assists)


Just missing the cut: Brandon Roy (he needs to be there somehow), Deron Williams, Josh Howard, Stephen Jackson, Shawn Marion, Chris Kamen, and Tyson Chandler.!

We'll have to wait and see until tonigh! t who th e coaches pick.
