When you think about NBA all star games, most people think about one thing: Kobe vs. Lebron. Each team is stacked with the best players from the league, yet all we care about is Kobe and Lebron. We have yet to see a Kobe-Lebron playoff series, so we have to settle for all star games. This year though, with Carmelo Anthony putting up outstanding numbers this year, and Tim Duncan playing silent but steady, as always, Lebron and Kobe may have to share the spotlight a little. Before I share with you who I think is going to win the MVP award, and what team will win, let me give you a run down on the starting players for each team.
WEST
PG-Steve Nash: This former two time MVP has been dominating the point guard spot for a long time, he will be very valuable to the Western All Stars because while most All Stars have to shoot to be effective, Steve Nash is an amazing at setting up his teammates.
SG-Kobe Bryant: Widely considered to be the best overall player in the NBA, Kobe will be one of the biggest parts on this All-Star West team.
SF-Carmelo Anthony: This year is probably the best of Anthony's seven year career and it has been spectacular, he currently leads the NBA in points per game, and is cempeting for the MVP award.
PF-Tim Duncan: It's been a long time since this guy wasn't voted into an All Star game. The defense that he brings to the West will tough to counter. He averages nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds a game, which easily makes him all star caliber.
C-Amar'e Stoudemire: This guy isn't normally a center, but he will probably make a smooth adjustment. With the skills he brings to the table.
That's it for this post. Expect a preview of the East starters, the dunk contest participants, and my predicted outcome of the all star game and dunk contest.
