The Squads

‘Tis the season for picking all-stars. To make my starting lineup, the player must have appeared in at least 40 games. I want no part of players who have spent a significant chunk of the season in business-casual. That means Carmelo Anthony, Michael Redd, Yao, and Lamar Odom don’t make the cut. There’s a case to be made for Antawn Jamison. Problem is, I don’t think any team in the East should have three players in the game, especially when Phoenix and Dallas only have two.

What do you think?

WEST STARTERS

G: Steve Nash
G:
Kobe Bryant

Kevin Garnett

Wade hasn't played 40 games. That's one of my criteria for making the starting lineup.
