Your NBA All-Star Starters..

The NBA All-Star starters have been announced for the East and West squad to compete at the All Star game in Vegas this February.

Here are the respective squads:

Eastern Conference Starters:
Gilbert Arenas (G) Washington Wizards
Dwyane Wade (G) Miami Heat
Lebron James (F) Cleveland Cavs
Chris Bosh (F) Toronto Raptors
Shaquille O'Neal (C) Miami Heat

Western Conference: Starters
Kobe Bryant (G) LA Lakers
Tracy McGrady (G) Houston Rockets
Yao Ming (C) Houston Rockets
Tim Duncan (F) SA Spurs
Kevin Garnett (F) Minnesota Timberwolves

Congrats to all the winners..Amazingly, Gilbert Arenas came on strong to beat out a perennial fan-favorite for many years, Vince Carter. Vince came in 3rd right behind Agent 0 and D-Wade. Also of note, Yao Ming has made the team, but will most likely be replaced by Amare Stoudamire. The West coach is Mike D'Antoni of the Phoenix Suns, while the East coach is "TBD" which means the East coach will probably not be announced til about the week of the All-star game..

Reserves coming in the next few weeks, as voted on by coaches. Some likely additions may be Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, Caron Butler in the East. Steve Nash, Shawn Marion in West, as well as Dirk Nowitski, Melo and/or AI and maybe Josh Howard..stay tuned for these..
