The Nation

Recommended Posts

Here are my predictions for the 2008 NBA All-Stars. There are quite a few noticable snubs, all because there is no room at that position, i.e. Western Point Guards. First five players are the starters as chosen by the fans.

DWIGHT HOWARD ORL C

KEVIN GARNETT BOS F

LEBRON JAMES CLE F

DWYANE WADE MIA G

JASON KIDD NJ PG

Dunk Contest:

Jamario Moon (someone said he's confirmed)

Gerald Green (defend)

Rudy Gay (hopefully? a lot of 2nd year guys)

Tyrus Thomas or Monta Ellis

Skills Challenge:

Dwyane Wade

Steve Nash

Lebron James

Ballhog Bryant

You're missing one in 3-point shooting, so I'll add Michael Redd. Rookie-Sophomore looks good

Honestly, I think you've got it with the All-Stars, except I might swap Baron and Kevin Martin. I'd also move Bosh up to be a starter, because he's been getting a surge with his campaign video.

Kind of surprised by Carmelo. Anyway, these are just the fans' votes. It's the coaches' votes that you need to watch for... because the fans are idiots and pick the same people every year regardless of performance...

Also, dunk contest participants were announced, and I was off by one.

Jamario Moon

Rudy Gay

Gerald Green

Monta Ellis Dwight Howard
