Looks like a solid list of reserves on both sides... I wished Gasol got the starting Center spot instead of Yao, considering he's doing a lot better. I'm glad the reserves from Boston got the spots. They aren't playing starter-worthy seasons, but it's good they're being noticed. Same with Ginobili & Duncan in the West. Also glad Blake's being named a rookie All-Star for his amazing season so far. Hope it's a good game. I think the East will take the Win, personally.

Kevin Love got snubbed so bad. He better be Yao's replacement.

It was disappointing not seeing Love in the line-up. I didn't see him as a starter, although seeing the shortage of Western Centers, it's a let down. I would've said Pau starting, and Love, Duncan, and Dirk on the bench..... I'm still trying to figure out what Yao's doing on the list haha.

the centers on the west are weak. I'd rather have big baby on my team then Gasol hes too soft.

man i totally agree with nadaeu, how do you avereage over 20 pts & lead the league in rebounding by a full 2 rebounds a game & not make it... no matter how bad your team is

It's a shame Dirk never subbed as a Center too, ya know? I think he would've fit in better than anyone else on the bench..

Hope Kevin Love will be selected as a starter, replacing Yao. Love was listed as a forward-center although he is really not a center. He deserves it.

But I'm sure for just the All-Star game, he could perform as a Center better than Yao has in several years.

A lot of players deserve to be All-Stars this year. Glad D-Will got the nod :)

I wish Joakim hadn't gotten hurt, he would have definitely gotten the nod over Horford.
