Not necessarily... Jermaine O'Neal won't be playing, and Iverson is injured as well and might not play... Tracy McGrady wouldn't be starting if it weren't for China ... Kevin Garnett should be starting over him. If you wanted to front the real Western team, it would be Bryant McGrady Garnett Duncan Ming That's a pretty good team...

JamesUK Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I had forgotten about J O'neal being injured maybe not as strong as i thought, sheed will probably be the player picked in his place (so the guy on espn.com thinks anyway) Iverson on the otherhand will probably only miss one more game and play saturday vs Cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Five players will make their inaugural NBA All-Star appearance Four Pistons Named as Reserves for 2006 NBA All-Star Game Chauncey Billups will be passing to Richard Hamilton in the first All-Star Game for both Pistons. D. Lippitt/Einstein/NBAE/Getty Images NEW YORK, Feb. 9 -- Detroit Pistons guards Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton will be appearing in their first NBA All-Star Game, joining frontcourt teammates Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace after having been selected by the coaches as reserves for the 2006 NBA All-Star Game. This is the first time in NBA All-Star Game history that the coaches have selected four teammates as reserves and the seventh time that a team will have four representatives in the All-Star Game. The 2006 NBA All-Star Game will be played on Sunday, Feb. 19 at Toyota Center in Houston. Joining the Pistons foursome as reserves will be first-time All-Star forward Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors with forwards Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics and Vince Carter of the New Jersey Nets rounding out the Eastern reserves. Two Western Conference players are also making their initial All-Star appearance as center Pau Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies and guard Tony Parker of the 2005 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs have each been invited to Houston. Also named to the Western Conference All-Star team are guard Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics and forwards Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks, Elton Brand of the Los Angeles Clippers, Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Shawn Marion of the Phoenix Suns. The 14 players selected -- seven each from the Eastern and Western Conferences -- were chosen by the 30 NBA head coaches, who were asked to vote for seven players in their respective conferences -- two guards, two forwards, one center and two players regardless of position. They were not permitted to vote for players from their own team. Previously selected as starters for the East through the 2006 NBA All-Star Balloting Program were Cleveland’s LeBron James, Indiana’s Jermaine O'Neal, Miami’s Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade and Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson. Houston’s Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant, Phoenix’s Steve Nash and San Antonio’s Tim Duncan will start for the West. The 2005-06 Pistons joins the Celtics (1952-53, 1961-62 and 1974-75), L.A. Lakers (1961-62 and 1997-98) and Philadelphia 76ers (1982-83) as the only teams in All-Star Game history to have four players selected to play in an single All-Star Game. The selections of Gasol (Spain), Nowitzki (Germany) and Parker (France) along with voted-starters Duncan (U.S. Virgin Islands), Nash (Canada) and Yao (China), gives the 2006 NBA All-Star Game a record-tying six international players in one year. The 2003, 2004 and 2005 NBA All-Star Games each featured six international players on the rosters. Should any player be unable to participate in the All-Star Game due to injury, NBA Commissioner David Stern will select the replacement. Flip Saunders of Detroit coaches the Eastern Conference All-Stars and Avery Johnson makes his All-Star coaching debut representing the Western Conference. San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is not eligible to coach in the 2006 NBA All-Star Game because he coached in last year’s All-Star Game. The NBA All-Star Game will be televised live nationally on TNT in the United States and on Rogers Sportsnet in Canada at 7 p.m. CT/ 8 p.m. ET. Live audio broadcasts are available on ESPN Radio and on NBA.com in multiple languages. For the fourth consecutive year, NBA All-Stars will wear uniforms created just for the game. This year's All-Stars will be outfitted in new uniforms from Reebok which were inspired by the exploration of space and the Texas state flag. As has become tradition, the East will be the road team wearing predominantly royal blue uniforms accented with red and silver, while the West will be the home team wearing white uniforms with red as the featured color and royal and gold accents. The NBA logo on the jersey has been enhanced with the All-Star version and the player's team is represented with the team logo on the center back neck of the jersey. NBA.com will provide basketball fans with the opportunity to have their vote count towards selecting the MVP of the 55th NBA All-Star Game, as a part of the site's exclusive 2006 NBA All-Star coverage. Through the Balloting program, which ran from Nov. 17, 2005 through Jan. 22, fans had the opportunity to vote in NBA arenas, in 19 languages on the NBA.com Network, in approximately 130 Loews Cineplex Entertainment movie theaters in the United States and through mobile phones at t-zones using T-Mobile service or wap.nba.com for any wireless carrier. This year’s All-Star Balloting partners include T-Mobile, AOL, NBA 2K6, Xbox and retailers GameStop & Electronics Boutique. NBA All-Star 2006 is a week-long celebration that enables fans to experience the thrill of the world’s greatest athletes playing the game they love and features a full slate of community enhancing activities and fan festivals.

MaxFly Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) A lot of people are somewhat peeved that Paul Pierce made it over Gilbert Arenas, citing that winning should count for something... Let's ignore the excellent year Pierce is having so far... Why aren't these people talking about T-Mac and Yao actually starting in the All Star game?

bigted Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 There's no way 4 Pistons should be in the All-Star game, they're not gonna break the '96 Bulls with 8 losses already, they're overhyped, not even the '96 Bulls had 4 All-Stars, only Pippen and Jordan...

rcpbball30 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 While they may not break the record, I do not believe this team is overhyped, they play so well together, they are the true definition of a team, and if anything, don't get enough respect, I am glad to see four of them in the All-Star Game.
