Paul, Nash, Roy, Boozer, Nowitzki, Gasol, Stoudemire, along with Iverson, Kobe, Anthony, Garnett, Duncan make up the West All-Star line-up.
Zhang Yang counted, the top three from the East occupy 7 of the 12 East All-Star spots!
Meanwhile, on the West side, the top three teams, Lakers, Suns, and Hornets, only have 5 players in the All-Star.
And the overall quality of the West All-Star line-up is noticeably higher than that of the East. Even players like Deron, who averages 20+10, Roy who's keeping the Trail Blazers' playoff hopes alive, Baron Davis with over 50 wins with the Warriors, and McGrady holding the Rockets together... were not selected.
No wonder it's called the wild West!
For the rookie game, Millsap was selected for the sophomore team, but for the first time since the team's establishment, no rookie was selected.
Afflalo showed great potential, but his immediate performance was lacking, and Alan Anderson's current performance was consistently better.
