The East line-up: Vince Carter* Toronto Allen Iverson* Philadelphia Tracy McGrady* Orlando Jermaine O'Neal* Indiana Ben Wallace* Detroit Zydrunas Ilgauskas Cleveland Michael Jordan Washington Jason Kidd New Jersey Jamal Mashburn New Orleans Brad Miller Indiana Paul Pierce Boston Antoine Walker Boston * = Starter And the West: Shaquille O'Neal Lakers Stephon Marbury Phoenix Shawn Marion Phoenix Steve Nash Dallas Dirk Nowitzki Dallas Yao Ming * Houston Steve Francis* Houston Kobe Bryant * Lakers Kevin Garnett * Minnesota Tim Duncan * San Antonio Gary Payton Seattle Chris Webber Sacramento * = Starter Chris Webber will likely be replaced since he sprained an ankle last night. Any other thoughts or debates? Who, besides Vince Carter, shouldn't be on there? Do the reserves deserve more respect since they are picked by the NBA Coaches? Who should've made it but didn't?

Peja filled Webber's spot today. I would have given it to Brand, compare their lines: Brand: FG% - .491 - STL - 1.05 - BLK - 2.6 - TO - 2.7 - OFF 4.4 - DEF - 7.0 - TOT - 11.4 - AST - 2.4 - PTS - 18.2 Peja: FG% - .460 - STL - 1.05 - BLK - 0.1 - TO - 1.4 - OFF 0.8 - DEF - 4.7 - TOT - 5.5 - AST - 2.2 - PTS - 18.0 Brand is being penalized for playing an a crappy team.
