I can't believe the season is nearing the half-way point, fast approaching the All-Star game with great trepidation. There was no doubt in my mind that Gilbert Arenas would be starting. He's the second leading scorer in the league at 29.7 points per game. It's going to be a young lineup for the East which includes Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Shaq. The West is made up of a veteran squad: Kobe Byrant, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, and Yao Ming (currently injured). Several star names got snubbed from the reserve list. It happens every year so it's not a real surprise.
As far as stats go, Shaq didn't actually earn a spot as a starter. I think Dwight Howard should have got the nod since he's being having a sensational first half of the season. If the Magic don't make the playoffs it won't be his fault. Out of everyone, Lebron James received the most votes from fans with 2.5 million. The All-Star game and festivities will be held in Las Vegas. There is sure to be so outrageous betting go on then. People will being going home flat broke after the game or before if they hit the casinos early. I'm pulling for the East because the Lebron is my favorite player and he and Wade are leading the youthful charge of explosive talent. All-Star weekend is no doubt going to be slamming!
