Yeah, but Detroit didn't lose OVER 65 games last year.

Well....going into the season, he was still undecided on whether he was coming back or not. Then last week, at one of his many charity functions...he mentioned he was 'satisfied with his career' and had 'very little to nothing to prove in the basketball court'. That sealed for me. Personally, I think he has a excellent chance to be a Hall of Famer immediately, once he is eligible.

I second HD.

Why Iverson is on the team is proof that sometimes, popularity is more important than production.

The other four East starters have been very PRODUCTIVE and have contributed.

In the West, I don't agree with T-Mac.

Other than T-Mac and AI, it's hard to argue with the other selections.

T-Mac wasn't selected.

Justifiably, Chris Paul beat him out.

And I also agree that Iverson shouldn't have been voted as a starter.

I think you could make an ARGUEMENT for Paul Pierce or Chris Bosh at the forward spot opposite LeBron.

But, I certainly won't argue about the KG selection.

Compared to AI, any of those guys would have been a fine choice.

Also, KG did not play in last year's game, and he wants to make up for lost time.
