All-Star Starters Announced!

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Here are the All-Star 2009 Starters

Western Conference
Tim Duncan
Amare Stoudemire
Yao Ming
Kobe Bryant
Chris Paul

Eastern Conference
Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Dwight Howard
Allen Iverson
Dwyane Wade

I was actually happy to see Chris Paul and Amare Stoudemire in the lineup, well deserving players. CP3 beats TMac’s chinese voters while Amare beats Melo and especially Bruce Bowen.. WTH!!?? Bruce Bowen are you kidding me?!!

Forwards: Tim Duncan (SA) 2,578,168; Amare Stoudemire (Pho) 1,460,429; Bruce Bowen (SA) 1,392,398; Ron Artest (Hou) 1,362,565; Carmelo Anthony (Den) 1,337,519; Dirk Nowitzki (Dal) 1,107,926; Pau Gasol (LAL) 948,301; Shane Battier (Hou) 694,112; LaMarcus Aldridge (Por) 497,550; Luis Scola (Hou) 405,851; Josh Howard (Dal) 298,810.

Thats right, Bruce Bowen came third in the Western Forwards.. How the hell did that happen?! Maybe fans wanted to see some D played in All Star, maybe San Antonio fans unite themselves and everyone voted for Bowen, maybe some die hard Bowen fan payed a hacker run internet bots to make a script that will vote for Bowen.. I guess we’ll wait and see..
