Yao Ming has one of the largest populations worldwide so no doubt about it that he gets voted even if he is injured (he shouldn't have made it on the ballot though, I don't think people would be smart enough to write him in).

I think the East makes sense, and showcases the East's true talent. I think Rose has been playing amazing and with Rondo coming off the bench, thats pretty unstoppable.

West makes no sense to me overall, I know that Carmelo has such a high voting percentage since he has such a large fan base, but to me he should be coming off the bench. Chris Paul has been playing well this year, but I don't think hes outplayed D-Will, Westbrook, or Monta Ellis at his time at PG.

To me it should look a little something like this, as if it were a depth chart:

PG: Deron Williams/Russell Westbrook/Chris Paul
SG: Kobe Bryant/Monta Ellis/Manu Ginobili
SF: Kevin Durant/Carmelo Anthony
PF: Blake Griffin/Kevin Love/Dirk Nowtizki (He was injured for a while this season)
C: NeNe (You can't expect Carmelo to do everything/Pau Gasol/Tim Duncan/

It'd be an odd team chemistry-wise, but I think it'd be a pretty sweet line up and showcases the most talented in the West without the fan vote.

Why would Nene start over Gasol/Duncan? :/

Because he's playying better...duh

@Khalifa, Nene has been playing well and is a dominant center only guy so it'd be fitting to him. Both Gasol/Duncan play a lot of PF as well, so I just thought that Nene would be a better start.

@Bulls N' Bears, well I do see him leaving, but the Nuggets [like you said] are asking way to much for him and I think that'll factor into him leaving. I have a feeling it'll be a pretty late deadline trade, could see it going into the last day where a trade is finally made.
