NBA All Star Picks
Tags:
update Upon further consideration, I'd pick Stephon Marbury to be the West PG. I'm not gonna ballot-stuff and vote again, though.
Here are my votes for the 2004 NBA All Star game:
East
PF – Jermaine O'Neal
SF – Ron Artest
C – Ben Wallace
PG – Baron Davis
SG – Allen Iverson
West
PF – Tim Duncan
SF – Kevin Garnett
C – Shaquille O'Neal
PG – Emanuel Ginobili Stephon Marbury
SG – Kobe Bryant
What's weird, though, is that the ballot is way out of date. They have Antoine Walker listed as a Celtic, but he was traded before the season even began.
Go ahead and diss the Manu pick; he's had a great half-season. If I had to pick someone else, though, it'd be Stephon Marbury.
Ginobili over Nash at PG? Bibby? Even Payton? Questionable, Joey.

Nash: 14.4 ppg 3.1 rpg 7.8 apg 0.7 spg
Payton: 13.9 ppg 3.4 rpg 6.6 apg 1.6 spg
Bibby: 16.8 ppg 3.5 rpg 5.5 apg 1.0 spg
Yes, I know stats aren't everything but I don't think it's so outlandish, though he's not really a PG. I've changed my mind and gone with Marbury, though:
Marbury 20.3 ppg 3.4 rpg 8.4 apg 1.8 spg

I also find it funny that they're still listing Ben Wallace at C.
