    Yao Ming
    Andrew Bynum
    Nene
    Marc Gasol
    Emeka Okafor
    Brendan Haywood
    Marcus Camby
    Chris Kaman
    Andris Biedrins
    DeMarcus Cousins


    As you can see, not that many star centers in the west. The only two that you can considered a star is Yao and maybe Bynum. But both those players rarely played this year so I don't think they are worthy of an all-star spot. NeNe on the other hand is averaging 15 points and 7 rebound per game on a good Nuggets team, which are better stats than any other of the centers. I think he is deserving of the center spot in the west.

    I would say Bynum would be there had he played more than 22 games.

    Nene is a good pick though. And I would have absolutely no issue with him.

    Blake Griffin will be worth watching in the dunk contest.

    Why not just add Kevin Love as a F/C and solve the over crowded problem at Forward?

    Love will be on the roster as a reserve, I would assume.

    Welp...

    Stern has named Timmy as the replacement starter for Yao. No surprise here.

    Don't think Stern had anything to do with this call.

    You're right.

    Stern named the replacement for Yao, but Pop(or whoever is coaching the West that given year) gets to name a replacement starter.
