Steve Nash - PHO - G:
19.1 ppg - 11.3 apg - 42.2 3pt%
The reigning NBA MVP is starting in the All-Star Game for the first time in his career. It seems like just about everybody on the Suns is having a career year and a lot of that can be attributed to the play of Steve Nash, who is one of six Phoenix Suns with career highs in scoring this year. |

26.8 ppg - 6.9 rpg - 6.9 apg

26.7 ppg - 7.1 rpg - 5.0 apg
Somewhat hobbled by injuries this year, Tracy McGrady is still among the NBA's top scorers and is one of the best rebounding guards in the league. |

31.0 ppg - 6.9 rpg - 6.4 apg
The top pick in the 2003 draft is making his second straight start in the All-Star Game. LeBron James is scoring more than 30 points per game and is shooting a fantastic percentage from the field. James looks to carry the Cavs to the playoffs for the first time in ten years. |

35.7 ppg - 5.5 rpg - 4.3 apg
Kobe Bryant is putting together the best offensive season since Michael Jordan in 1986-87. He has broken the 60-point barrier twice, including an 81-poing effort against the Toronto Raptors. He is still an excellent defender and is basically willing the Los Angeles Lakers into the playoffs. |
Jermaine O'Neal - IND - F:
20.9 ppg - 9.8 rpg - 2.1 blks
Jermaine O'Neal is having another solid season as one of the top power forwards in the NBA, but he will miss the All-Star Game with a groin tear that should keep him out of action until the end of February. |

Tim Duncan - SAS - F:
19.9 ppg - 11.6 rpg - 2.0 blks

Shaquille O'Neal - MIA - C:
19.3 ppg - 9.5 rpg - 1.5 blks
Statistically, Shaquille O'Neal is having the worst season in his 14-year career, but much of that can be attributed to less playing time as the Miami Heat try to keep the big man healthy for the playoffs. He is still the most dominant centre in the NBA and can put up a lot of points in a big hurry. |

19.8 ppg - 9.2 rpg - 1.3 blks
