With Jermain O'Neal out Rasheed is the next in line. Ben Wallace is already a strong candidate for backup center. Billups is most-likely in and Rip is also deserving of his 1st all-star game.

Pistons could have 4 players in the all-star game.

Are there any limits to it or could this actually happen?

I don't know if there are any limitations, but as a tribute to how good the Pistons team is, all the all-star Pistons should be in the game at the same time for a couple minutes. I doubt Flip would do it though.

sheed doesn't even want to go to the all star game. if they make him though he'll go ban will go, and if coaches vote in rip and chauncey which they should they'll be in too. Tayshaun is great, but i don't think he'll get in yet, but who knows woith such a good record we might have all 5 starters in there. Thats just crazy i'm thinking only 3 will go there though maybe 4.

You know Sheed does not care about personal awards and he has already been there for the West before. But he will go for the team.

Billups is a lock.
Rip is almost a lock? At least from what I have heard
I heard Ben was very likely to go again. I would say Ben would be the guy out if 4 were too many since he has been there a few times. Rip and C really have to go since they have not been all-stars yet. Here you have the best guard tandum off to a historic start who have been 1-1 in the Finals the past 2 seasons.

Who rememebers this. Back in the mid-70's the Cincinatti Reds ( Big Red Machine) at one point in the all-star game had I believe 7 or 8 Cincinatti Reds players on the field at the same time.

Can you imagine. 4 Pistons on the floor at the same time? I would love to see that. That would really hit home just how good the starting 5 is.

Anyone know how many times there has been 4 all-stars from the same team???

The old Kevin Johnson Phoenix team comes to mind....Barkey, KJ, Marjele, Dumas?...Lakers with Magic, Worthy, Kareem had 3....I'll find it

Tay is our best player. Look at tonight. Shutdown Kobe down the stretch, scored our first 5, and scored 19 on efficient shooting. Did I mention 6 assists? The plus minus stats still say the same thing, Tay is our MVP-though barely. All five are tremendous basketball players, and I defy any five players from the West to match them.

I believe I read that the 82-83 Sixers team were the last (and perhaps only ) team to send four players to the all star team (Erving, Malone, Toney, and...Cheeks? maybe)...I'll try to check up on that and confirm.

Just checked through the box scores of old all star games at nba.com...a number of teams have had three players, but as I thought, only the 82-3 sixers have had four (and it was malone, erving, toney, and cheeks)...

Perhaps Sheed could be the first player to get two technicals in an All-Star game. I hope those won't count towards his running total...
