All-Star starters named: Leslie, Thompson, Cooper, Bird, and Swoopes in the West; Phillips, Holdsclaw, Catchings, Weatherspoon, and Staley in the East.

Now, there's no accounting for taste or fan All-Star voting. But:

Katie Smith is awesome, #4 in the league in scoring. And yet she was only ninth in votes amont West guards. Come on, people.

Shannon Johnson is having a great year -- 16.9 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds. She should be starting ahead of both Staley (7.2, 5.8, and 1.8) and T-Spoon (2.6, 3.9, and 2.6).

Swin Cash is leading Detroit atop the league. I know it's hard to put her above Catchings or Holdsclaw, but given how little Chamique has played this year, maybe Swin should have gotten the nod.

Nikki McCray was only about 250 votes away from being a starting guard (and 20,000 more votes than aforementioned Pee Wee). I know Nikki used to be great, but this year she just ain't doin' a damn thing: shooting around 30%, averaging 3.5 points, just under 2 rebounds, and just over 1 assist. If she would have been named a starter, I might have gone postal. Luckily, we averted that disaster.

Anyway, on the whole, this seems like a pretty good result, and it should be a great game.
