    The best foreign player in the East is Zydrunas Ilgauskas. He is a center. The two centers that made it for the East were Ben Wallace and Shaquille O'Neal. Ilgauskas has had a phenomenal year, showing the ability to take over games. But Ilgauskas, who plays for the Cavaliers, is overshadowed by Lebron James and maybe even Larry Hughes. It is difficult for coaches to vote in Ilgauskas over Wallace because coaches all know how Wallace can change the complexion of a game in interior defense.

    If I had a greenback for each and each time I observed this question, i might have a clean psthree by way of now. i'm predicting the West to win. i myself like quite a few the gamers on the East, yet I ought to stay authentic with the West.
