Although Bryant leads all vote-getters the east is looking strong.

The five Eastern Conference players on pace to get the votes to start are KG, Rondo, Dwight Howard, James and Wade.

I regularly avoid all-star ho-hum fests, but that Eastern lineup might be something to see. Despite King LeMe's tiring act off the court Rondo feeding James and Wade with KG covering whoever steps in from the perimeter and Howard cleaning the glass could be very entertaining (while they're in together at the start anyway). It could have the potential for the rare all-star starting lineup theat might at least attempt to play D. Well...maybe.
