Although the NBA All-Star game is a few months away, it’s never too early to predict which players will be voted into the starting lineup. Since it’s a fan vote, the prediction has to balance on-court merit and the player’s popularity.  In the Western Conference, the center is going to be Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets. Not only is Yao having a very good season, he has the biggest fan base in the world behind him — the country of China. His home country will make sure that he’s an All-Star starter this year once again.
