These two have a history and the competitiveness between them could spill out into an on-court battle to determine the West’s best point guard.

Both of these guys will be aggressive and bring the crowd to their feet with their amazing ball handling.

Egomaniac lands in Hollywood.

I don’t even want to know what’s going on in James’ mind right now. He’ll probably look at this game as the matchup of the universe and try to steal the show. If that’s the case, I’m down to watch. After all, it’s the league's most talented player in his prime. And he’s still upset over our reaction to “The Decision.”

3. Blake Griffin

Sometimes rookies get strange treatment from veterans in games like these. But I think Blake is talented enough to overcome any lack of minutes or freezing out.

If he doesn't blow us away in the dunk contest, he will on the fast break, catching lobs from Paul and Williams.

2. Kevin Durant

Historically, All-Star selections have meant big statement games for future Hall of Famers.

With Kobe Bryant slowly exiting his prime, will Durant and James have a fourth quarter showdown between themselves?

All-Star games are a point guard's wet dream.

He’s going to be flying up the court, throwing lobs to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Dwight Howard. It could get nasty out there for the West. Rondo is averaging 12.2 assists a game. He could easily swoop on a triple double with 20-plus assists. If he does that, hand the man All-Star MVP.
