Pistons Send Four to All-Star Game

ESPN reports that four of five Detroit Piston starters have been named to the NBA Eastern Conference All-Star team. Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace all were picked for the Eastern Conference team that will be led by Detroit coach Flip Saunders. This is the first time four players from one team have made the game since the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers.

Saunders gets to pick the starter to take Jermaine O'Neal's place, but he said he won't pick one of his players. He wants them to enter the game together, as a unit (certainly a reason to tune in to TNT on February 19th!).
