Amare StoudemireI wrote in September that perhaps there would be no worthy center to start for the West in the All-Star Game.

But this isn't the way I want to see that solved. Do it on the court, not with the ballot.

When the All-Star ballot came out Tuesday, Phoenix power forward Amar'e Stoudemire strangely was listed as a center. Yes, Stoudemire has played center before, but he's started all eight games for Suns this season at power forward, with Channing Frye being the starting center.

It is true the ballot, which was selected by six media members from around the country, had to be decided upon before the season began in order to provide time for printing. But it has been apparent since at least September that Frye would Phoenix's starting center, with Stoudemire at power forward.

Nene, Andrew Bynum, Al Jefferson and Mehmet Okur
Bylaws have been checked. Rules have been scrutinized.

And, yes, it has been determined the West must start a center in February's All-Star Game in Dallas.

So, gentlemen, lace up your high tops. The race to be the starting center for the West is as wide open as the Yukon Territory.

Houston's Yao Ming, who has been voted by fans the starter the past seven years (he did miss the 2007 game due to injury), won't play before the All-Star Break due to a fractured foot. It will be interesting to see if he's even on the All-Star ballot. If so, he'll probably win the voting without stepping on the court.

Shaquille O'Neal, an All-Star last season with Phoenix, has moved to the East with Cleveland. So he's out of the mix.

Follow NBA FanHouseWho's left?

Not a lot.

The only candidate with previous All-Star experience is Utah's Mehmut Okur, named an injury replacement in 2007. Keep in mind, though, that was the year All-Star had a very loose meaning in the West considering four injury replacements were named.

One presumes Minnesota's Al Jefferson again will be on the ballot at center even though he really is a power forward who often is forced to play out of position. But it remains to be seen how Jefferson will be come back from a torn ACL that ended his season last February after he had averaged 23.1 points and 11.0 rebounds. But for now, even though the Timberwolves should still be subpar, let's make Jefferson the favorite.

There's another guy in the mix who was hurt much of last season. The Lakers' Andrew Bynum, who at least did return late in the regular season from a knee injury before stumbling around in the playoffs, might be a year away from truly being All-Star worthy. But Bynum, helped by being with the Lakers, was third in fan voting last season behind Yao and O'Neal.

Want a darkhorse candidate? Denver's Nene averaged 14.6 points and 7.8 rebounds last season, and could be even better now that he has fully recovered from testicular cancer surgery in January 2008.

"My motivation is different than last year,'' Nene said. "Last year, I was trying to overcome cancer, and I surprised myself (with his play). This year is different. ... But my goal is not to be an All-Star. My goal is to help the team go farther than last season (the Western Conference finals). But, if I deserve (to be an All-Star), I will be there.''

Nene is fully healthy after suffering a broken left arm in Denver's last playoff game. He took about six weeks off, and said now his "arm is perfect."

The native of Brazil also got his Green Card during the offseason. He's working to become a U.S. citizen, while also maintaining his Brazilian citizenship, although that is still a few years off.

Andris Biedrins and Greg OdenWant some other West All-Star center candidates? Golden State's Andris Biedrins is a Latvian double-double machine. Portland's Greg Oden is still raw, but don't count him out yet.

There's the two-headed Clippers monster of Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman, who strangely were both listed on the All-Star ballot last year at center, which meant Clippers fans weren't allowed by rules to vote for both. There's New Orleans' Emeka Okafor, who arrived from Charlotte for Tyson Chandler in a swap of big men.

By the way, don't dare call Tim Duncan a center. The committee that drew up the All-Star ballot two years ago tried to put him on at that position. The complaining was so loud from San Antonio he soon was switched back to power forward.

So there you go. Every possible West All-Star starting center candidate has been mentioned (and, yes, Erick Dampier, you were intentionally excluded even though the All-Star Game is in your home city). As for a reserve in the game who's a center, that's probably not going to happen.

The rules call for NBA coaches, who vote on reserves, to select a backup center. But coaches are allowed to vote for somebody who doesn't play the position regularly. So, with top-notch centers in the West as common as Halley's Comet sightings, they'll likely just slide a power forward over to that spot.

But somebody who's listed as a center is going to have to start the game for the West. For any big man out there who wants some day to tell his grandchildren he once started an All-Star Game, now's your chance.

Who doesn't like a list, especially on a Monday morning when that's about all you can handle until your third cup of coffee?

As the opening of NBA training camps approach, we'll start breaking down the league by position, presenting our biased opinions with an eye on personal prejudices and the upcoming season. Remember, it's not who the best was last season -- that's history -- but who will be the best over the next 82 games and into the playoffs.

Since we're starting with centers, we'll have to begin by discussing those we don't like this season.

Yao Ming doesn't make the Top Five because he can't play with a bad foot. Shaquille O'Neal doesn't make the Top Five for the first time since he entered the league because he doesn't move his feet anymore, too out of shape after playing Goofball all summer. Bill Russell doesn't make it, even though at 75 he still could outplay half the centers in the league today.

These will be the best five centers, whether they like it or not.

Dwight Howard, Magic: There is no argument, and not even a debate on No. 1, which makes it kind of boring. He's just too athletic, too strong physically and too motivated for anyone else to challenge him for the top. The rest of the league should be worried because he's going to continue improving for a couple more years.

He led the Magic into the Finals last season, and he's such a dominating presence that unless the front office screws up and lets the team erode around him, he'll keep them near the top of the league for the next decade. After leading the league in rebounding and blocked shots, he'll improve offensively this season.

Amar'e Stoudemire, Suns: With Shaq now in Cleveland, Stoudemire will return to the middle and have a great season without anyone else clogging up the lane for him. He shines because he can outrun most of the centers in the league, and it's pretty tough not to excel offensively when Steve Nash is your point guard.

The issue with Stoudemire is staying healthy. He has struggled with that serious eye injury, and he'll play with a different set of goggles now to protect the injury. Motivating him more will be his disappointment that the Suns didn't give him the contract extension he wanted. It's good to have a great player in a contract year.

Al Jefferson, Timberwolves: For all the grief that Kevin McHale took a few years ago over trading Kevin Garnett, give him credit for getting back Jefferson, a future star. Jefferson, 24, was averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds when he blew out his right knee last season.

He said recently he expects to be 100 percent when this season begins. If that's true, new coach Kurt Rambis will have a solid foundation from which to built this team. He has a nice low post game and good fundamentals, both compliments of McHale and the work he did with him.

Tim Duncan, Spurs: No, he doesn't call himself a center, but that's what he is, and this is our list. For whatever reason, Duncan wants to be known as a power forward, which is like calling Michael Vick a dog trainer. At 7-0, 260 pounds, he has been one of the top two centers in the league for many years, but he is beginning to slip.

The Spurs have geared up and added pieces this season in hopes of making another run at a championship before Duncan finishes his career. He deserves all the acclaim he has received as a future Hall of Famer, winning with unbelievable consistency.

Andrew Bynum, Lakers: We've heard for the last few years about this guy's potential, and this is the year he really puts it together. He has so many weapons around him now that defenses can't afford to focus on him.

With Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, and now Ron Artest as teammates, opposing teams will ignore Bynum, leaving him to dominate around the basket. He has all the tools. One of the reasons the Lakers are expected to repeat as champions is that Bynum will get considerably better this season. He cracks the Top Five as a surprise pick, but his confidence will soar.
