I would have to say the California teams, because of Kobe Bryant's skill level.

In the battle of the guards California's team would win since their backcourt of Baron Davis and Kobe Bryant would dominate Texas guards in the starting line-ups alone. If Baron and Kobe can dictate the fast-paced tempo they can win. Unfortunately if this would be a half-court game then the combined force of Yao and Duncan would neutralize the guards of California and their rebounding would prove to be too much for California.
Hope this helps.

The Texas team wins, the team is better, and the bench is crazy, imagine Dirk and Manu coming off the bench, the scoring wont slow down, the guys you have on the Cali side dont get everyone involved, imagine Kobe, Davis, and artest who all think they should have the ball on the court at the same time. I just feel the texas team will play better on both sides of the court.

Bynum should be starter, but I thought that the West would win probably by one free throw or something

I'd have to go with Texas, they have better all- around players and a really good bench with Dirk there.
California is good too but they lack a solid center and there bench is not as good.
