Well, the all-star starters were revealed last week. Here are the players that were voted for each conference.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
(F) Kobe Bryant (Lakers)
(F) Kawhi Leonard (Spurs)
(F) Kevin Durant (Thunder)
(G) Russell Westbrook (Thunder)
(G) Stephen Curry (Warriors)
EASTERN CONFERENCE
(F) LeBron James (Cavaliers)
(F) Paul George (Pacers)
(F) Carmelo Anthony (Knicks)
(G) Dwyane Wade (Heat)
(G) Kyle Lowry (Raptors)
The coaches picked the reserves. And here are the guys coming off the bench for the midseason classic.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
(F) Draymond Green (Warriors)
(F) James Harden (Rockets)
(F) Anthony Davis (Pelicans)
(F) LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs)
(C) DeMarcus Cousins (Kings)
(G) Chris Paul (Clippers)
(G) Klay Thompson (Warriors)
EASTERN CONFERENCE
(F) Paul Millsap (Hawks)
(F) Chris Bosh (Heat)
(C) Andre Drummond (Pistons)
(G) John Wall (Wizards)
(G) DeMar DeRozan (Raptors)
(G) Jimmy Butler (Bulls)
(G) Isaiah Thomas (Celtics)
Draymond Green and Isaiah Thomas are first-time all-stars. They are both well-deserved.
Damian Lillard being snubbed means he’s probably going to strike lightning on everyone in the league. Dirk Nowitzki has had a fantastic season. I guess this is what happens when Kobe Bryant gets voted in, right? As for the East, Pau Gasol and Al Horford probably made some good cases. There was really nothing maddening about the selections.
The All-Star game will be in Toronto on Sunday, February 14.
