The selections for the upcoming NBA All-Star game have been announced, and for the 13th time Kobe Bryant has been selected as a starter. Bryant will represent the Western Conference in the game which is scheduled for the 20th of this month, and is scheduled to be played at the Staples Center.
Along with Bryant , for the west, will be Kevin Durant from Oklahoma City at forward, Camelo Anthony from Denver, and Chris Paul from New Orleans. The center position will have to be determined by the league as Yao Ming, voted in for the position, will be out with a fractured ankle. The league commissioner will select his replacement, and the coach, Greg Popovich, will make the decision on who will start in the position.
Starting team for the Eastern Conference will be Dwyane Wade and LeBron James from the Miami Heat, the Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire from New York, and Chicago Bull’s Derrick Rose.
