Again and Again

Maybe it was my threat, maybe not, but once again, Tim Duncan will be representing the Western Conference as a starter in the All-Star Game. This year’s contest will mark the 11th time the newly denoted “forward” will be heading to the mid-year showcase.

Though there was some concern about whether or not TD’s decision to be moved from the center to forward spot, it apparently didn’t make much of a difference.

Joining him in the West are Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, and Yao Ming. For the Eastern squad, Jason Kidd makes his first trip to the All-Star game as a starter since being in NJ. He’s joined by a first time starter in Dwight Howard, and then some old hats: Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Kevin Garnett.

More to come on my thoughts on the All-Star game, once reserves are announced, because that’s when the real debate begins.
