Once again, the fans voted Kobe Bryant to be one of the Western Conference All Star Team starters. He will be starting at the shooting guard position.

This is Kobe Bryants 11th All Star appearance and he is just excited as always to be a part of this game. Starting alongside Kobe in the Western Conference will be Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, Amare Stoudemire, and Yao Ming. They will face the Eastern Conference lineup including Dwight Howard, Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, and Dwyane Wade.

There are many returning all stars including Duncan (11th year) and Garnett (12th year).

Dwight Howard, the starting center in the East, received the most votes to date since fans have been asked to vote online with 3,150,181. That is the most anyone has ever received. Whats the reason? You name another center in the Eastern Conference!
