Kobe Bryant- Los Angeles Lakers (Starter)
Kobe Bryant will make his 13th All-Star appearance and he will be playing before his faithful Los Angeles fans. Bryant is having another productive season, and he is trying to the lead the Lakes to their third consecutive title. Although Kobe has played in many mid-February classics, it is always special for him to play on his home-court.
Chris Paul- New Orleans Hornets (Starter)
Chris Paul will be joining Kobe Bryant in the backcourt for his fourth All-Star game. Paul has transformed the Hornets into a serious Western Conference threat, and he is one of the best point guards in the NBA. This season, “CP3” is averaging 16.2 points per game and 9.6 assists per game.
Manu Ginobili- San Antonio Spurs
Manu Ginobili has led the San Antonio Spurs to the best record in the NBA, and his amazing play is worthy of an All-Star selection. The Spurs are an astonishing 46-9, while Ginobili is dropping 17.9 ppg, grabbing 3.8 rpg and dishing out 4.9 apg.
Russell Westbrook- Oklahoma City Thunder
Russell Westbrook will be joining fellow Thunder teammate Kevin Durant in the 2011 All-Star game. Westbrook will make the first All-Star appearance of his career. Westbrook is developing into one of the best young point guards in the NBA and he is averaging 22.2 ppg and 7.1 apg.
Deron Williams- Utah Jazz
Deron Williams will be playing in his second All-Star game, but this time he will no longer be with Carlos Boozer. Williams has not seen much team success without Boozer, but his statistics are still impressive and are deserving of a selection.
