2012 NBA All-Star Starters Announced

There they are, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, and Derrick Rose for the East, and Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Andrew Bynum, Kobe Bryant, and Chris Paul for the West.

The first, and most obvious, snub is Kevin Love. I mean, all Big Love has done this year is average 25.3 points a game (4th in the NBA behind Kobe, LeBron, and Durant) and 13.6 rebounds a game (2nd in the NBA). Don't get me wrong, I totally get why Blake Griffin got the nod, but it's a shame someone can put together those type of numbers and not start in the All-Star game.

I'm fine with the rest, thought I wouldn't have been mad if Bosh started over Carmelo.
