Tonight on ‘Inside the NBA’ the starters for the 58th NBA All-Star Game will be announced.
Among those players announced will be Amare Stoudemire, who passed Carmelo Anthony in voting over the last week (on Jan 12 Stoudemire trailed Anthony by over 10,000 votes). Stoudemire has been an All-Star four of the last five seasons (he missed most of the 2005-06 season). This will be Stoudemire’s first time voted in as a starter, he will be joining Tim Duncan and Yao Ming in the Western Conference’s large frontcourt.
