Tiiimmmm Duncan! Goin into the sunset in style. Very nice.
Iverson voted in; Nash, Duncan get All-Star spots
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Allen Iverson has been voted to start in the All-Star game, while Steve Nash and Tim Duncan made late moves to claim starting spots for the Western Conference.
Nash passed the inactive Tracy McGrady as the second guard, while Duncan disappointed Dallas fans hoping to see Dirk Nowitzki start by rallying past the Mavericks forward.
LeBron James was the leading vote-getter for the Feb. 14 game at Cowboys Stadium, becoming the first player to earn at least 2.5 million votes three times.
Joining James and Iverson as East starters Thursday were Miami guard Dwyane Wade, Orlando center Dwight Howard and Boston forward Kevin Garnett.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was picked in the West along with Phoenix center Amare Stoudemire and Denver forward Carmelo Anthony.

I'm thrilled. He would have been picked by the coaches, but this way his starting streak stays.
I guess my votes did count.
This is the peaple of Dallas fault. Its a shame to not have have a single Maverick (2nd in the west) starting in a an allstar game in Dallas
I'm so sick of people pulling the "Dirk deserves it more" line. No he doesn't. How many of you people seriously follow the league or know about the game? Big deal if Nowitzki scores more, the reality is he scores less efficiently and doesn't impact the game in any other facet. Duncan, on the other hand, is still one of the five best players in the game and the best big man in the game hands down. He impacts the game in virtually every facet and the only thing Nowitzki has over him is range shooting. Having said that, they both deserve to start. Nowtizki should be the starting PF and Duncan the starting C.
Nice. Voted everyday and happy to see the man get his due.
that's a 100k swing, went from 50k down in the fourth returns to a 60k win. Nice job voting everyone!
Ill remember this the next time you guys brag about JET
Congrats to Duncan. Good job by the fans for stepping it up to get him there as a starter.
