Draymond Green, Klay Thompson join Steph Curry on All-Star team
— -- Draymond Green and Klay Thompson will be joining reigning MVP Stephen Curry to give the Golden State Warriors a trio of All-Stars for next month's midseason NBA showcase in Toronto.
The West coaches' choices for the reserves were announced Thursday on TNT, a week after the starters as voted on by fans were revealed, a group anchored by Curry.
The rest of the reserves for the West, to be coached by Gregg Popovich, for the Feb. 14 game:
- James Harden of the Houston Rockets
- Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers
- Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans
- DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings
- LaMarcus Aldridge of the San Antonio Spurs
The Eastern Conference coaches left Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers out of their choices, opting instead for a frontcourt of reserves anchored by first-time All-Star Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons.
The rest of the East team, to be coached by Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue:
- Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls
- DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors
- Paul Millsap of the Atlanta Hawks
- Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat
- John Wall of the Washington Wizards
- Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics
The reserves were selected by the head coaches in each conference, who had to vote for seven players: two guards, three frontcourt players and two additional players at any position. The coaches weren't allowed to vote for players from their own team.
The starters, meanwhile, were highlighted by the landslide selection of Kobe Bryant for an 18th time.
Bryant, playing in his 20th and final season, will be joined by Curry, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, Thunder swingman Kevin Durant and San Antonio Spurs wing Kawhi Leonard.
The Eastern Conference starters are Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James, Indiana Pacers forward Paul George, New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony, Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry and Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat.
James was the top fan choice for the East team with 1.1 million votes.
