Dwight Howard who represents Orlando Magic, has become the most voted NBA star to make it to the All Star list with a mandate of 1,600,390 fans. And on Sunday, he will be seen taking the center for East. On the other side of the ground, he will have Los Angeles Lakers’ most athletic basketball pro, Kobe Bryant. The 33-year-old has the record of being selected for All Star for 14 times. Kobe Bryant has always wanted to prove that he’s the best to ever play the game of basketball. He wants more rings than Michael Jordan—that’s been his goal from the get-go. He may never be considered by most as the greatest player ever, but Bryant has an opportunity to become the greatest NBA All-Star Game player to ever play if he can capture another MVP Award on Sunday. Bryant will stamp his name as the best player to ever play in the event with his second straight and fifth NBA All-Star Game MVP Award. Bob Petit, former St. Louis Hawks great, won the award four times throughout his Hall of Fame career. Bryant knows how many he holds in his career and who he is tied with. He’ll be looking to etch his name into the record books.

The starters for the 2012 NBA All-Star game were announced yesterday, and there were no surprises on either roster, but one thing is for sure: Both starting rosters are loaded and when these 10 guys are on the floor together, fans are promised excitement. There's a strong Miami and Los Angeles presence on the rosters, led by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in the East and Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in the West. The reigning MVP Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard round out the Eastern Conference starters, while Kevin Durant is the other Western Conference starter.
Which team has the better starting five, though?
The East is probably the more athletic team on paper, but we're giving the slight nod to the Western Conference overall. The reason being is the frontcourt of the West. The East boasts James, Anthony and Howard, which is a more then formidable frontcourt, but the edge goes to the Durant, Griffin and Bynum unit. Since we are just looking at the starters here, we aren't taking into account the massive talent at the forward position that the West will have on the bench. That fact will give them a distinct advantage over the East. Simply looking at the starters, the West still has the slight advantage. Durant's pure scoring ability combined with the pure power of Griffin and Bynum make the West a tough matchup for the East.

Naturally, the All-Star Game is wide open and traditionally doesn't feature as much half-court offense as a regular season game does. But when it gets into the half-court set, the West has the advantage because of Griffin.
