2008 NBA All-Star Game East and West Lineups

Oh yes, the results are in people.

And guess what, somebody was booted out of the starting lineup this year. But before we dwell into that, YES, the 2008 NBA All-Star Game starters for both the Eastern and Western Conferences are in and all the usual suspects made it. (Except that one who got his ass booted out of course...)

We're talking about Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady. Voters probably got tired of watching him hobble on the basketball court with a sore back, that's probably why they voted Denver Nuggets star Allen Iverson in to start for the West for the first time in his career.

Allen Iverson rallied past Tracy McGrady in the final weeks of the voting to earn his very first Western Conference All-Star starting spot since Philly sent him to Denver. (What a fucked-up move that turned out to be...) Iverson will now be making his 9th All-Star appearance on February 17 in New Orleans.

''It's a good feeling. I think it's a tribute to my teammates and coaching staff because without those guys none of that would be possible,'' Allen Iverson said in a statement.

''But most of all I just want to thank the fans for appreciating what I go out and do on the court night in and night out. It's just a great feeling and an honor, and I'm just looking forward to trying to play the best that I can play for the fans.''

Allen Iverson will join teammate Carmelo Anthony in representing the West at the 2008 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans. And as always, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and for some reason, Yao Ming, will be starting again.

In the Eastern Conference, Kevin Garnett earned his first career start for the East All-Stars with a whopping 2,399,148 votes to lead the league in All-Star votes. He will join another Eastern Conference first-time starter, Dwight Howard.

The duo of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will be there while New Jersey Nets captain Jason Kidd completes the East's starting five.
