The starters for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game in Toronto were announced Thursday night, with Kobe Bryant making it, Draymond Green missing out, Kyle Lowry edging Kyrie Irving, and Zaza Pachulia -- he's a quality starting big man for the Dallas Mavericks, in case you were wondering -- getting more votes than Green but missing a starting slot by about 14,000 votes.
Those who got in, naturally, were quite excited:
Thank you fans!! Two years in a row , I never could of imagined this in my wildest dreams!!! I love y'all!
