The NBA announced the All Star Game reserves...
The Eastern Conference reserves are: 4 Celtics: Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray allen. Joining them are Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson and Al Horford.
For the West: rookie Blake Griffin makes an anticipated debut - and LA's Pau Gasol, Father Time Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, Dirk Nowitzki, Russell Westbrook and Deron Williams.
They join Eastern starters LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Amar'e Stoudemire and Dwight Howard. The West's starting five will be Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Yao Ming.
Obviously, Yao's not an option - David Stern will choose who's going to replace him in the game and Greg Popovich will choose who from the bench will now be a starter.
There's still a chance for the Lakers' Andrew Bynum to make the roster as Yao's replacement. Bynum had the second most votes tallied for any Western center, behind Yao.
