The starting lineups for the 2012 NBA All-Star game were announced last night on TNT, and for the first time in years, I have no complaints about the fans' selections.

Dwight Howard was the top overall vote-getter. He'll center an Eastern Conference squad that also features LeBron James and Dwyane Wade of the Heat, reigning MVP Derrick Rose of the Bulls and the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony. All are highly deserving, though you could make the case that Wade and Anthony - who have missed significant time due to injuries - could be replaced by Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh.

In the West, Kobe Bryant was named to his 14th consecutive all-star team - tying a record held by his old pal Shaq, among others. His Laker teammate Andrew Bynum and Los Angeles neighbors Chris Paul and Blake Griffin were also selected by the fans, with Kevin Durant completing the West's starting lineup.

The last time two pairs of teammates were selected to start the All-Star Game was in 1997, when Seattle's Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton joined Houston's Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley in the West lineup.

All star reserves will be selected by a vote of the coaches in each conference and announced on Thursday, February 9. The game will be played in Orlando on February 26th.

The McDonald's All American Game hits its 35th birthday this year. To commemorate the milestone, the game's organizers have published their selections for the top 35 players in the game's history, from Magic Johnson - a 1977 selection - to Derrick Rose.

The list features eleven number one overall draft picks, seven hall-of-famers, seven North Carolina Tar Heels and five players that jumped from high school to the NBA.

The 2012 McDonald's All American games - boys' and girls' - will be played at the United Center in Chicago on March 28. Tickets are available now.
