Gasols to start NBA All-Stars
Print Edition
PAU and Marc Gasol of Spain have been voted the first brothers to start in the NBA All-Star Game, while Toronto’s Kyle Lowry made a late surge in fan balloting and will start for the Eastern Conference.
Lowry passed Dwyane Wade and will start alongside Washington’s John Wall, the first time the East has had two first-time starters at guard since 2000. Golden State’s Stephen Curry made his own late surge to pass LeBron James as the overall leading vote-getter, the league announced on Thursday.
Kobe Bryant was also voted to start at West guard, though that’s in jeopardy because of a torn right rotator cuff.
Chicago’s Pau Gasol will start up front for the East along with James and Carmelo Anthony for the February 15 game in New York. Memphis’ Marc Gasol joins New Orleans’ Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Clippers’ Blake Griffin in the West frontcourt.
Tom and Dick Van Arsdale played in the 1970 and 1971 games, but the Gasols — once traded for each other — are the first brothers to be chosen to start.
“Knowing that I will be facing my brother Pau for the opening tip, it will be a true accomplishment for our family, and a memory I will cherish for the rest of my career,” Marc Gasol said.
“It holds special meaning to be voted in by the fans, and I look forward to representing my teammates, the organization, the city of Memphis, and entire Mid-South community and Grizzlies fans across the world,” he said.
