Jamal Crawford not chosen for All-Star game

Found January 24, 2013 on Fox Sports West:
PLAYERS: Jamal Crawford,  Zach Randolph,  LaMarcus Aldridge,  Chris Bosh,  Luol Deng
TEAMS: Los Angeles Clippers,  Memphis Grizzlies,  Portland Trail Blazers,  Golden State Warriors,  Miami Heat,  Chicago Bulls
Jamal Crawford, the Clippers super-sub guard, was not picked as a reserve for the NBA All-Star game in Houston Feb. 17. NBA head coaches selected 14 reserves for the East and West teams. Crawford, in his 13th NBA season, has never made an All-Star team but was thought to have a good chance to be selected. Instead, the All-Star reserves named Thursday to the Western Conference team are: Tim Duncan and Tony Parker (from San Antonio); Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City), James Harden (Houston), Zach Randolph (Memphis), LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland) and David Lee (Golden State). This is Duncans 14th All-Star team. Its the first selection for Harden. The reserves for the Eastern Conference team are: Chris Bosh (Miami), Tyson Chandler (New York), Joakim Noah (Chicago), Paul George (Indiana), Luol Deng (Chicago), Jrue Holiday (Philadelphia) and Kyrie Irving (Cleveland). This is the first All-Star team for Chandler, Noah, George, Holiday and Irving. -Barry Stavro
