Chris Paul And Blake Griffin Named To All-Star Team
- Updated: January 29, 2015
The announcement came this evening and the news was great! Two of our favorite Los Angeles Clippers players have been named to the All-Star team; Chris Paul and Blake Griffin!
Ok, yes, we already knew the starting lineups, but it is a great feeling to have Chris Paul and Blake on the same team!
This marks Chris Paul’s eighth All-Star game. Bleacher Report writes the following about the Western Conference lineup:
“The West is loaded. Almost to the point where it should relegate the last two players left off its roster and jettison them to the East. It’s almost impossible to discern who “leads” the field of reserves when there are so many future Hall of Famers to choose from.
Paul and Griffin were both easy selections despite the Clippers’ supposedly disappointing season. While it still appears they’re a piece away from true title contention, the two best basketball players in Los Angeles are leading a team with a legit shot at the West’s No. 2 seed.”
