After months of fierce voting, the list of NBA All-Star Game players has finally come out.

"Demigod" Vinson Carter deservedly became the vote king of this year's All-Star with 1,717,687 votes. He was followed by O'Neal, who is now in his prime, with 1,541,298 votes, followed by Allen, who had 1,508,142 votes to beat Bryant's 1,433,747 votes. But the next five to nine places all belong to the West, with Alonzo Mourning in tenth having more than 7,000 fewer votes than Jason Williams in front of him.

Elsewhere, as Theo Ratliff didn't have much time to play this season, his place was taken by Big Ben. And Luke squeezed out Allen's old nemesis, Jerry Starkhouse, and was elected an All-Star. In terms of starters, Alonzo Mourning, who was originally the starting center, was unable to play due to kidney problems, and Theo Ratliffe, who belonged to him, did not fully reach the big itself, but was divided between Big Ben and Luke, so Big Ben did not appear in the starting position, and the current starter is the long and strange name, which is said to speak for thirty minutes in their local language, Dicambe Mutombo. There is also one man missing from the forward position, and that is Granger Hill, who was unable to play due to a knee injury and had to be replaced by his younger brother Tracy McGrady. So the starting line-up in the East is Allen, plus Carter, in Maddy and Mutombo, and finally Anthony, who is also from the Miami Heat to replace Alonzo Mourning? Mason. He's been doing pretty well this year. Anthony in childhood? Mason lives in Springfield Garden, Queens, and he's one of the best baseball pitchers in that group of kids. His buddies gave him the nickname Goose, because the Yankees wide receiver was Gossage, nicknamed Goose. As a loyal Yankee fan, he had no interest in basketball at all. "Boring sports, it's no fun!" "It's just a matter of throwing the ball into the box," he said. Only trying to hit the flying little white ball and grabbing that damn rugby ball in the midst of people's shoving is real sports! But then, Mason's height jumped to 6-5, and as a high-achieving kid living in New York, basketball naturally became an inevitable part of his life. As soon as he entered his freshman year of high school, Mason joined the SpringfieldGardens high school basketball team. After that, they quickly won the state championship.

This was just the beginning, as Mason was lightningly selected to the New York All-Star team next season and earned a no-test promotion to Tennessee. It is a traditional black school located in Nashville. "He's a good boy." Former coach Ed Martin said so. "A typical newcomer - very malleable. Full of aggression and teachable. ”

Although he had a good time in college, his career was not good. Mason was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 53rd pick in the third round of the 1988 NBA Draft, which left him with a roll of the stars in training camp, but the truth was even more terrifying, and he was quickly cut...... The following year, he was forced to make ends meet and played in Turkey's Efes Basketball Club, Venezuela's Eastern Oceans, CBA and USBL. The New Jersey Nets worked on a short-time basis and scored 1.8 points per game, followed by the Denver Nuggets, who played just three games. Finally, in the summer of 1991, Mason signed with the New York Knicks. Here Pat Riley fell in love with him. Under coach Pat Riley, Mason exploded in full force in New York, and he formed a formidable interior lineup for the Knicks along with Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, and Charles Smith. In 1994, the Knicks entered the NBA Finals for the first time since 1973, in the Finals, he defended the then Rockets boss Hakeem Olajuwon, his defense made Olajuwon scold, and the offensive end also averaged 16.2 points per game in a single season, plus a high-level playmaking ability but lost to the Houston Rockets led by Hakiem Olajuwon after 7 big games. In 1995, Mason won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award. In the 1996-97 season, he was named to the NBA All-NBA Third Team and the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. In the 1995-96 season, he ranked first in the league with 3,457 minutes played, which is also a Knicks all-time record. The following season, in 1996-97, he played 43.1 minutes per game, again ranking first in the league. Just last year, he was invited to Miami by his mentor Riley. Although Pat Riley initially wanted to use him as a role player, Alonzo Mourning's kidney disease forced him to be the team's leading scorer. Mason responded with 16.1 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. In 2001, Mason was selected to replace Mourning of the Miami Heat after being selected to the NBA All-Star team but unable to play. His strength adds a guarantee to the weak interior strength in the east.

Although there are many injuries in the East, but the West is even worse, it was originally the darling of the All-Stars, the player that fans are most willing to see at this time, the fans' comedy star "Big Shark" O'Neal was injured and couldn't play, only watching the game in a suit on the side, which made many fans feel a little disappointed. But their lineup isn't bad. The three pillars of the interior line, the "four major forwards" in later generations accounted for three, "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett, "the most gorgeous striker in history" Chris Webber and "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan, these three exists on the inside line whether it is offensive or defensive is a huge deterrent. There is also "Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant, who still likes to fly around, and of course, the eternal super engine, "Triple Double King" Jason Kidd also appeared in the starting position. In addition, there is Rasheed Wallace, one of the only remaining "four forwards" in the trunk (it is said that the "four major forwards" were all in the West at that time), David Robinson, one of the "four major centers" (it is said that at this time, the "four major centers" are all in the West, and only he was selected, which is really time-inspiring), plus Karl Malone and Gary Payton, the bench lineup is deep (this is an All-Star!) ）。 Of course, the former Yugoslav Vlad? Divac. He was selected by the Lakers because of his height and soft touch, and the Lakers wanted to train him as the next Abdul-Jabbar, but in the end it turned out that this was impossible, so they traded him to the Charlotte Hornets (do you know who the swap is?). I remember trading him for the No. 13 rookie of the year, you know? To be clear, that was 1996). Recently, he moved to the best team for him, the Sacramento Kings, where his passing and shooting were infinitely useful and brought a lot of help to the team. He believes that in the All-Star, he will play better.

But we can't discuss these things just yet, because the NBA stars still have things to do.
