LA duets (Kobe–Bynum and Paul–Griffin) are the first couples of team mates since 1997 to start together an NBA All-Star Game. Stockton–Malone and Payton–Kemp were the last 4 players to accomplish this feat.
3 players were picked as reserves despite not being listed in the Top 10 voting results for their positions: Tony Parker (SA), Roy Hibbert (Ind) and Andre Iguodala (Phi).
