Here&#8217;s how the selection process for the reserves works:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In selecting the reserves, the 30 NBA head coaches must vote for seven players within their conference, including two guards, two forwards, a center and two players regardless of position. Coaches are not permitted to vote for players on their team. After the coaches select the reserves, if a player is unable to participate in the All-Star Game, NBA Commissioner David Stern will select a replacement. Reserves will be announced Jan. 28, on TNT. <\/p>\n<p>The East and West All-Star coaches and coaching staffs will be determined by the best record in each conference through games played Jan. 31. Last year\u2019s East and West coaches \u2013 Cleveland&#8217;s Mike Brown and the L.A. Lakers\u2019 Phil Jackson &#8212; are not eligible to coach this year\u2019s All-Star Game. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The final voting tallies are listed below the jump.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-14472\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2010 NBA ALL-STAR BALLOTING WESTERN CONFERENCE<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Forwards: Carmelo Anthony (Den) 2,137,560; Tim Duncan (SA) 1,156,696; Dirk Nowitzki (Dal) 1,093,005; <strong>Pau Gasol (LAL) 1,051,784<\/strong>; Kevin Durant (OKC) 870,567; Trevor Ariza (Hou) 645,937; Luis Scola (Hou) 580,243; <strong>Ron Artest (LAL) 368,281<\/strong>; Shawn Marion (Dal) 363,516; LaMarcus Aldridge (Por) 309,497. <\/p>\n<p>Guards: <strong>Kobe Bryant (LAL) 2,456,224<\/strong>; Steve Nash (Pho) 1,222,235; Chris Paul (NO) 1,055,789; Tracy McGrady (Hou) 1,022,492; Aaron Brooks (Hou) 591,930; Jason Kidd (Dal) 523,708; Manu Ginobili (SA) 465,211; Chauncey Billups (Den) 452,983; Tony Parker (SA) 439,536; Brandon Roy (Por) 422,290. <\/p>\n<p>Centers: Amar\u2019e Stoudemire (Pho) 1,824,093; <strong>Andrew Bynum (LAL) 981,355<\/strong>; Nene (Den) 364,543; Marc Gasol (Mem) 353,155; Antonio McDyess (SA) 328,717; Al Jefferson (Min) 252,777; Greg Oden (Por) 225,245; Marcus Camby (LAC) 188,240; Emeka Okafor (NO) 182,626; Andris Biedrins (GS) 167,481. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2010 NBA ALL-STAR BALLOTING EASTERN CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Forwards: LeBron James (Clev) 2,549,693; Kevin Garnett (Bos) 1,978,116; Chris Bosh (Tor) 1,164,007; Paul Pierce (Bos) 525,677; Josh Smith (Atl) 475,671; Andre Iguodala (Phi) 313,827; Danny Granger (Ind) 309,808; Rashard Lewis (Orl) 302,743; Michael Beasley (Mia) 277,400; Hedo Turkoglu (Tor) 213,369. <\/p>\n<p>Guards: Dwyane Wade (Mia) 2,327,550; Allen Iverson (Phi) 1,269,568; Vince Carter (Orl) 1,048,977; Ray Allen (Bos) 710,045; Derrick Rose (Chi) 571,911; Gilbert Arenas (Was) 545,860; Joe Johnson (Atl) 496,255; Rajon Rondo (Bos) 425,590; Jose Calderon (Tor) 292,909; Mike Bibby (Atl) 223,759. <\/p>\n<p>Centers: Dwight Howard (Orl) 2,360,096; Shaquille O&#8217;Neal (Cle) 856,056; Al Horford (Atl) 270,532; Andrea Bargnani (Tor) 265,024; Brook Lopez (NJ) 223,246; Andrew Bogut (Mil) 202,072; Jermaine O&#8217;Neal (Mia) 159,327; Rasheed Wallace (Bos) 131,084; Brad Miller (Chi) 102,994; Kendrick Perkins (Bos) 90,278. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kobe Bryant, a three time All-Star MVP, will make his 12th All-Star game appearance alongside Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire for the Western Conference at the 2010 All-Star Game in Dallas.
