and the chosen one for replacement goes to.

Kidd for Kobe, does Dirk start now?



Now that Kobe is officially is out of the lineup for the All-Star Game, Mavericks guard Jason Kidd is taking his place, is there a starting spot open for hometown star Dirk Nowitzki?
DALLAS -- Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is out with an injury for the Western Confernece All-Star team and Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd moves in as his replacement.
But the real winner in this unfortunate development could be Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. The hometown star could go from reserve to starter and help warm things up here in Dallas, where the snow is still falling.
Dirk's presence in the starting lineup should certainly help stir up some local buzz for an event that's going to need plenty of it with the weather wreaking havoc on the travel plans of everyone trying to attend.
We have no problem with Kidd, though a rookie like Tyreke Evans is already here and could have easily filled that spot as well.
 
Kidd.... 9 pts 9 ast a game... all star... really???

I mean I know he has the hometown crowd factor to help him get chosen. But Reke deserved it way more. Its not like the Mavs are overachieving or anything.
