Congrats to Kara! This will be her first ASG as a player!

The last few days must be really exciting for her: her accepting a marriage proposal, and now this. IIRC, Kara is from near the DC area, correct? (I know Rebekkah is definitely from DC)

Awesome! Now the Western Conference All-Star Team is truly ALL-STAR! Wow, we could have 3 of 5 players on the floor, if Coach wishes it so...

Damien aka D-Lo from KSFM 102.5 proposed to her? That is great. I went to highschool with D-Lo.

Wait a second; Burke just said during the Sky/Shock games that coaches can't name their own players... if that's at all true, who named Lawson and Brunson?

Brunson was picked by the other coaches in the Western Conference. Lawson was picked by Donna Orender to replace Sue Bird.

Damn, so what does Cash and Smith not making it as reserves say about what the Eastern coaches think of them?
