The NBAs leading scorer was not among the seven reserves announced Thursday night for the Western Conference team that will play in the NBA All-Star game. Denver teammate Allen Iverson was chosen, extending his streak of consecutive All-Star appearances to eight. He started the last seven games while playing for Philadelphia. Anthony, who is averaging 31.3 points but missed 15 games while suspended for his role in the brawl at Madison Square Garden, was the most obvious omission. Earlier Thursday, Anthony said he hoped his suspension wouldn't prevent him from earning his first All-Star spot. "I hope no one holds that over my head over anything," he said. "Things happen. One incident like that is held over one person's head, life ain't fair. "I did my punishment. I could've easily kept my name out there by appealing it and doing other stuff about it, but I just did my 15 games suspension and hopefully put that behind us." Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion were all chosen from the Phoenix Suns, the league's highest scoring team. Suns coach Mike D'Antoni will lead the West. "It will be great to be able to go with our coaches and teammates," said Nash, the two-time NBA MVP. "It will be great to have them there and have them be recognized, too." Stoudemire, averaging 18.6 points and 8.9 rebounds, made it after sitting out most of last season because of knee surgery. "It was a goal of mine," he said. "I told you guys that before the season started, back in training camp, that I was planning on making it. So I was really striving for it. "The past two years have been tough for me and it's definitely paid off. There may be people who doubt you but you can never doubt yourself." Dirk Nowitzki was the only player picked from the Dallas Mavericks, who have the league's best record. The Mavericks had been hoping Josh Howard would be selected as well. "I think Dallas having the best record and only one guy, I thought that was surprising," D'Antoni said. Detroit and New Jersey had multiple reserves picked for the Feb. 18 ANTHONY game. Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton, who both made their first appearances last season, are going back, and Jason Kidd and Vince Carter will represent the Nets in the game at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center. "I'm happy that Rip made it, too, because he's having a career year," Billups said. "If I only made it, a piece of me would've been disappointed. I've always felt like we're a package deal." Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal and firsttimers Dwight Howard of Orlando and Caron Butler of Washington round out the East reserves. The seven reserves were voted on by the head coaches in their respective conferences. Coaches couldn't vote for their own players, and had to select two forwards, two guards, a center and two players regardless of their position. The remainder of the West reserves were San Antonio guard Tony Parker and Utah forward Carlos Boozer. The starters were announced last Thursday. LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and Gilbert Arenas were picked in the East. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant were voted in by fans to start for the West. Anthony still has a chance to play in Las Vegas. NBA commissioner David Stern will choose a replacement for Yao, who is still recovering from a broken bone under his knee, and Boozer Aggie tennis wins only two sets as it falls to the Boise State Broncos BY ATHLETIC M E D I A RELATIONS Utah State women's tennis played a tough match against Boise State, before falling, 52, Thursday afternoon at the Sports Academy and Racquet iCRESTWOODS Brentwood 736 E 900 N Lynwood 880 N 650 E Edgewood 736 E 800 N Stay in the Very Best Single Student Housing •Practically on Campus •Full Bath in each bedroom •Washer and dryer in apartment •Free High Speed Internet •Fully Equipped kitchen •Furnished •Covered Parking (Edgewood) •Entire Summer from $450 •School Year: Private: $2130-$3060 Shared: $1890-$2370 755-3181 www.logancrestwoods.com Club. Aggies Courtney Anderson and Erin Monson both won their singles matches in two sets, earning the only points against the Broncos. USU now holds a record of 1-2.
