Now, the Lakers, with Bryant’s low, left with only one player for the All-Star Game, the Spanish power forward Pau Gasol, who was elected for the third time in his career in the selection of the reservations made by the Coaches of teams in the Western Conference.
Last night, the Lakers coach, Phil Jackson, has announced that Bryant was not playing, but the final decision must be taken by the team’s star, who now have 10 days off to recover fully from the injury suffered left ankle.
David Lee debut
Iverson, who was also elected by popular vote to be a starter with the team in the Eastern Conference for the tenth time, has had to deal with several family problems and can not play what would be his eleventh All-Star Game.
Commissioner Stern chose to center David Lee, of New York Knicks, which has so far had 30 ‘double-doubles’ as a substitute for Iverson for what will be his first All-Star Game.
The replacement for the post of head of Iverson in the Eastern Conference team will be decided by the coach Stan Van Gundy of the Orlando Magic, who will be responsible for leading the team.
