The NBA starters for the 2013 All-Star game were announced on Thursday. Bryant got voted to an NBA-record 15th consecutive starting spot.

There are four players out of Los Angeles starting for the West, with Bryant headlining the group comprised of teammate Dwight Howard and Clippers Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. The MVP of last year’s game, Kevin Durant, is the lone West starter not ballin’ out in La La Land.

In the East, Kevin Garnett narrowly edged out Chris Bosh for the starting nod, giving both the Celtics and the Heat two starters apiece.
