In the history of the NBA All-Star Game, a team has had four players make its conference All-Star roster only seven times. The problem facing Golden State's quartet is that the Western Conference boasts a slew of deserving candidates for only 12 spots. Durant and Curry are big enough attractions to be voted starters by fans, media and players. The real intrigue comes when the league's coaches pick the reserves, an especially daunting task this year. In addition to the established names, Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns, Utah's Gordon Hayward and the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan are strong candidates to make their first All-Star appearances. Green, an early front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, could be hurt by the fact that he is fourth on his own team with 10.6 points per game. Before Durant railed against the NBA on Tuesday for calling out officials' mistakes in its last-two-minute reports, Kerr said he appreciated that the league "is being transparent with the officiating." When asked Wednesday evening about Durant's comments, Kerr clarified that he agreed with Durant's stance that the reports are unfair to referees.
