"Minnesota forward Kevin Love is a little surprised to see Tim Duncan on the West All-Star team.

Duncan is averaging 13.5 points per game – lowest of any West All-Star. But the 14-year veteran has provided strong inside play for the Spurs as they've raced to the league's best record.

Love, who was added to the team as a replacement for the injured Yao Ming, said he thought that players with more spectacular highlights would be picked to the team."
