The NBA has unveiled the complete rosters for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game.

The league announced its starters last week and now the NBA has unveiled the bench mobs for the East and the West.

For the West, Tim Duncan will be heading to the All-Star game for the 14th time. Among active players, only Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett have more all-star games under their belt.

Duncan will be joined by LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers, James Harden of the Houston Rockets, David Lee  of the Golden State Warriors, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs, Zach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzlies and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard will be starting for the West.

In the East, Chris Bosh leads a group of reserves that consists of five first time all-stars. Bosh, who will be heading to the game for the 8th time, will be joined by Tyson Chandler of the New York Knicks, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, Jrue Holiday of the Philadelphia 76ers, Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Caviliers, and Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls. Luol Deng will also be making the trip from Chicago. This will be Deng’s second consecutive All-Star appearance.

I can’t believe it… This has been a long journey. I want to thank all my teammates and my mother for dealing with all my shitiness.

Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett will be starting in the East.

The MLB All-Star rosters were unveiled this weekend during a special selection show on TBS.

For the American League, Josh Hamilton was the biggest vote getter this year. According to MLB.com, the Rangers outfielder received a record setting 11,073,744 votes. He is the third Rangers player to finish at the top of the MLB All-Star poll.

Hamilton said:

“Oh man, it’s crazy…. Thinking about that many people voting, it means a lot. To get that many votes is pretty special.”

Hamilton will be joined by Prince Fielder, Robinson Cano, and Derek Jeter as the American League aims to stop the National League’s two all-star game win streak. (The American League won 13 consecutive all-star games but lost the last two.)

Jeter said:

“I’ve always told you guys every time I’m at an All-Star Game how much I appreciate going and how much fun I have… Unfortunately, last year I didn’t have a chance to go, but I’m looking forward to it this year.”

Here is the MLB All-Star Roster for the American League.
