NBA All-Star game ngayon

GAGAWIN ngayong umaga, oras sa Pilipinas, ang taunang All-Star Game ng National Basketball Association (NBA) sa New Orleans, Louisiana.

Pangungunahan ni Kevin Durant ng Oklahoma City Thunder ang West All-Stars na nanalo ng tatlong sunod na laro sa nasabing serye.

Ngunit hindi makalalaro si Kobe Bryant ngayong taong ito dahil nagpapagaling pa siya ng kanyang pilay sa paa.

“We all like to see good basketball,” wika ni Durant na nag-a-average ng 31.5 puntos bawat laro ngayong season. “I just go out there and play my game, control what I can control, play as hard as I can play, play the best I can for my team. That’s all I can control.”

Kasama ni Bryant sa West All-Stars sina Stephen Curry, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Dwight Howard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Paul, James Harden, Tony Parker, Damian Lillard at Anthony Davis.

Ang East All-Stars naman ay pagbibidahan ng superstar ng Miami Heat na si LeBron James, kasama sina Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Joakim Noah, Roy Hibbert, Chris Bosh, Paul Millsap, John Wall, Joe Johnson at Demar DeRozan.

“It’s hard to knock anybody off,” ani James. “There needs to be another mountain built. There are so many greats that have played this game.”

Ang NBA All-Star Game ay mapapanood nang live sa Basketball TV at sa ABS-CBN Sports+Action Channel 23.
