ORLANDO, Fla. -- This is the fourth consecutive year that Hornets point guard Chris Paul will be going to the NBA All-Star Game, but it's not getting old yet.It's only getting better.
"It's a huge honor, maybe now more than ever,'' Paul said Friday. "At my position, in the Western Conference, it really means something to be in that game.''
Paul will be starting for the West next weekend at the All-Star Game in Los Angeles, further evidence that he indeed has become the league's premier point guard in what is becoming a golden era for point guards.
"To me, it's the toughest, deepest position in the league now,'' Paul told FanHouse. "Think about it. Steve Nash and Tony Parker didn't even make the All-Star Game. And those are great point guards.''
Paul will be getting his second starting assignment in the league's showcase event. He also started in 2009. He was voted in by the coaches as a reserve in 2008 and 2010.
