The reserves for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game have yet to be announced, so there are a bunch of ballers on the bubble waiting to hear their name called.
The fan-voted starters were announced on Jan. 17, and that's a group of megastars. The reserves will be announced on Jan. 24. There are also some stars, such as Russell Westbrook, Tim Duncan and James Harden, who are sure bets to be coach-selected reserves.
But what about the reserve candidates who aren't locks to make the team? Who are the biggest names in that group?
The Eastern Conference frontcourt will be a tricky one to fill out, as some Big Apple centers are vying for a spot. In the West, a trio of marquee power forwards are jockeying for position.
*Statistics gathered from Basketball-Reference.com, accurate as of Jan. 18, 2013.
**Players who are considered "locks" to be reserves, and therefore not "on the bubble," are Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Joakim Noah, Chris Bosh and Kyrie Irving.
