Thunder journal: Paul George grateful to Oklahoma, world for All-Star starting nod

Paul George is going to the NBA All-Star Game as a starter.

The NBA announced its All-Star starters on Thursday, and George was voted as a starter out of the Western Conference for the first time in his career. It's George's third starting nod overall in nine seasons and sixth career All-Star selection. George was voted an Eastern Conference starter twice as a member of the Indiana Pacers (2014, 2016).

Because he received more fan votes, George was named a starter over New Orleans' Anthony Davis despite Davis receiving a higher percentage of the media and player vote.
