    Kevin Love will be going to the NBA All-Star Game.

    The NBA's leading rebounder was added to the Western Conference roster on Friday night by commissioner David Stern as the injury replacement for Houston center Yao Ming.

    Love said he was "shocked" when Rambis delivered the news about his All-Star nod in front of the entire team about 30 minutes before the game.

    "I was looking at him like 'What are you talking about?' " Love said. "I looked around like 'Is Ashton Kutcher about to pop up in here?' "

    Love was arguably the biggest snub when reserves were announced Thursday night. He entered play Friday averaging 21.4 points and 15.5 rebounds, and shooting 43.9 percent from 3-point range. He has 34 straight double-doubles, but was undoubtedly hurt by his Minnesota Timberwolves' 11-37 record when West coaches voted.

    21 & 15 and he is picked last?

    Some serious BS Stern, however; good on him for making it.
