Amar’e Stoudemire became the first New York Knicks player to be chosen to start the National Basketball Association All-Star Game since 1992.
Stoudemire, who scored a team-high 24 points last night as the Knicks beat the Miami Heat 93-88, is the fifth Knicks player to be named a starter since fan voting began in 1974-75. The last Knicks player to start was Patrick Ewing, who was elected again in 1997 though he couldn’t play because of a groin injury.
