Bryant, Magic, Leslie join Shooting Stars

Associated Press

NEW YORK - NBA scoring leader Kobe Bryant will team with former Lakers great Magic Johnson and Los Angeles Sparks center Lisa Leslie in the Shooting Stars competition on Saturday night of All-Star weekend.
There are four teams in the event, with the object to make shots from six locations in the fastest time. Teams are made up of a current and former NBA player from its city, plus one WNBA player.
Johnson and Leslie, the WNBA's career scoring leader, won the event two years ago with Derek Fisher. This time they get Bryant, who leads the league with 35.2 points a game.
Shawn Marion and former Suns star Dan Majerle are back for defending champion Phoenix, but Diana Taurasi will be replaced by Mercury guard Kelly Miller, the WNBA's Most Improved Player in 2004.
Tracy McGrady, Clyde Drexler and two-time WNBA MVP Sheryl Swoopes will represent hometown Houston, while the San Antonio team consists of Tony Parker, Steve Kerr and Silver Stars forward Kendra Wecker.
The winning team earns $45,000, with $33,750 going to the runner-up. The third- and fourth-place teams each earn $16,875.
