NBA All star game!

Thousands of journalists, NBA workers, fans, and players are crowding LA Live ... A friend just ran into James Worthy at the airport. It culminates Sunday when Kobe Bryant he leads the Western Conference against an East team that features seven players from Boston and Miami. Just as things started to heat up, KPCC's Brian Watt talked with the NBA's PIO, Tim Frank.
