Coaches add Bosh to all-stars

Chris Bosh feels he should be an NBA all-star every season he plays and it appears coaches agree with him.

The Raptors power forward was named yesterday to his fourth all-star team in four seasons, added to the Eastern Conference squad as a backup in balloting done by conference coaches.

"I have that expectation every year," Bosh said yesterday. "I try to play like that every time I step on the court and I believe I'm an all-star."

Bosh joins Boston's Paul Pierce, Orlando's Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis, New Jersey's Devin Harris, Indiana's Danny Granger and Joe Johnson of Atlanta as backups for the East.

Nelson, Lewis, Granger and Harris are first-time all-stars.

The game will be played Feb.15 in Phoenix.
