Stern wants to make sure the NBA All Star game doesn’t go the way of the NFL Pro Bowl where no one gives a damn about playing and nobody watches. Right now the NBA All-Star game and weekend is the funnest one to watch in Major League sports. Maybe if the NFL added a pancake block or decleater hitting contest they could compete with the 3 point shooting contest, dunk contest and home run derby. Until then, did you even see the NFL pro bowl? Neither did I.

Yes it was cute of him to make an appearance, but if you can’t play and you know you can’t play why not let others step in who want to? On the contrary Pro Bowlers were dropping out left and right like flies while receiving backlash for their absence.

Think anyone would complain if Kobe dropped out?

Real men do not b-tch !

Speaking of Monta, how about sending the “Mississippi Missile” down to Nawlens for the All-Star game? I’m sure the Southern fans would find some hospitality for the Kid Flash they dubbed “Old School” back when he was lighting them up in HS. No boos for Monta is good for Stern. Okay, I’m probably a season too soon for that, so table it until next year. I’ve got 2/3 odds on Ellis making next years ASG.

Baron is gonna be jobbed on the All Star game no matter what. Too bad, but it looks like the bad blood from his past is paying with compound interest this year. This could potentially be his last chance at an ASG. Guys are going to look back at his career and be dumbfounded that he didn’t go to more All-Star Games.

Do we really when to pay the price(like his sundance thing) for a bad performance just because he didn’t get to rest over the weekend?

Deron Williams has played 3 times better than Barron Davis since the “snubs”.. Count on seeing D-Will in the All-star game!

i guess one thing he is afraid of is not having the PT with jefferson and carter manning the 2/3 spot. then he’s worse off than staying in Dallas and getting the spot minutes. that i can understand.

By getting traded he would lose those rights and is given the opportunity to block a trade.
I was also thinking how crappy it would be if the Kidd deals go through, Kobe opts to not play in the All star game and is replaced by Kidd, Baron gets screwed again and another player undeserving of All-Stardom in the East get a bogus bid.

(people hate him there because of his trade request a couple of years ago)

on an nba question: why is a small potato like devean george holding up a blockbuster trade and possibly the fate of two franchises? just who the heck he think he is. his on the court abilities dont even deserve to have a no trade clause, let alone exercising it. marginal players have no right to decline trades.
