NBA.com didn't write anything about that. Anyway that doesn't mean anything. All Star Game sucks, Tracy probably will not play anyway

Any links? direct links? But as I said. ASG really doesn't matter. It is all about how he is playin' in season, cause we need wins

Well, T-Mac got his wish. This can have double benefit. First, T-Mac gets to rest his bum knee. Second, hopefully T-Mac will take it as slight and plays with chip on his shoulder. No matter what he says publicly, this got to sting.

If it's true i'd be shocked. A 100k swing in less than 2 weeks? The vote was fixed.

Good stuff. Still means one of the guards will get snubbed b/c AI shouldn't be there either.

I like that he is out. He doesn't deserve it and he gets to rest his knee. He admitted he didn't deserve to be there so I am sure this doesn't bother him.

Top 5 in scoring, top 10 in ast, Top 10 in steals, and the Nuggets are 6th in the West. Don't hate on him.

For some reason I knew this would happen. Iverson was slowly creeping up on him every time the drawings came out and I remember specifically telling somebody that I doubt he makes it.

Anyway, he doesn't deserve it. When healthy? Obviously, but he's been anything but this season and there are many more deserving guards with guys like Iverson, Paul, Nash, Roy, and Baron.

This would stop his all-star streak at 7.

Once again, this is a consequence of McGrady running his mouth. When McGrady said he's willing to give up his all-star spot, the voting didn't even end. He should have waited until the voting was officially over. As a result of saying such thing, I am sure the fan votes shifted in favor of A.I.

Good. Now Mcgrady can rest during the ASG. I'm pretty sure T-mac didn't want to play in this year's ASG (regardless of whether he felt like he deserved it or not).

1. Last year he openly admitted to not feeling safe

2. He wants to rest because of his injury

I'm sad that he won't be in the game because I love repping the Rockets, but I'm happy because hopefully this helps toward the effort of salvaging our season.

Yeah but someone is going to get snubbed, someone like Roy most likely...And that shouldn't be happening because Roy is having a better season leading his team then AI.

Too bad Baron or Paul didn't go in AI place.

AI is the bigger star. hopefully baron, paul, nash and maybe parker make it.

roy - meh - he's still young. let him wait it out - maybe the portland fan base will go crazy, but they deserve it! lol.

baron better get it as a tribute to his playoff race last year. paul because he's the best point guard next to nash.

What? He doesn't deserve it, games played is a factor as well.
