1. Kidd is a Maverick
2. Stern saves money on a plane ticket and hotel costs
3. Mavs are one of the best teams in the West and Kidd is second fiddle to Dirk.
4. Kidd will make the all star game fun to watch dishing alley oops and fancy passes to the other score first mentality players

Only because it was in Dallas, plus he hasn't sucked this year.

He could skip Golden State as well but he'd probably want to be in ready for Boston.

Kobe still gets credit for being an all star right?

So is he still helping Shannon in the slam dunk contest or is someone else stepping in for that too? It'd suck for Shannon that all his prior preparations would have to change a week before the all star weekend.

I imagine he'll be there. All the All-Stars, even the injured players, have responsibilities during the weekend with community events and everything.

I guess the poster kobesmyhomie finally talked some sense into Kobe about resting.

Another step in the right direction, Kobe.
But Boozer should be on this team, come on now.

This Kidd pick was definitely a convenient hometown pick. All three of these guys should be in over him, but I prefer Evans.

Kobe will have 11 days off if he plays vs. the Warriors. Just what his body asked for.

The NBA is so pathetic. that lie about iverson was ridiculous already. now they bring in kidd. seriously, is that fair? no way has he earned this, it is all shrewd politics.
