Houston Chronicle -
Rockets forward Tracy McGrady, who has been injured most of the season and is currently the second leading vote getter at the forward spot in the West, says he wants to give his place in the All-Star game to someone more deserving.
However, this is not something that the NBA allows.
"Any time you are chosen to become an All-Star, especially having had the season I've had, there's other guys definitely having better seasons than me," McGrady said. "If it was my choice, I would select another guy to participate in my spot because I see other guards that are having outstanding seasons."

I think this would be a good idea for numerous reasons... team isn't good (not bad), would get extra rest on his body, not possibly get hurt again, and other guys are deserving.
