Ray Ray in N'Orleans

Per wiretap he is replacing Butler.

Does this count as him making the allstar team? I thought I read somewhere that even though he will be playing in it, that it doesnt count as making the squad.

It still counts. He is now considered an 8-time all star, which just helps him out all the more when he's up for the Hall of Fame.

Now let's get him a ring to help out the cause even more. :wink:

Agreed. Thatd be great, good to see the whole big 3 get recognized though...I still say Rondo tearing it up in the rookie/soph game will be the best part of the weekend for C's fans though.

Yeah I definitely see both sides of this, but still overall I like it because I wouldnt want Ray to feel slighted...after all its the big three not the big 2 or 2 and a half.

I knew Ray's would count as an All-Star/All-Star appearance, but I've got a similar question: does KG count?

I think so, but I'm not 100% sure...can someone confirm it does (or doesn't)?

TrickyRicky, I hear you, but I think it's good that he was chosen for psyche. He probably wouldn't play that much and it still is a break. Once we have the home court clinched, we'll see both Ray and Paul get some games off to rest up.

Ya true, especially since the other two made it he might feel left out and demand more shots. Itll be good to see another celtic there

i don't think ray is that kind of person. he a grown adult. come on!

he isn't kobe! its team first. probably one of the most respectful gusy in the entire league. most reporters enjoy talking to him. great interview..and i don't think its a fake act on is part...like...well....kobe!

i tell the truth about that dude.

i still want him taking the last second shot if he was on my team.

but for real, ray isn't some baby who is going to cry about a snub and then take an obscene amount of shots at the expense of the team.

tyson chandler though...i have a soft place in my heart for.

are you sure you don't have a bit of man crush on the kobester, cuz you seem offended?

i think i called him a chucker on another board, but only cuz i want peja to win three point contest, other than that, i don't post much about kobe or even go the lakers board, but whatever dude!

it would be kinda weird if you look back on all my posts though...lol.

I dont think he is either, he seems like one of the biggest class acts on the team, u would even think if someone said 2 of the 3 can go he would say put KG and Paul on the team.

tricky ricky ftw..totally agree that ray would do something that classy.
i heard he wanted to have a vacation when he wasn't put in by the coaches, with his family. i guess its cancelled!

that Craig McDermott just wants to start something.

pretty stupid if thats your real name bro.

This can't be going over well on the ORlando board.
