Tracy McGrady, second among Western Conference guards in All-Star voting, said Thursday he would like to give his spot to a more deserving player. That, however, is not an option 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."
Players who are able to play prior to the All-Star Game, which takes place Feb. 17 in New Orleans, are required to play in the game.
Saw this posted on the Rockets forum. How often does a player offer to give up his spot?
