Bob Hill voted for Parker and Manu

[kolko]

Hill revealed his selections for the 55th All-Star Game. Coaches vote for players in their conference and can't choose their players. They must submit a roster that includes two guards, two forwards, a center and two "wild card" players. Hill's roster included: San Antonio's Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, Phoenix's Shawn Marion, Utah's Mehmet Okur and Elton Brand of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Thanks, Bob. :tu

That's because the other guard spot is probably going to be taken up by Ray Allen... and since he can't pick his own players....

[TDMVPDPOY]

I think his been monitoring the spurs ever since his been fired, a sign he wants his job back lmao

[abelle23]

i hope manu could still make it ...it would be nice to have 3 spurs in ASG!!! TD TP MG!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

For this moment, I love BOB.

Interesting for Hill to vote for two guys that his team hasn't yet played this season.

Yeah, he probably figures Manu doesn't have much of a shot this year, so there is no use giving his vote to a guard that DOES have a shot (baron or paul). Shrewd move by Mr. Hill.

It's his little :flipoff to Pop and the Spurs. He uses his votes trying to ensure that instead of spending a relaxing weekend resting and getting healthy Pop's guys will be traveling, dealing with a media circus and all the other crap that comes with being and All-star.

CIA Bob all over.

Very plausible reason indeed....

good job bob

[baseline bum]

Chris Paul deserves it over Manu this season IMO. It's sad that rookies get no love though, and Paul has no shot of being in Houston.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I think Tony will make it by coach vote..
but not so sure about Manu this year.

[rayray2k8]

no melo, camby, gasol, or barion davis? baron i guess falls out, but i think the other 3 are more deserving than manu or okur. You can make a case for M. Okur but camby's sticks out more.

I've said this before, and barring injury, Chris Paul WILL be in Houston.

I think The Truth hit the nail on the head. That was my first instinct and i couldn't believe everyone was praising him.

camby has missed too many games.

[ambchang]

perhaps he is trying to say that the team won 3 championships not because of Pop, but because of 3 All-Star players. ie, I could have coached them to 3 championships if I wasn't fired.

[picnroll]

Who was the last rookie to be named to the all-star game? Duncan?

[yeahone]

good se;ection coach that sdoes not mean we wont sweep the season series against yout team

[Manu20]

Who was the last rookie to be named to the all-star game? Duncan?

Yao Ming?

He made the right choice in picking Parker, but instead of picking someone where he could be a deciding vote, he wasted it on a player that had no chance in getting in, ensuring that Allen would still have a higher percentage.

Exactly.
