In the West there's plenty of PFs much more deserving than Duncan and since he wants to be labeled as a PF than he shouldn't be put in as center because it's the only he makes it.

meh i don't care about duncan's allstar streak / him missing the allstar game if he comes to that..
first.. coaches will vote him in or he'll replace yao so im sure he's gonna be in it..
second.. the allstar spot doesn't hold as much merit as it did back in the 90's.. nowadays it's more like a popularity contest.. so it's a joke to me now..
third.. i'd be more upset if i don't see parker and / or manu in the allstar game neither.. it's blatant hypocrisy for a team to have the best record in the league yet not one all star player..
many spursfan in denial up in here.
Duncan does not deserve allstar this season. wake up.
I'm not saying he deserves it, just that he's going to get it.Quote:

Exactly.Quote:

Why would you even want to see him in the game? It's not like his style of play now is suited for an ASG?
He'd probably only play 5 min tops so isn't this all kinda pointless anyway?
Agree, he'll be thereQuote:

Seriously?Quote:

Now, you're pushing it. If Timmy's stats aren't good enough for the All-Star, neither were Ben Wallace's.Quote:

the video was meant to show that duncan isn't as washed up as many of y'all make him out to be.. he's still averaging a near double double.. he's just playing a role this season.. im sure if we force fed the ball thru him more than we're doing thru parker / manu, his numbers would go up..
He had some great stats (Edit: for a center in the East) indeed.Quote:
