This is an outrage! I'm boycotting the NBA from here on out.
Guess he won't be starting this season.
I am all for TD sitting and resting during All Star weekend..
The spurs list him as a PF. So how could the NBA make in a center?
Yao must be listed as a PF then ...
So who's the starting PF for the Spurs? The only forward listed on the ballot is Bruce Bowen.

I guess this puts a crimp in Amare Stoudemire's All-Star weekend plans.
But I also guess that we won't have to hear all the noise about Luis Scola beating out Tim Duncan to start in the All-Star game.
Maybe Tim didn't want to go, so he requested to be moved to the center list because he knew he'd get beaten out by Yao![]()
I am hoping for Spurs- less All Star weekend... we could always use the rest.
Maybe it's so Carmelo Anthony could finally start in an ASG. Gotta give him some sort of handicap.
When Shaq made the all-star game last year after playing like 12 games before the voting ended I realized how big of a joke the whole thing is.
Timmy won't start, but neither should Amare. And I have no doubt that both will make the team.
Yao Ming will start, obviously, and per Tim's request the coaches will pick Amare as his backup.
After going 9 times, Tim probably thinks the whole All-Star deal is kind of re ed.
With 2 young children at home, and a repeat as a priority, let him stay home.
I hope he's not picked by the coaches.
His team needs him in the spring more than he needs another ASG appearance on his resume.
for the sake of history
i want Duncan to play and start so 10 years from now, he was an AS starter for his entire career
but hopefully media can verify if he is the one that wants to sit.
why would he risk himself when the game is held in NO
Yeah, I heard Duncan has a fear of hurricanes, besides sharks.
I think he thinks a hurricane might just sneak up on him.
Meh, big deal so he does not start but he will still be at the game. At this point in his career does it really matter???
When he is retired and forgotten by the people too young to remember him, it will be all the all star games started and rings won that define him.
TD should get into as many all star games as he can.
Even if the voters select someone else as the starter(most likely Yao) the coaches will vote him in as a reserve. Everyone else like Aldridge and Stoudermire is screwed.
no cause duncan is afraid of this

and ASG is a joke, the games arent as serious like the games back in the 90s
only because you have never been in one.
