Aldridge, Love, Dirk, Griffin and even Randolph.
No, it's not.

You said being voted in as a center was the only way he could make it, it's not.
No way the coaches break Duncan's AS streak in a year where his team is on pace for 70 wins.
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.
When Timmy D retires, you all better not add "15 time all-star" or whatever to the end of his legacy. If Duncan makes it over Love or Griffen, the all-star nod is obviously meaningless.
Exactly.
It's not as if the 12 best players in each conference (or the 12 players having the best first half of the season) comprise the All-Star teams each year.
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 there
good point. It'd be kinda awkward to see Timmy dragging himself out there. while guys like Griffin would be doing monster dunks after monster dunks. It's the allstar, let the kids play.
1 dunk in 41 games vs. how many dunks from Griffin????
heh....
Not that I disagree, but the 4 Pistons in 2006 where not exactly flashy.
the 4 pistons were playing at allstar level. Timmy is not.
that. If he goes, he's an allstar. No one is going to look back and analyze this in 20 years and say, "yeah, but he wasn't as good as Blake in 2010 so I'm not counting that one".
For as much as he has been underappreicated at times, he deserves every accolade he gets. So in the future, someone who never saw him play can say, "damn, he made the allstar game every season he played. he must have been pretty good."
Seriously?
If I you swap Kevin Love and Tim Duncan until the end of the season... how many wins do you think we would have?
Now, you're pushing it. If Timmy's stats aren't good enough for the All-Star, neither were Ben Wallace's.
check again. check the compe ion that Wallace was up against and come back...
not saying he deserves it over griffin.. but then again.. does being a dunker = an allstar player?
this is part of what i mean when i say the ASG spot isn't about how well you play but it's more so a popularity contest..
'ooh that guy can do a 360 between the legs.. let's vote him in'
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.
But not Rasheed Wallace his 15pts/6 rbds
I checked.
I'm back.
say what you may Duncan does not deserve allstar over Griffin/Love. Facts are facts.
and popularity contest is more for the allstar starters. The subs are actually selected from their play this season primarily.
This year's western conference >>>>>>> 2005-2006 eastern conference.
