    Voted! TP deserves it because he will most probably not be voted at the All-Star game, a little consolation for him. He deserves to have some fun in LA and enjoy. Besides, it's just a Skills Challenge! It is highly unlikely that he will injure himself, it's like 99.99% safe.

    You guys make it seem like Tony's going to get injured during the challenge...


    If theres anyone on the Spurs uniform that wants to be a part of the All Star break it's Tony...


    I'm voting... lots of times.

    While I'd be inclined to agree for the most part, if Parker is selected to participate, that is a lot of extra travel and time spent on the road, at events, doing P.R., etc...that could otherwise be spent chilling and resting. It's almost like he has to take on the hassle of going to the ASG without getting the fully glory.

    I have to go to Jury Duty on Monday. Sure, I'll be glad to get out of work, but it's hardly a day off by any means.

    That being said, a little camera time and two more flights isn't going to kill the guy or the team. Sure, it would be great for Tony to get a long weekend, but it's not the fan's job to coddle star players, and he'd probably enjoy being along with Pop (and Tim and/or Manu) for the ride.

    Do you think Rajon Rondo should be on the list rather the Fisher?

    For Tony, those travel, events and PR stuff are chillin' n resting for him, he enjoys those kind of things, and besides, he get to go with Pop, Tim and Manu, and probably Blair, Neal and Bonner too.

    It's not a matter of risquing a injury, it's more about having a real break before the last run...

    + The team would benefit from Tony being "frustrated" by the lack of respect and wanting to shut their mouths...

    So I was voting for TP, and I looked up on my screen and saw this...



    Who sees it? Of course the first thing I thought was "how did they find out?"

    forget it man.. i hate how i have to explain everyting literally on here but you basically elaborated on what i was trying to say earlier..

    it's not like im saying TP is at severe risk of a high ankle sprain because of an allstar game.. i'm just at risk of the same thing walking down the stairs of my house.. what im saying is.. there are 82 games a season.. it starts to get grueling and if you can get a good 3 - 4 days of rest.. it's more beneficial IMO.. it's not as if he laces up his nike's and heads over to the gym, sweats a bit.. then calls it a night..

    I hope he gets to go to All-Star Weekend. He'll love it. He deserves to be there with Tim and Manu I think.

    He deserves to go as an all-star, not the skills challenge. I would rather that he get some rest over the weekend, and build up a lot frustration about not being picked for the ASG. He will be a Terror for the rest of the reason with that chip on his shoulder.
    While I am sure he would be glad to sit behind Tim and Manu at the game and bust their balls, I am sure he would rather be playing. Given all the Celtics in the ASG, it seems Tony would have made it too.

    I wonder how he feels personally about Timmy and Manu being All Stars and he isn't. Knowing good and well without TP9 we are not 46-9 by a long shot.

    I really hope he doesn't make it...

    1- He's not good at it
    2- His rest would benefit the team

    The NBA announced Thursday night that Derrick Rose, John Wall, Stephen Curry, and Russell Westbrook have been voted in to join Chris Paul in the Taco-Bell Skills Compe ion on NBA All-Star Weekend Saturday Night. The crew represents a young field of challengers, with Curry the oldest at 22 (by only about a few months over Rose and Westbrook, also 22), and Wall the youngest at 20.

    John Wall being in there is a joke. The guy is extremely overrated. It should've been TP, Westbrook, Rose, and one of Curry or Evans...

    It's just a popularity contest anyway. We all know that Parker isn't going to win many of those among NBA fans.
