What should be more important for consideration, the performance during the past playoff and the finals? or the performance during the first months of a regular season?
Manu doesn't deserve to be in the All-Star game this year. With all of the injuries, he hasn't played like an All-Star. Hopefully, Parker gets in so we at least have two Spurs in the game.

Neither. Just ask Chauncey Billups, Mr. 2004 Finals MVP and runner up 2005 Finals MVP and Rip Hamilton. The All star game is based on popularity. Period.
Talking about consideration on coaches decition, when they choose the reserves, not about the Ballot.
Histroically, selection as an All-Star reserve is based upon performance in the first half of the regular season.
Performance in the playoffs and Finals is rewarded with championship rings and banners.
Couldn't have said it better. People who do all badass in the first half of the season are the ones going to the all-star game - that simple.
It will come down to the coach's vote. Anything can happen from now to the end of the balloting. If Manu plays well, who knows, the coachs might send him in. I think that would be unfair though
Manu isn't going to get voted in by the fans or the coaches.
He isn't as popular as the other guards to drum up votes from the fans and he is averaging lesser numbers than he did last year so he won't get voted in by the coaches. If he makes a reserve it would be really suprising in a bad way.
Nope said it last yr that it would probably be his first and last yr being an All Star. To many popular guards in the west. Kobe, T-Mac, Nash, Allen, Davis, Richardson playing better, so is Parker.
Hedo > Manu in 2005.
F O R GET THE DU MB AL L ST AR Z GA ME!
We have a championship round coming up... MANU does not need to be playing in some stupid exhibition game..
Anything is possible, but I think this is Tony's year.
I thought so too. But I just read that Manu is still 3rd in West guards voting while Tony is 5th. So the only way Tony will probably get in is by coaches voting.
Although, I'm thinking if Tony doesn't make the All Star game, that may drive him to be even better from Feb-Juneto prove that he should have been on the team.
Beyond Tim Duncan, I don't think that a current Spur will get first team, but I remember last year that there were coaches saying they were surprised that TP didn't make the team, so they will probably vote for him over Manu this year. Manu was obviously thrilled to be there, but we know he didn't get to do much during the game. Since Tony is a PG, he'll be in a better position to control who gets the ball.
McGrady is listed as a forward this year, which is why Duncan won't start.
