    Bruce has such a long windup he wouldn't get past the rack on top of the arc. I really think his camping out at the corners keeps him from getting chosen.

    Talk about a mind-psyche.
    Hope Ray Allen if first then when Bowen goes to pretend to guard him.

    Bingo. I applaud his percentage, but the guy literally stands in the corner with no one coming at him within 15ft, and takes about 3 3point shots a game.

    Grrr! this All-Star game is just becoming more Hollywood every yr. More hype than skills. They shld give credit to players who stand tall in the stats sheet.
    It's been that way for the better part of a decade. I watch some of the main game, and that's it. I look at it as my mid winter break from basketball, since there isn't any on that weekend.

    Terry Porter - Long Distance Shootout 2000
    Steve Smith - Long Distance Shootout 2002
    Tony Parker - Rookie Challenge 2002 (Rookie), 2003 (Soph), Skills Challenge 2003
    Manu Ginobili - Rookie Challenge 2003 (Rookie DNP-injured), 2004 (Soph)
    Beno Udrih - Rookie Challenge 2005 (Rookie)

    Larry Kenon and George Gervin were in at least one ABA Slam Dunk contest
    Don't forget about the time Sean Elliott was going to be in the slam dunk contest. I think it was in 1993 or 1994. Too bad he had to withdraw due to injury

    Didn't Steve Kerr and Manu participate in something with Sue Bird as a Spurs/Silver Stars team?

    Haha. Not Sue Bird -- she's on the Seattle team. But Jennifer Azzi, yes.

    He is the reason the Spurs won Game 7 last year
    ...and who can forget that 7-3pts, 2nd game West Semis vs the Lakers in 2003? that was one of my favorite Bruce moment. ShaQ was shocked!

    I beleive the shootout should be relegated to the guys who are considered true 3 point threats
    You'd think after the Finals last year, youd recognize Bruce Bowen as a true, 3 point threat.

    But typical from all the haters, no respect.

    What made that classic was,

    at the time Ghostwriter said to beat the Lakers, the guy defending Kobe, had to score within 13 points of Kobe.

    Bowen had like 27 and Kobe had what, 30?


    Most of the game, Bowen outscored him.

    A total ass whoopin, that game was.

    If Avery was smart he should pick Bowen for a reserve with Tony and Manu. 4 spurs total would be fun to watch.

    Except that the coach doesn't pick the reserves, ALL of the coaches do, collectively.
