At least there weren't FOUR suns picked like they picked FOUR lakers in 98.
That was rediculous.
Rashard Lewis has the softest game for someone 6'10" this side of Hedo.

Ginobili was listed as a forward on ESPN. Well congrats to Manu!
He got his hair done!
You have to give Seattle, SA and Phoenix at least ywo players....they are the class of the West so far.
IIRC Precident in the past is that if a starter cannot go, the Commissioner usually picks the next highest vote-getter in that position.
Could someone confirm this?
That is great news!!
Tony is 6th among the guards voted by fans, so he should be selected if Kobe is injured (assuming the above criteria is correct).
Jason Richardson, Bibby or Webber should have been selected over Manu.
Manu doesn't have the overall numbers.
I skipped school for this .
Congrats to Manu!
I thinks this works out best for the Spurs. I feel bad for TP but he does play better when he feels slighted and Manu plays better when he's in the spotlight.
I think Tony will participate in the Skills Challenge; so they'll be a lot of Spurs in Denver.
Has there every been this many reps from SA in the All Star festivities??
Rascal the all star game isn't about overall #'s.
I think I read on his site he will not unless he plays in allstar game
I thought I read that he WOULD do the Skill Challenge if he was not selected to the AllStar team.I think I read on his site he will not unless he plays in allstar game
We'll see.
I heard in his radio show that he would rather go in Las Vegas with his friend Diaw (Hawks player) than go to Denver for the skills challenge.
What is his skill?
Picking up hotties from television?

What a joke.Jason Richardson, Bibby or Webber should have been selected over Manu.
Manu doesn't have the overall numbers.
So what do the coaches know, eh?
Don't get too excited with pop coaching the team Duncan and Manu may play 10 minutes.
Sour grapes from a negative fvck like you. Why am I not surprised?
Are you a spurs fan at all? Instead of being happy for Manu you say you would pick JRich over him.
French kiss a colt, pull the trigger and get it over with, pathetic looser.

Ginobili to play in All-Star Game

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Manu Ginobili has been selected as a reserve for the Western Conference All-Star team.
Ginobili joins Tim Duncan, who was voted a starter last week, at the All-Star Game Feb. 20 in Denver. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and his staff will coach the West. Beno Udrih will play in the Rookie Challenge on a team coached by Spurs assistant P.J. Carlesimo.
Ginobili is the first Spurs guard since Alvin Robertson in 1988 to make the All-Star Game.
“If you would have told me a month ago, I would have been very surprised,” Ginobili said. “But in the last couple of weeks people have been talking about that, so you start to realize you may have a chance.
“For me, this is huge. Terribly huge.”
Tony Parker was not among the other six reserves selected. He still has the opportunity to be chosen as a replacement by NBA commissioner David Stern if any of the West’s 12 All-Stars can’t play because of injury.
NBA head coaches voted on the reserves for their respective conferences. They weren’t allowed to vote for their own players.
Phoenix’s Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and Shawn Marion, Seattle’s Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, and Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki are the other West reserves.
“I’m very, very honored because the coaches are the ones who are watching tapes 24-7,” Ginobili said. “Sometimes you may have a special relationship with the fans because the way you play or because where you are from, but coaches are coaches. They don’t care where you are from. They just care if you play good.”
The Eastern Conference reserves are Miami's Dwyane Wade, Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison of the Washington Wizards, Zydrunas Ilgauskas of Cleveland, Ben Wallace of Detroit, Jermaine O'Neal of Indiana and Paul Pierce of Boston.
Notes: Popovich said Duncan, who has a sprained right ankle, will not play tonight against Charlotte. Rasho Nesterovic will be activated from the injured list after missing the past six games with a sprained left ankle.

Congrats..Manu..
i still can't fall asleep even it's 4:35am here..
The only downside is that Barkely will have to go! (Actually, I like Chuck = I attended Auburn for some graduate work for while after he was there and he was by reputation a party animal as well as a heck of a BB player even back then.)
