We need to make it permanent!....Jason Collins mind as well start

No coach had a decision in replacing a big with a small, that decision was left entirely to the commissioner and he did it because the best team in the league that year kept bitching that they had only one allstar representative. Dynamics of a roster apply more to a coach than a lawyer.

Funny. You argue that position is a factor in Allstar voting but in the same breath you say that David Stern went against Formality and replaced Chris Bosh with Mo Williams? Why not replace Bosh with the next best Center? What is David Stern Some lawyer who doesn't understand the rules to basketball now?

or

Maybe Stern knows that coaches know best and gave the coaches what they wanted instead of putting Rasheed Wallace on the floor?

Or maybe Stern decided to send someone who actually wanted to play in an All-Star game.

I have seen Rasheed Wallace at several all-star weekends. And the obvious truth -- he'll tell anyone who asks -- is that he doesn't want to be there. That is not his brand of hoopla. He's all about his teammates, his family, and resting. He doesn't want to be singled out for praise, and he sure doesn't want to trapse from event to event smiling for the camera and kissing babies like a politician.
