    If you thought Steve was snobbed you would be wrong. I never thought for a sec. that he would make it. The All star coach chooses the reserves, and this year the Kings coach is the man. so If you hear rumors that your main man Webber is thinking about NY ans Houston, than you sure dont want to invite Houstons star, and best recruiter to your little party. Finley is surely deserving of the honor, so its not like he is choosing Doug Cristie or something. It is a smart choice for him, and Steve will get his dont you worry.

    peace

    The All Star coach (Adelman) DOES NOT choose the reserves. The reserves are chosen in a vote by the coaches around the league.

    err it was a typo

    my poor english and spelling I can blame on computers, and not on any politician. although the Reagan Bush years covered my kindergarten(1980) through 12th(1993) grade technically
    If you are really quick you will pick up that i must have stayed back a year... well it was kindergarten, i am a November baby and they have weird policies in NY public schools


    back on topic. Im pretty sure its the Allstar coaches, because back when Riley was the East's coach he picked Ewing and he deffinately didnt deserve it. A lot of people were upset especially because that was when Shaq, Zo, and Mutumbo were all in the east with Ewing. These are just my memories, and recolections, but since I was poorly educated maybe it was ME that was Snuffed, or Snubbed, or snooped or snogged(damn I wish I was snogged) depending on your school of thought

    PEACE

    It's all the coaches, not the one chosen to coach the team.

    Since you don't want to believe me, perhaps this quote from the article on the ESPN web site will convince you:

    "Fourteen players were picked in a vote by coaches as reserves for the Feb. 11 game at Washington."

    To prove I did not make this up as well, you can find the article at:

    I guess i will go ahead and crush the next misconception before it gets started. If a player is unable to participate then David Stern picks the replacements. So if Steve doesn't become a replacement it is not because of Adelman.
