This really surprised me because T-Mac was way up in the votes. He said he rather not play the game, rest, and let the ones who deserved more play, I guess the fans heard him. Still, as a big fan, it's going to be really weird to see an All Star Game without T-Mac, sounds crazy to me (I follow the NBA since 2003), he's been a starter since being with the Magic, and had he not had the injuries he probably would have made it (there's no way he's going to be chosen by the coaches). On the other hand, T-Mac will be focused on the end of the season, which is much more important. He'll get a good rest. He's fine with it, that's okay.
I don't know how AI overtook the vote so quickly (seems unheard of) and don't care. If no All-Star game means a better Tmac for the regular season I'll take it.
I really did not like the other guy's post, but you definitely came across as the jackass on this one. You obviously did not read the post at all. I saw one grammatical mistake in his entire post compared to the two I highlighted in your two "sentences".
he will play with a chip on his shoulder the rest of the season it is good for us as a team HELL YEAH I AM HAPPY welcome back TMAC
I have an advice for you on how to improve yourself as an internet discussion forum poster: Look in the mirror everyday in the morning and say the quote to yourself at least 10 times.
stern has something to do with it. imagine if stern has to face the media and choose a player to replace him (a lot of politics would go into it and someone would be left off and the media will criticize him). this will solve all of it. for iverson to have won, there would have ZERO votes for tracy for 2 weeks and iverson would have to get 8-9000 votes PER DAY for 1.5 weeks. how possible is that? u really think he would get 8-9000 votes per day to cover the 90-100k in votes?
