Bad news for Pau Gasol: He’ll have to impress coaches from other teams to make the Western Conference squad for the Feb. 14 game. Jackson despises coaching in the All-Star game — he’d rather enjoy a long weekend of rest and relaxation — and he won’t have to worry about it this season because of an NBA rule that bans coaches from appearing in it two seasons in a row.

It’s still early, but other possible reserve forwards are Gasol, Utah’s Carlos Boozer, Memphis’ Rudy Gay, Phoenix’s Amare Stoudemire, Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge and, yes, Houston’s Trevor Ariza.

Lafan9 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Allstar game is all good, but I'd rather see Gasol getting more and more with the team flow than trying to bust his way to the allstar game (take like 30 shots a game), however I'll probably vote for Gasol, based on how west,boozer, and Stoudemire aren't haven't exceptional years so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
