If Yao starts in the All-Star Game....

He will skip the All-Rookie game.

 

Duncan did not play in his rookie game.

 

*sigh* i've seen this question answered ad nauseum.


if yao makes the allstar team, which really isn't an "if", then he cannot play in the rookie game.

 

Can he participate in the 3-point and slam dunk contests?

 

I have a better question. If Yao DOESN'T make the All Star team next year as a starter, do you think he will be voted in? If not, do you think it's fair for the rookies if he plays for the sophomores? Did Duncan play with the sophomores?

 

fair?!

you're damned right it's fair! what are we, handicapping basketball games now?


as for duncan, he did not play for the sophomores for the same reason yao ming will not play for the rookies this year.
