Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics and Mehmet Okur of the Utah Jazz have been named by NBA Commissioner David Stern as a replacements for injured West All-Stars Allen Iverson (ankle) of the Denver Nuggets and Steve Nash (shoulder) of the Phoenix Suns for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 18 in Las Vegas.</div> http://www.nba.com/allstar2007/news/allen_okur_070213.html RiverspoonJones will be in attendance, so at least he has some genuine love to cheer for now.
You know, when Allen signed that new contract, I thought he was going to go on the decline, but he continues to get post a career high in PPG at 31 years old. Unbelievable.
Personally I would have chosen Deron Williams, but to each their own. Ray definitely hasn't sat on his contract. At this rate he will break Reggie Miller's career mark for 3's for sure. I am very impressed how he's carried himself on and off the court this year -- too bad it hasn't translated into wins. Funny quote from Bob Hill: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"He doesn't smoke, I don't think he drinks, he stays in great shape," Hill said. "I think that's a byproduct (of his success). He's in great physical shape. I don't know what else to say about him. I am not going to say he's a perfect human being, but he's close."</div> Link The things that you will say to keep your job. 5 1/2 games out of a playoff spot it isn't impossible for him to keep it.
