The news has just leaked that the Portland Trail Blazers’ Brandon Roy has been selected as a reserve for the Western Conference All-Star team.
This is Roy’s third All-Star selection, although it’s unclear if he will actually make his way to Dallas for the February 14th game due to his current hamstring injury. Roy initially finished tenth in fan voting (with 600,202 less votes than the nonexistent career of Tracy McGrady), but was picked by the league’s coaches as a reserve player.
Congrats, B-Roy.
Isn’t it a Stern rule that if he’s voted onto the team, he has to attend?
Not sure. I assume he attends the game and the ceremonies, but doesn’t play.
