| Tracy McGrady may skip All-Star Game Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets says that he might skip next year's All-Star Game in New Orleans.
T-Mac told the AP yesterday, "When they first mentioned to me that the All-Star game was going to be in New Orleans, the first thing I thought about is how much security they are going to have for the players and everybody there... I don't think it's the right city to have this type of event right now. I know the city is in need of trying to get back on their feet, in need of money. Safety comes first. I'm sure they have to do a lot of research and look into before they really make this decision."
So players are now thinking about skipping the All-Star Game for safety reasons. I also heard that Rafer Alston refused to leave his hotel room out of fear; that he wouldn't even go out to eat, and just ordered room service. So what does this say about what the All-Star Game has become? |
