Riley believes Shaq should be an All-Star
MIAMI -- The voting is complete, the ballots have been counted and Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal's record-tying streak of 14 straight All-Star selections has ended.
Right?
Well, maybe not.
At least, Heat coach Pat Riley isn't quite ready to concede that.
"It's not done yet," Riley said Friday. "The final, final, final decision isn't done yet."
Stopping short of saying he'll personally urge the NBA to add O'Neal to the Eastern Conference roster for the Feb. 17 game in New Orleans, Riley did say he believes commissioner David Stern should have the option of adding someone to the roster when the situation is warranted.
In Riley's mind, this would be one of those situations.
Rest of the article
14.2 PPG and 7.8 RPG are not All-star numbers. Would he even be healthy enough to play? I hate how voting is a popularity contest since the fans have a big stake in it. Now Riley wants the commissioner to decide on a 13th spot.

From All-Star to being traded? Isn't Riley head coach and GM of the Heat?

I think that Shaq has earned that recognition. You never know maybe he would have a great 2nd half. Maybe he didn't wanted to play in Miami anymore. Let's see what happens. He is one of the most humble person I have ever seen. Maybe he deserves it maybe not.
