At approximately 9am EST yesterday morning Trevor Ariza recieved his invitation to join in the Rookies vs. Sophs game out in Denver. He rushed up the stairs to pack his bags, but then it hit him harder than a Shaq shoulder in the lane: David Stern and his cronies running the All-Star love fest had sent him an unvitation.
Unless Ariza opted out of this game, which I can't imagine a teenager doing, how do the powers-that-be keep him out? He is a rookie that has started 12 games and appeared in all but one of the Knicks 53 contests. Meanwhile, Slovenian guard Beno Udrich "earns" a spot on the rookie squad and the guy has never started for the Spurs. Moreover, Ariza has already played 941 minutes this season, which is more than half the guys who were picked to play for the squad.
Ariza is currently waiting by the phone to recieve the unvitation to partipate in tonight's Slam Dunk contest.....
