Nash tiring of All-Star side events (http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/0122sunsnb0122.html)
"It's already difficult enough on my wife and kids that we're always on the road as it is. So then for our one break to be even more busy than we are during the regular season is difficult. Obviously, on the other hand, it's a huge honor. The game is outstanding and being around the best players and coaches is still an experience I'll never forget."
I would tend to agree. The Pistons were never the same after 4 of them played in last year's All-Star game. For a veteran, why compromise your chance at a title when you know the guys who got snubbed are not only ticked off about that, but they are also gaining 3 or 4 days rest on you.
