Phoenix in February.  For two lucky 76ers, that is exactly what is in store.  In a surprising announcement, Ed Stefanski announced today that the NBA front-office has extended invitations to both Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert for All-Star Weekend even though the season is only less than a quarter through.  When reached for comment, Tim Frank, spokesman for the NBA, said “We have seen enough thus far to make this decision.  Anyway, who cares? Nobody is paying attention to the NBA until the summer of 2010 anyway.  We’re just trying to shake it up. ” Andre Iguodala has been asked to compete in the 3-point shooting contest, while Samuel Dalembert will take part in the skills competition.
