Pau Gasol anxiously awaiting All-Star invite

| | Comments (1) |

All indications are that Pau Gasol will be named as a reserve to the Western Conference All-Star team later today.

But as of 12:30 this afternoon, he said he had been given no word on whether he was going to get the nod.

``They're not telling me anything,'' Gasol said before boarding the team's flight to Minneapolis. ``The year I made it, they told me a day or two prior to the announcement, but this year I haven't heard anything.

``I'm looking forward to knowing just so I can be really excited and happy about being a part of it, or you know, maybe a little disappointed and upset about it.

``If I win, I'll be extremely happy and excited about it. It's something that would give me pride and honor. It's nice to make it and be amongst the best. And if I don't, I'll be disappointed. But I'll try to keep it cool.''
