There have been some whispers around the NBA that the league may run with a 13-a-team All-Star game this year if Wizards guard Michael Jordan and Spurs center David Robinson are not selected by fans or coaches, with both players having already announced their intentions to retire after this season.

Jordan, however, wants no part of a charity trip to Atlanta this February.

"I would not want [the league] to do that," Jordan said. "If I can't make it on merit as one of the 12 players on the team, I don't want them to create a 13th spot. I would not feel comfortable with that."

"If I am not elected, I will have no remorse," said Jordan, a 13-time all-star. "That's seven days of relaxation. If I am, it's always a pleasure to represent the fans, coaches, whoever puts you on the team. It will be a good way to end my career playing in an all-star game. If I don't, it will not spoil my lunch."
