[Slysh]

Was always going to happen but the best performing front court player is coming off the bench in the All star game

Probably will start in place of Durant (I don't think he should risk playing in it tbh)

If anything, I think Giannis should have missed and JoJo started (based in the performances this season only)

Yeah i am a huge Giannis fan boy but i think he has been the worst performed of the 4 this year. Ultimately it doesn't really matter just a small knit pick.

There is new edge to Embiid and Philly this season that I hope translate to the playoffs. He is long overdue to play in the conference finals.

My own suspicion is previous playoff failures by Philly (which is hardly his fault really) is why voters (fans and the media) probably still don't give JoJo his 'due'

Looking forward to the friendly city of Salt Lake City welcoming the NBA brother and sisterhood to its abode.

The Conference selected teams are as follows:

East All-Star starters

Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) - Captain

Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)

Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets)

Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets)

Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers)

West All-Star starters

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) - Captain

Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)

Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets)

Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans)



Reserves will be announced on February 2 (USA).

Sounds about 'White'

 

[peternorth]

Kenny Shaq and Chuck were wrong. Leftoe was right, the host announces the players

 

[fidstar]

Lol Kyrie and Durant not loved by the media

 

[Slysh]

Embiid back to back 2nd team all NBA's when he was the 2nd best player in the league because you can't pick 2 centres

But can snub him from the All star team and pick 0 centres

 

[scaryness]

My ballot

East
Harden
Mitchell
Tatum
Durant
Embiid

Brown
Irving
Giannis
Randle
Haliburton
DeRozan
Adebayo

West
Doncic
SGA
LeBron
Sabonis
Jokic

Curry
Lillard
Morant
Zion
Markkanen
Edwards
Jackson Jr

Zion? Lol cmon

 

[Slysh]

5 minutes in to the Lowe post and I’ve already lost my kind. Ramona Shelburne who votes on this voted for Lauri over Sabonis just because the game is in Salt Lake City… she even acknowledged she shouldn’t vote like that but did it anyway.

Also had Garland as the 2nd guard in the East… I love Garland but he was not in the 3 or 4 best guards yet alone too 2

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Mazzifent achievement !

Stay salty Morey ya Muppet, none of the teams you have been ever made it to the finals.

Pull your head in Dopey Daryl

That will happen when he is arguably contending with the best team of all time in the west

 

[peternorth]

Harden is literally better than all but 2 on that list, that is hilariously bad.

 

[peternorth]

De'Aron Fox has cause to feel upset about his omission

Man, gutted for Fox. Been a great season so far for him and the Kings.

 

[Itsmyshow]

Agree. Certainly ahead of Paul George and JJJ

 

[Slysh]

JJJ makes it playing 7 minutes for the season? Wild

Played almost identical minutes as AD so how can you pick him over AD?

 

[Elmer_Judd]

DeRozan getting in is baffling to me.

I think Randle deserves to make it, despite being so unclutch, his put up a very solid and consistent numbers for the Knicks.

Speaking of the Knicks, Brunsen was robbed, definitely have him ahead DeRozan or Holiday in the East. Happy Halliburton got in though.

Rapt for Dom Sabonis to make it one, one of the good guys in the A.

 

[Slysh]

 

[peternorth]

Paul George over fox and or edwards.

 

[nahnah]

Garland should be very much in the convo with Harden and Brunson as being Durant's replacement. 22-3-8, 42% from 3, +6 net rating and also has played solid defense for the most part

and yeah Derozan probably shouldnt have made the team
