Now if he makes an All-NBA Team, just think how much money Stone saved by not doing a fairly routine Max with upgrade to 30%.
Alpi should acknowledge that this is recognition for the team (and Ime). As others said, he wouldn't get chosen with these stats (in the West) if the team overall hadn't performed so well. Amen, Jalen, Tari, Fred, Dillon, Bari, Jae'Sean, Steven, Cam, Jock, Jeff, Reed all played a part in this. It will be interesting to see the reactions from his teammates and coach tonight (as well as from some of those fans and influencers who rarely ever acknowledged his performances, but instead always looked for the negatives only). He BETTER follow this up with a good game tonight lol.
He was always gonna get in this year once you remember he got hoed last year with better numbers and the team is actually winning now. I’m happy for him.
