    congrats to KD…he has been carrying this offense saving us from scoring droughts and bad offensive possessions time and time again

    Sengun didn’t deserve to make it

    Either Alpi sulks or this motivates him.

    He's more deserving than Lebron that's for sure but I also don't think he's playing like an all star to be all up in arms over this.

    After 3 years of hard core tanking and unwatchable basketball, I'm in tears realizing the team has finally gotten its true 37yr old franchise player.

    All-Star is silly anyways - rather he get All-NBA at the end of the season

    He got shafted over LeBarbie for the rating of the show. I still have no idea how this year all star works so doesnt he not play for World team?

    It's still possible he gets in as an injury sub if Devin Booker isn't able to return from injury. But if he doesn't, hopefully he gets much needed rest for that ankle and uses it as motivation to play up to expectations. It feels like his performance has really stagnated and he's gotten worse on both ends of the court. Fred and Dillon aren't on the court anymore to push him so he'll have to learn to do it himself.

    He deserves the snub. He needs this to stop acting like he made it after last year's selection. True stars earn multiple selections with consistency. Hoping that this lights up a fire in him and starts putting in the work to be a much more consistent player. He might still make it if he's lucky that someone gets injured

    I hope the rockets see this as a sign and trade him. We have no franchise player.

    It’s fair. Hope Alpi uses it as motivation.

    Honestly he didn’t deserve it this year and the rest would be much more important to the team.
