    The 4th best team isn't getting two all-stars unless you are maybe the Knicks or the Lakers. If we were top two, we'd get two. I'm fine with Durant going.

    Yeah, Lebron doesn't deserve and Chet didn't deserve it either. But other players are deserving such as Kawhi, Harden, Booker, and with his recent play I ain't mad Sengun didn't make it. On the contrary, let him get a mental reset and physical rest. We need him to get back to playing like the beginning of the season.

    Just Senguin?

    Kawhi, Harden, Senguin were all miles of Lebrick this season. The glazing and media propaganda by Klutch sports is out of control. They are paying youtube channels etc to promote this fake GOAT argument and posts on reddit about every little thing a player at 41 has done.

    He just needs to retire already

    People have doubts about the selection of Lebron and Chet.

    But it does not mean Sengun should be selected.

    Players like Kawhi, Harden, Booker are more deserved. I would even select Dillon Brooks over Sengun.

    I actually agree but I am personally irritated because Alpi didn’t make it… let the other players teams fans care about them

    Agreed with you there. Just wanted to highlight the absurdity

    100% agree….an all-star makes clutch free throws and Alpi can be counted on to miss them. He is an above average center, but certainly not an all-star.

    Alp didnt deserve it but this is good for him to rest since he played basketball all year long.

    I agree 10000%. You’re singing my song. Makes zero sense to vote by conference and position to then break them up by nationality. No sense at all.

    I’d be fine with shuttering the event honestly

    I think we'll see this thread again but for Amen when he isn't on any All-NBA defensive teams. HIs defense has fallen off a cliff.

    Lebron is a pity vote. Alpy deserves it over him


    Having said that, I also dont't know if Alpy should be there. He has been far too passive against bad teams this year.

    The NBA all-star game has become so unwatchable I would rather our guys not even participate. The game makes the NBA and the players look bad.

    1. Avdija is banged up, so is Booker, he might get in as the 1st off the Injury List.
    2. Giannis is out as well......
    3. They say it is either Embiid or Sengün.

    Chet has been more mobile, dynamic and also Alpe has an ankle injury, he does not even jump that much.

    It was about getting someone in whose team started out 24-1.....lol would be a travesty to have an almost historic starting team with 1 All Star.

    Chet is also the DPOY this year due to Wemby not playing much.

    6-20, 3-14, 7-20, 5-14, and that's just the past few games. 2 against players the same position where he should have been able to go toe-to-toe and 2 against teams without an all star center. If you factor in this past month's performance overall, he is underpeforming. How is that considered consistency?

    Left protects the rim and plays defense on the best team in the league - the right doesn’t protect the rim and isn’t a plus defender.
