Kevin Durant announced as 2026 All-Star reserve. Sengun doesn't make the cut.

Most likely Giannis will not play all star and he will be replacement for team World

 

Are the Rockets better without Kevin Durant?

 

KC don't you have anything better 2 do

 

lol imagine thinking LeBron deserves to be an All Star over Sengun.

 

If Sengun wants to be an All-Star, it all comes down to the hard work of developing a normal 15-foot jumper that most All-Stars already have. If he adds that LaMarcus Aldridge/Karl Malone style jumper, he's a franchise cornerstone. If he doesn't, his career will be on the slide. This contract will be the most money he has ever earned, and the career transition he will have to make is learning how to be an off-the-bench player... Sort of a rich man's Bobby Portis.

However, if shooting a jumper becomes one of his primary threats rather than a goofy counter in his bag, Sengun's spin moves and dribbling in the paint will be unguardable. It will all come together for him.

While adding consistent 3-point range is aspirational and noble, I would rather Sengun focus on winning basketball. I tend to believe he's got the talent to add at least a 15-footer.

 

Chet deserved to make it. Bron didn’t. Sengun has better numbers across the board and plays for a better team.

 

Well deserved.

• Does not flop
• Does not try to fish for fouls on every shot
• Plays both ways
• Plays like a man

 

Could Rockets' Alperen Sengun be Named an All-Star Following Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's Injury?
He deserves to get in, even as an injury replacement.

Spoiler

 

He is just been named allstar replacing the injured Shai. Well deserved!

 

USA vs. World round robin format (with two USA teams) just doesn’t work for me. Also, Karl A. Towns was born in New Jersey and is on the World Team. Wtf?

 

Time to update the title @tehG l i d e!
