    I also like Thomas getting the benefit of the doubt despite playing 1 game.

    Some of the results in the bottom are trully infuriating. However the fan voting can only influence the starters and even though I don't fully agree with them they are at least respectable options.
    We are lucky that the Lakers are the second worst team in the league otherwise wouldn't be surprised to see Ball get more votes than Harden.

    So if the trend holds true Giannis would be one team captain and KD would be the other... who would get the first pick?

    Shoot for it? Coin flip? Paper, scissors, rock?? The first pick between those two guys could change the entire direction of the team's rosters.

    Interested in seeing if the Process can hold off the Unicorn for a starting spot

    Here's my All-Star picks as of today...

    EAST STARTERS:
    Kyrie Irving (BOS)
    DeMar DeRozan (TOR)
    LeBron James (CLE)
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL)
    Joel Embiid (PHI)

    EAST RESERVES:
    G: Kyle Lowry (TOR)
    G: Bradley Beal (WAS)
    F: Al Horford (BOS)
    F: Kristaps Porzingis (NYK)
    C: Andre Drummond (DET)
    WC: Victor Oladipo (IND)
    WC: Kevin Love (CLE)

    WEST STARTERS:
    Stephen Curry (GSW)
    James Harden (HOU)
    Kevin Durant (GSW)
    Anthony Davis (NOP)
    DeMarcus Cousins (NOP)

    WEST RESERVES:
    G: Russell Westbrook (OKC)
    G: Damian Lillard (POR)
    F: Jimmy Butler (MIN)
    F: LaMarcus Aldridge (SAS)
    C: Nikola Jokic (DEN)
    WC: Klay Thompson (GSW)
    WC: Paul George (OKC)

    I know it may be controversial to leave off Draymond Green, but I really feel that both Lilliard and Jokic should make it - the Warriors can be happy with 3 All-Stars.

    They could play one on one to 7. Be better than the AS game I bet
