You may not think he's an all-star and that's reasonable but a backup? You're talking out of your ass.
I believe that was a jab at DD who is very well known for calling Lowry a career backup when he took AB's side during the great AB/Lowry Starting debate. While it is painfully obvious at this time, both sides had a great deal of supporters back then. I would describe Lowry as "steel" as he is sturdy, unyielding, versatile, and most importantly everywhere we look, much like on the court.
Not only did I vote, but my 73 year old mother was surprised to find that she had signed up to vote in the NBA Allstar Game as well. : )
