You can also bet that Melo is finally an all-star starter this year because of AI and his followers voting for him. AI didn't need anyone for his other 11.
What a ridiculous comment this is. Melo gets criticized all the time, like right now in your post, you realize AI beat out Tmac by like less than 10,000 votes right? Melo being an allstar has nothing to do with AI, in fact, AI being on this team actually hampers Melo in that category because without AI he would be relied upon more to score and distribute and he would have bigger numbers. With AI here, he doesn't need to do that.
Second of all, AI is the primary ball handler so its easy to criticize him when we lose and he shoots below 40% and has as many assists as he has turnovers. I love AI when his shot is falling, but when its not his game is painful to watch. Its like he is determined to hit some shots before just dishing the ball to whoever is hot. And in this last game, that was Melo.
Another reason AI gets criticized is because everytime someone says something bad about him, 10 new nugget/AI fans that registered when AI was traded tell us how dumb we are for criticizing their idol and start slinging out ridiculous insults like AI being responsible for Melo's (the second highest vote getter in the west) allstar appearance.
