Yeah, CRAZY.

And what about Bradley Beal? How he can be out for the East?

Hope he really takes this as motivation. Can't understand how he didn't get voted in.

‪Devin Booker is averaging more points and shooting better from 2, from 3 and from the line than Anthony freaking Davis and can’t even make the All-Star game. ‬

All I can say is watch out for post-ASW Booker. 4 seasons of being on an irrelevant team. 3 seasons of all-star level production and a January averaging 31/4/6 on 52/38/93 splits aka best time to make a case for AS. I think he's gonna come back with an even bigger chip on his shoulder

I was going to say because of Suns record, but then watch the ASG roster and Ingram is there so...league just hate the Suns.

At this point even if we had 10 more wins I still would not expect Book to get the nod

Dark times for the NBA. I've been a hardcore fan of this league for 27 years and I'm starting to lose interest for the first time ever.

I'm sort of OK with Ingram now that I've had a think about it since it's more than likely a front court vs back court thing.

Looking at the votes for starters, Booker was ahead of Mitchell, CP3 and Westbrook among player votes. The players KNOW what's up

Okobo would have gone in instead of Booker. There are always reasons why Booker is left out.

Definitely the biggest all star snub. As much as it sucks, things like this can help mold him in to a better player.

I’m not okay with Ingram being in ahead of Booker. That’s a joke.

Theres literally no logical reason. Cant say our record kept him out when Ingram/trae made it. Cant say hes stat padding when hes so efficient. Just bs bias towards players like Paul and Westbrook. Paul being in a joke

Pretty sure it's a front court vs backcourt thing. So it wasn't Ingram taking Booker's place. It was one of Westbrook, CP3 or Mitchell

I’m hoping Booker is super motivated the rest of the year and just straight averages like 35 points on great efficiency, plays great defense, etc. Wills the Suns into the playoffs.
