Not sure about Wall. Kind of hope he doesn't make it.

Added motivation I assume?

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

"Deserve" has nothing to do with it.

This is the All-Star Game. :)

Really hope John doesn’t make a complaining comment about not making the ASG if he doesn’t. Won’t be shocked if he does, though.

Good for Brad, he should be proud. He is blessed with talent but so are a lot of other guys who never get near the NBA.

Wall has missed some games so doubt he makes it (although the Kevin Love drama may let Wall slip in). Wall is clearly one of the 12 best players int he East, but I can't believe coaches will reward his lack of effort this year. Maybe Wall needs the rest anyway.

Coaches don't seem to be the brightest. Joe Johnson made it over Kyle Lowry back in 2014. I wouldn't be surprised if Wall makes but he probably doesn't deserve to especially with all the games missed.

Probably Drummond.

Damn. Drummond has been great this season. Would’ve been his first time.

Let’s check in with Drummond to see what he thinks:

I think you can make a solid argument for Kemba Walker and Ben Simmons.

Wall making it over Drummond is a horrible injustice.

I didn’t realize Kyle Lowry was that good. 6 rebounders per game, .597 TS, plays elite defense.

That is a great player

How does Al Horford make the all star team, he's not putting up crazy numbers. Happy for Beal, also for Lillard, well deserved.
