I didn't know Tobias had a twin with the same name, and was also in considerations for all star.

You learn something new everyday.

Oh and why is AD picked? I'd love for Mountain Mike to get an opportunity as respect for team basketball and Jazz's position as number 1 in the west.

I hope D Book takes AD spot, yea I see the argument for Mike Conley but do we really want to see Him in an all-star game?? He’s boring, Book will light it up and it’s her marketing for a younger player...

Because Mike Conley (if that's who you mean) is at 16.4ppg 5.6apg and 3.8rpg while Davis is at 22.5 ppg 8.4rpg and 3.0 apg. No all star comes to mind that only averaged 16ppg unless they were amazing elsewhere, see Ben Wallace for example.

Also, role players are not all stars. It's the players that are on a different level who can and do take over games. Maybe their team's fans would like to see them, but the rest of the world want to see the best basketball players in the world.

Not even a single player from Indy. Meanwhile Boston got two.

[dubbmotta]

I’m surprised Nikola made it over Sabonis...Pacers 4th in the East Magic trash trash...

[Knickstape7]

because that "role player" is number 1 in the nba by a decent margin...winning is more important than players averaging great stats on teams already booking their summer vacations if you have great stats and the team is losing every game then switch up the plan that player shouldnt be too involved in the offense

uh... what?!?

Harden, Dame, Paul, etc... all better than Zion, Brown, and LaVine. *facepalm*

[LuffyFiasco]

the disrepect to Tobias Harris is real. He got snubbed twice.

[pagal]

what a joke - the JayBUMS from a .500 team made it but so many other deserving players didn't.

ANNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD LUKA just f'ed up the Cu*tics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dnt hate]

This was my reaction as well.

[jk31]

Domantas Sabonis not making it with 22-12-6 statline for the 4th seed in the east not making it is just a big disrepect.

[8David24]

Devin Booker and Sabonis should be all stars. This is crazy...

[luss54321]

Sabonis > Vucevic
Booker > Paul


Also, no way Brooklyn should have 3 all-stars. They have the 6th best record in the league. Not good enough to warrant 3 stars.

Vuc more ppg, better 3pt %, ft%, better PER.

i think the only thing Sabonis>Vuc is apg.
