It's very clear with spick n span and mother spit with some windex that I said that Kemba ain't making no all star team barring miraculous events. He stood a better chance had we been over .500 because I heard a few people throw his name in the pot on TV like Ric Bucher but the one thing that's against him is the fact that we got a losing record. Even when Kemba was building brick houses towards hell in high water he still wasn't a worse net negative than Biggie Al and Chance Stephenson.

Kemba has multiple things that matter media-wise going against him. He's on a small market team with a less than stellar record. Either thing taken individually is something that he could overcome, but together he has got fug all chances.....

Then again, Drake is a fan, so you never know....

Team record hurt Kemba's chances of All-Star consideration more than anything else, including November

Fats All Star Reserves (as of Jan 23)

East
Teague
Wade
Butler
Milsap
Horford
Irving
Bosh*

*This spot being the one that really should be up for grabs. Miami doesnt deserves two starters, but its really hard to find players have good seasons statistically on the playoff teams in the East. Others to consider: Love, Monroe, Drummond, Vucevic, Walker, Jennings, Knight, Gortat, Korver

West
Paul
Harden
Thompson
Aldridge
Cousins
Lillard
Westbrook

* This last spot is impossible. At least a dozen guys in the west deserves this spot and sadly Kobe is taking away one spot from them. Others to consider: Durant, Nowitzki, Duncan, Howard, Ellis, Conley

Brandon Knight deserve a All-Star slot over Kyrie Irving. Take LeBron James off that Cavaliers roster and they'd have one of the worst records in the league while Knight is the driving force behind a Bucks team that's surprisingly in the middle of the playoff hunt

I just don't think Wade and Irving are All-Stars, and I don't see Atlanta getting 3 guys in. We'll see though.

Not that I see it happening, but I'd send three guys from Atlanta before I'd send two guys from Cleveland.

Didn't realize Teague is averaging a TS% of almost 59%. He is killing it this season.

Is there any real argument for making Lowry a starter over Teague?
