Honestly didn't think he'd get it, thought the curse of the Bobcat would prevent it. Major kudos to him and so glad he made it.

ASG Thoughts

I am dying to see the East play the all PG lineup for a few minutes. How fun would it be to see all 5 PGs on the floor at the same time. Just 2-3 minutes each half. It would be chaos. Conversely, run out a lineup of Giannis, Butler, George, Lebron and Millsap/Love for 2-3 minutes. Have fun with the East roster. It's bananas.

I hate seeing 4 players from the same team make the ASG. I've hated every instance this has happened in the history of the game. Even seeing 3 players from the same team sucks, 4 is just dumb. You want to be an all-star, don't be the 4th option on a stacked team. Giant BOO to the coaches for that garbage.

Conley should have made it over Klay. Gobert over Jordan.

I am completely fine with Embiid not making the team. He's missed too many games, too many minutes and his team has only been good for 3 weeks. Reward Millsap who does everything for a really good Hawks team. Embiid can go nuts in the rookie game.

East doesn't have a true center while the West has Gasol, Cousins, and Jordan.

Points: East 5, West 2
Wings: East 5, West 5
Bigs: East 2, West 5

Maybe the East can trade a point guard for a center.

Quite the accomplishment for Kemba to make the All-Star team among steep competition at the guard position. Congratulations to Kemba!

Showing the all-star game shoe Kemba will be wearing on hornets.com in their giveaway. Which brings me to my real question...

When will Kemba get his own signature shoe from Jordan brand? I want to buy the Kemba 1. I want a signature shoe for a Bobcat/Hornet to buy so I can show off what a tremendous Hornets homer I am.

And MJ, please make it a good looking, light shoe to match Kemba's explosiveness.
Who I woulda took:
2023: Miller | 2022: Duren | 2021: Bouknight, Jones | 2020: Ball | 2019: PJ | 2018: MPJ | 2017: Monk | 2016: Damian Jones | 2015: Winslow | 2014: Vonleh, Napier | 2013: McLemore | 2012: MKG | 2011: Knight, Kawhi

Congratulations to Steve Hetzel as well! The best player development job that has been done in Charlotte ever since the Bobcats returned.

That's just a game worn shoe, not the shoe he'll wear in the game.
