Phhhhsssttttt.

He IS a star.

going to be 2 aussies in it with Giddey and Dyson Daniels from the G league which is pretty cool.
Daniels dad when to Uni at North Carolina State University, so we should just sign him now under the father/son rule. :D

Since he's in both games (according to leak) maybe he'll get in the 3PT contest too

Just ordered his new shoes today in the buzz city colorway. Can't wait to get them on the court.

Melo didn't make it, neither did Miles. We're the only East team in the top 10 that doesn't have an all-star.

Ridiculous. Ball has to be the injury replacement, no question

Middleton making it is a joke.

Vanvleet and Garland over Melo also seems rather unfair

Apparently it's a ridiculous coincidence... been following the r/nba thread ever since i saw it and it's the mother of one of Malik Monk's friends in Arkansas, who just happens to have the exact same name as LaMelo's mom.

Imagine being any of Melo/Zo/Gelo coming across this on social media the last half hour though, must be terrifying. Especially given she had health issues from a stroke

Clearly the NBA doesn't want a very fun ASG. Melo was born for that sort of environment.

Ah well, if he's not an injury replacement at least I won't feel obligated to watch that crappy exhibition.

If I'm being honest it probably should've been Allen.
