Not a power forward or center in either starting lineup, bring back the center position for allstar game please. I am glad seeing Lowry make it over Kyrie tho.

They both have done more then Kyrie. Reggie and Drummond should get in IMO. Butler will get in as well.

So happy PG made it. It's incredible he came back after one year playing at a high level.

It's weird, the number of people out in the ether who are legitimately upset that Zaza didn't make it over Leonard.

Charles Barkley: "Casual fans shouldn't vote for the all-star team."

TNT literally only airs games that the casual fan would watch, so you wouldn't really have a job.

Glad Kyrie didn't get the starting spot.

Although if Dray wasn't going to be a starter, I wish Zaza would've gotten it

Irving would have been the least deserving Allstar of all times.

He did it right.

At least Kyrie didn't win the votes for a starting position.

What a shame - Zaza makes becomes a nifty obscurity like Jamaal Magloire if there was still a Centre position.


And Drummond gets in too..which is still shocking that he didn't.

Kyrie was so close. He pretty much had a layup right at the rim, but he got shutdown by the greatest collective rejection since one Wile E. Coyote set off a strategically timed defensive cache of explosives during the pivotal moments of that 4th Q in Space Jam.

Just name the positions as like Guard Wing and Big. Not necessarily a centre but why is Kobe in the same classification as a guy like Howard and Cousins?
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Why are you surprised? Do you understand his significance to the league? He' an all time great and he deserves to start for his last season. Arguably the most popular player of his generation. Alot of the players playing now look up to him like how he looked up to MJ.

You're supposed to be voted in for excellent play not reputation.

West should have been Green instead of Kobe, but fans got their wish.

East teams flat out sucks and is full of old dudes being voted in for past seasons. LeBron and PG are the only two legit starting all stars on that team.
