Embiid not starting is a joke. And Sabonis should be in over Zion imo

Sabonis not making it is embarrassing.

These are starting to grow on me. The typography is plain, but I think the colors might actually pop. It depends on what the court looks like. It's basically blue and gold, plus the gradation.

Well...doesn't look like Jokic's streak of never playing with an all star will be coming to an end.

unpopular opinion. Donovan Mitchell is not Allstar starter worthy.

I am sure what will happen is what happened last season - with the East running their offense through Embiid to try to win the game.

Whatever.

With all due respect, this is **** a disgrace for embiid.

#3 media
#3 players
#4 fans

Only reason he’s not starting is the fan vote. Sixers fans let Embiid down. He had an early lead in fan vote on Tatum but once Tatum passed him he never caught back up.

I didn't even have Halliburton in my Top 12 hoenstly.

I think it should be:

Giannis/Embiid/Bam
Durant/Randle
Tatum/Brown
Mitchell/Harden
Kyrie/Halliburton/Holiday

I'd be okay with giving KD's injury spot to Kyrie though.

Sabonis got robbed

Since there is no longer an East-West game, why are players even voted in according to conference?

LordCovington33 · Post #56 » by **LordCovington33** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 8:19 am

A huge joke that a team coming 4th has two All-star starters - but selections have long had a history of weird choices. Kobe that year when he played less than 10 games all season, and Yao Ming that other time.

did you see the vote split?

Embiid was ranked either 3rd by the players and media and 4th by the fans
that's diff from a guy like Tatum (Mr. "quarter MVP") who is 4th by players\fans but was first (!) in the East in the media vote

there is no reasonable reason to cry foul
not that the ASG has any significance but are u saying everybody is ridicilous? because he isn't an ASG starter this season by a wide consensus

The players who voted Jokic 1st in the West and Giannis 1st in the East are in on the "conspiracy" as well?
they're the ones who face these guys night in and night out

lol he was #3 among players and media. It's not the league's fault that the fans didn't vote for him enough

I don't think Morant's classy enough, seems really erratic personality

so fans don't like him enough.
