Front court looks solid but that's probably the worst backcourt for an All-star game I think I've ever seen.

The all star process looks to have gotten everythibg correct to me. Everyone who’s starting deserves to be.

I don’t think he could care less. Just look for the Heat to drag the Celtics and Hawks next go round lol.

Butler should have been given the spot over Young. No way does putting up empty stats while playing no defense and losing tons of games makes one deserving of a starting spot on the all-star team. I like Trae Young and his game, but Butler is way more deserving

Looks like a fun team to me. I might have assumed Jimmy Butler over Trae, but Trae's game is way flashier and more all-star game friendly.

As much as people hate Trae Young being a starter, his game is perfect for such events, i would even dare to say that he will be a front runner for MVP if the east wins.

Good. Trae’s team may be bad but he’s still having an amazing individual season. Best guard in the East this year

Trae young over Kyle Lowry is an embarrassment to the game of basketball

Back court should've been Kemba/Butler. Trae (who I do think should've made the reserves) over Butler as a starter is just weird to me. It just doesn't seem right. And yes I know Butler was considered a front court player, I dont care.

anyone else in the conference in the top 5 in PPG and APG?


yea, didn't think so.


In what sport would a player in the top 5 in those categories not be an all star. It doesn't get more elite than that.
