I do not care what that angry mouse with pubes on his head has on his shoulder.

There should be 15 Players per Conference. I say this every year.
It will happen one day, when the Powers-that-Be smarten up.

There's more teams playing now, then there was decades ago.

I don't know why Booker keeps getting snubbed. He should be there over half the selections in the west. lol Anyway I am happy for Brown finally making it.

Congrats to the next Jordan and Pippen for making their 2nd and 1st all-star teams respectively.

Booker gets in because of AD's injury.

Ranking the rest, I might go Sabonis, Bam, DeRozan, Trae.

Meh.

I dunno, when it comes to offense Vucevic is light years ahead of Adebayo. Vucevic however is an average defender. So it depedns on how you look at it.

Congratulations to both! Especially for my man Jaylen, his All-Star spot came a year late, but better late than never. It's gonna be the first of many.

Now go play like All-Stars every single game, and bring us that ever elusive banner 18.

Pacers have been MUCH, MUCH better with Sabonis sitting this year. Not just a bit better, it’s a massive difference.

Pacers have a -2.5 net rating when he plays, and a+12.5 net resting when he sits. Net rating isn’t the end all, but god damn. Coaches look at that kind of stuff when selecting, I think.

The Jays are ambitious young men who have worked very hard on their games, and represent the Boston Celtics with class. Congratulations to both of them!

it's embarrassing for the NBA that we have two all-stars considering these two guys aren't capable of getting us to even .500.

Too bad the coaches who voted Jaylen onto the team lack your general basketball acumen or specific knowledge of the Celtics.
Banned temporarily for, among other sins, being "Extremely Deviant".
