The way it's looking, only Brunson and KAT are likely to participate

Other than KAT, none of our guys crack the top 20 in 3pt percentage or 3pt makes per game, so we probably won't have anyone in the 3pt contest

We don't have any guys worth inviting to the dunk contest either

Skills contest maybe Josh Hart

Nah...they need the rest, don't vote.

Meanwhile, OG and Mikal can't even crack the top 10?!

and when you go to a Knicks/Magic game in Orlando, the Knicks have homecourt advantage

Ok guys, i think we are gonna have to reach out to other team fanbases and f9rm some alliances

I suggest the Lakers

We'll vote LeBron and AD if they vote Brunson and KAT

Any other suggestions?

Banxhero votes aren't just coming from Orlando.most of his votes are most likely outside of Orlando. Mikal and OG should be in the top 10 based on market size, but neither player is really popular

Mikal was in the top 10 when he played for the Nets. He should be getting more votes now as a Knick

Why would anyone vote for Banchero if he has barely even played this season, lol

This. We have such a huge fanbase and we can't vote Brunson in the top 2 for guards. Knicks fans can fill up other team's arenas but can't take a minute on their phones to vote each day.

Don't blame the average fan, the average fan has an IQ of a mutt - all the know is LeBron, Curry, Durant and only recently started to change their mind for Jokic and Giannis, after 5 mvps and 2 rings.

Brunson got zero media coverage. The stuff he's done in the last two years - that tops the entire Damn career. I mean LITERALLY. What has this fraud Dame done that is better? Brunson single handedly eliminated Cavs (we see how good they are now, the same team) in gentleman sweep, then got historically great series against two better teams. Eliminated one, lost in 7 against the other. He's already reached conference finals and unlike Dame he's won a game in it. Again, leading bum ass Dallas teams over historically great number 1 seed Phoenix team.

And yet if you ask 30% of the people that visit the games around the country, they will not know his name. He deserves way more credit than what he gets.

Or Dame doesn't deserve his. You pick one. Imma go with the latter. While I understand the votes for KD, Steph and LeBron because of their actual greatness and accolades, this guy Dame is the most overrated player in the history of the god damn game. And its by a mile. How is he getting all these votes while washed, its beyond be,

On the T-Wolves subreddit, I got 12 upvotes thus far on my suggestion of forming an alliance.

https://www.reddit.com/r/timberwolves/comments/1hs04n7/comment/m523m6b/

If we vote for Anthony Edwards, they'll vote for Jalen Brunson.

We should be embarrassed. Lamelo Ball from a terrible hornet team should not be the leading vote getter at guard

definitely not

so it's gonna take a unified effort with the Twolves fans

I posted the topic on the Knicks subreddit as well as the Twolves subreddit. It's getting upvoted on both

https://www.reddit.com/r/NYKnicks/comments/1hsbjo6/regarding_allstar_voting_a_temporary_alliance_has/

https://www.reddit.com/r/timberwolves/comments/1hsbotq/regarding_allstar_voting_a_temporary_alliance_has/

The Twolves realgm forum isn't that busy, so I wasn't sure about posting a topic there

might even consider expanding the alliance to include Spurs fans (Wemby) and Lakers fans (AD, LeBron, and Reaves)

we might need to bite the bullet and align ourselves with an Eastern Conference team fanbase that poses little to no threat to Brunson and KAT getting their votes
