Wemby didn't get a starting nod? Isn't he considered to be the new face of the NBA?

Lamelo got injured again and hasn’t played enough games, so I get that.

But Maxey, Lavine, Vucevic, Hart, Barnes, and Trae got robbed.

Sabonis, Powell, Kyrie, Fox, and Booker got robbed out West

All star voting is very subjective and plenty of errors are made most years. But the suns, hawks, 6ers, raps, bulls and kings are all trash. It's hard to say players from those teams were robbed. Being competitive clearly makes a difference when it comes to the vote. And that's not to say those teams won't be stronger as the season goes on but right now none are making the playoffs (not accounting for the play in).

As for Hart, really? He is solid and I'm a fan, but an all star? And the knicks deserving 3 all star spots?
Powell, would have been great to see him ahead of harden
