Booker will get the nod as AD's injury replacement. All good.

I love the fact that both Booker and Young were snubbed. They are both irritating for different reasons. Booker has a cocky attitude, often gets into trash talks and fights when he hasn't done absolutely nothing all these years to back it up. Young has pissed off the entire universe with the calls he's getting.
I enjoyed it, i don't care. Serves them right.
And yes, i do recognise that they are both insane offensive talents.

Kind of where I'm at with it, Trae just runs into people and goes to the free throw line, meanwhile Zach gets a gang initiation beat in every drive and refs saw nothing. Booker I don't see why people are mad, they were trash last year, CP3 comes in and they have the top 4 record in the league, that's no mistake. You put CP3 on any other middling team and they become an instant contender, the dude is still that good, that's why he got in over Booker. Also, Booker's beady dark, evil eyes didn't help 8-)

Without Chris Paul there Phoenix's record would be flipped. 10-20 at best

Anywhoo Booker is gonna get in instead of AD

Chris Paul is clearly the guy on the Suns. That said, the Suns are balling, and you could argue that they deserve a 2nd all star. I'd have rather him gotten in over Zion, but the media is all in on the Zion train.

Hahah over Mitchell :lol:

2nd best player on the best team in the league, really?! I can see Zion but that’s it.

He should have gotten it over Zion.

I assume Zion got in because of the voting format. There are an abundance of guards that are worthy, and fewer bigs. I don't see this as Zion over Booker, rather CP3, Mitchell, Dame over Booker, which is more valid. It is unfortunate though, because Booker is definitely all-star caliber. One of those cases of "If he were in the East he'd make it."

It's not an egregious omission by any means.
All Star selections are largely a popularity contest anyway. If you guys feel so strongly about it you should have been voting for him 3 times a day on Twitter or whatever nonsense the NBA does for the fan voting aspect of it.

DeRozan: 20 5 7 on 49/33/90 splits

Booker 25 4 5 on 50/38/ 84 splits.

How has DeRozan been better? Plus Booker's team has a better record.

Derozan: 1.6 turnovers per game, 1.8 fouls per game
Booker: 3.5 turnovers per game, 3.1 fouls per game

So DeRozan has been a better rebounder, much better passer with more assists and less than half the turnovers, a less-detrimental defender (wouldnt describe either as a good defender), and he's also his team's #1 option and has been one of the very best clutch performers in the league.
Booker's only argument is he's scored slightly more on similar efficiency, but DeRozan has been better at everything else while having to consistently take over games for his team in crunch time.

As a Suns fan, I love Booker but I also think most Suns fans completely overrate him. He is a great scorer and a decent playmaker but he's pretty turnover prone and doesn't play good defense. I don't agree with other Suns fans that think he's a superstar. He is an all-star caliber player but I'm of the opinion that in order to be considered a superstar, you gotta be able to carry a team to at least a .500 record. Booker is definitely not capable of that.

Anyway, I don't think Booker got snubbed. Maybe he deserves it over Zion but I don't think it's some travesty that Zion got the spot. Zion has been playing great this year and deserves it. And Paul has definitely played better than Booker over the entire course of the year, so he deserves it as well. Booker started out really slow and was turning the ball over a ton. He's been playing way better over the last 10 games but I don't think that quite makes up for how bad he was early on.

Here's a crazy idea

Shouldn't the All Star game be for the most entertaining guys in the league, not the guys with the best advanced stats?

Vooch is having a great season, but what possible bit of excitement could he bring to the All Star game?

Zion, Luka, Steph, Trae even Aaron Gordon

These are the kind of guys who should be first picked. Even Anthony Edwards has shown how much he loves to enterain. Pick him. LaMelo should be there.

Not your lumbering all defensive centres like Marc Gasol

We can stop saying Dev should have got in over Zion. Zion was a front court vote that Dev was not eligible for.

Dev did start slow this season acclimating to actually having NBA caliber running mates. A case could be made he should be in over Mitchell but the Jazz have just won too much.

And all you homos stop talking about his appearance. It’s good enough for him to be bangin Kendall Jenner. And you?

That team sucked before Chris got there, and would suck if Chris wasn't there this season.

I don't agree. We were a different team in the bubble and had we carried over the same roster, I think we'd still be good. We're obviously better with CP3 but we had chemistry issues early on as they adjusted to each other. I think we're better than our record indicates, probably should be 22-8 or 23-7. But we almost made the playoffs last year and that was with ayton, baynes and kaminsky all missing damn near half the season, leaving us super thin in the frontcourt. If we carried over the chemistry into this season, we probably would have made the playoffs, just as a lower seed.
