I know who I'd pick last if I were a captain.

Derozan and Wiggins both starting might be the worst starters in all star lineups we've ever seen.

Embarrassing for both sides.

I am fine with it, I have no interest in watching it whoever starts so if the people that are actually interested in watching it want to see him thats fine

He's more deserved than BJ Armstrong and Steve Francis, plus we're in a covid and injury heavy season.

Suck it up.

Wiggins is absolutely not better than Steve Franchise (relative to their era)

Given the front-court options that weren't available (Kwahi, PG, Davis, probably a few others I'm missing) it isn't as bad as some other past choices (AC Green over Karl Malone for instance), but there were still several guys who should have been above Wiggins (Gobert most notably, Bridges, Towns, maybe Edwards, etc).

DeRozan is definitely deserving of starting. If anything, Trae is the undeserving starter on the East. He's putting up numbers (28/4/9), but his team is 12th while Harden is putting up similar numbers (23/8/10) for a top 4 team.

Wiggins starting just feels wrong. Gobert and Ayton (both on top 4 West teams too) are more deserving while KAT is on a decent team and putting up big numbers.

I don’t think he deserves it, but honestly nice to see somebody new in there. He has had a good season, easily his best and is doing on on a top team.

You think it’s nice to see someone awarded the honor who doesn’t deserve it? Reevaluate your post

I'd rather congratulate him on the honor. Than complain about anything related to the all star game

Andrew Wiggins is definitely no Kevin Durant. He doesn't give a rat's ass about what you peeps think of him. He's loaded with cash and now an allstar starter :lol:

Well he doesn't deserve to be an all star but kudos from being one of the worst contract in the NBA to an all star player in 2 years. Credits to him and GSW FO
