I gotta go with BJ if for nothing else, Reggie Miller didn't even make that allstar team. At least the snubs shouldn't be THAT bad this year.

Wow that's crazy Reggie Miller didn't make ASG. Especially after the ASG he took his team to ECF and had legendary 7 game battle with Knicks. Tbh he maybe used that snub as fuel so maybe it was good thing he didn't get selected.

BJ Armstrong will probably get a ton of notifications on his phone/social media accounts in the next few hours and will wonder what the hell is going on...

BJ Armstrong started that year hot but finished the season averaging 14ppg.

Either way, unless Wiggins has some massive drop off, it's BJ.

Wiggins is going to singlehandedly reinforce mid tier stars forcing their way to big markets. lmao.

I love BJ (no pun intended) but easily him, he had no business being in an Allstar game but the Bulls were so popular at that time and the departure of MJ + the Bulls doing reasonably well meant that Horace and BJ would get rewarded in this meaningless game

Stop it. Wiggins has been great this season.

Per 36 he is scoring almost 21 ppg on ridiculously small usage. Been one of the key reasons Warriors been great this season.

Great? We must have different definitions of great.

Grant absolutely deserved that and of course Pippen. Bj...I could maybe go review the list and see if maybe he had a case (I know he started hot that year), but Miller being off when he was good enough to start that year is just awful.

Stop bagging on wigey.

He's good, not great but good.

If Atlanta had 4 all stars that year they collapsed to the Cavs, GSW can have 3.

He's better then kyle korver.

Who were the 4 guys that made it from the Hawks one year? I feel like one of them is probably a better comparison.

Wiggs defence is better alone than BJA total as player.

3? This should be the only 2 guys for the Warriors this season.

Its just weird he's starting. At this point I'd prefer Draymond get a lifetime achievement nod.

We're talking about starters. None of them started, they made it on the bench.

I know he was not a starter, but the worst All-Star I've ever seen in all my 30+ years following the NBA was... Jamaal Magloire.

Wiggins has basically matched or exceeded the typical Klay Thompson season.

So if Wiggins is unworthy, then Klay is extremely overrated with his 5 all star appearances.
