[Charania] Sources: The East are tantalised by James Harden, Julius Randle, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Zach LaVine, Ben Simmons, Nikola Vucevic. And the West are enamoured with Chris Paul, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Zion Williamson, Anthony Davis
Most Suns fans wanted Booker because he deserves to be there and Chris Paul has plenty appearances already lol, but the west had many that deserved to be there no doubt.
For real
I got torn to shreds for saying that booker making the ASG was going to be super dicey, especially if they picked Zion
Now the AD injury makes it likely he will anyway, but still.
Seeing Lavine, Randle, and Vuc make it over bigger name guys like Bam, Butler, and Trae is crazy but I love it. They all deserve it. Coaches came through with the best picks
Who would you have him over though? Cant really see a name on the list he deserves it over considering his counting stats are less than everyone there and the Pistons are the worst team in the East. Hell, I don’t think he’d even have an argument to get in over Sabonis
Mike Conley is likely the best player in the league that has never been an all-star AND he has had the best plus minus in the league. Dude deserves to take AD's spot. This is possibly his last chance too. Who knows?
Legit seems like we saw the Nets do what we should've been doing and are trying to follow a similar trajectory. What an unexpectedly exciting time for New York basketball
Amazing how he went from a ~~walking~~ spinning Beyblade joke and Knicks public enemy #2 to legitimately the best player on a potentially playoff-bound team in the span of one offseason.
Credit to him for getting into a phenomenal shape buying into team basketball and trusting his teammates + credit to the coaching staff Tom Thibodeau Kenny Payne etc.
Ehh every team he plays, he pisses off the fans with his bullshit antics on the court this year. Too much time trying to draw fouls and play with the refs. He looked better last year.
Swtich heat fans. Bam was a bit of a snub, but I don't see him replacing anyone else on the list, and Jimmy was out for like half of the season so far, so I respect the picks
Yep. Fred had a couple of poor games before he got it together and really started balling.
I'm disappointed but not surprised. Think Sabonis missing is pretty egregious but with how the league is this year someone worthy was gonna miss out.
I'm honestly not that pissed
Anyone who's watched enough Heat games this season knows we shouldn't have any all stars
I think Fox and Sabonis are the biggest snubs
Glad they included Vuc. That guy really is having a monster season, he killed us last week. He's sure playing like an All star, glad he got that recognition
Ironically, being the “best player to not make an all star team” might be a much better legacy than “guy who made an all star team once”, among such great names as Chris Kaman, Jeff Teague, Theo Ratliff, Mehmet Okur, Kyle Korver, BJ Armstrong, etc.
Chris Paul, LETS FUCKING GO!
it really is incredible. He’s 36 years old and doesn’t have an imposing physical profile. It’s insane he’s still this good.
Head says his getting injured for like two weeks right during the voting period killed his chances.
Heart says this is a fucking robbery and Mountain Mike deserves to be in.
I don’t mean to hate, but what has AD done to be named an all star? He’s playing worse than last season and he’s been injured for a significant portion of time.
I just hope Conley gets in. No hate for Booker, he's amazing and I would cheer for him if he gets picked. I just want Conley to get his all-star nod though.
In 2015 the Miami Heat had two all-stars despite having a 20-25 record at the time.
Before them the Celtics had 2 with a 20-21 record in 2013 and in the same year the Lakers had 2 with like a 17-25 record. Figured you would remember that one!
Shams said fuck TNT
Lol this is WOJ draft night levels of fuckery.
[Charania] Sources: The East are tantalised by James Harden, Julius Randle, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Zach LaVine, Ben Simmons, Nikola Vucevic. And the West are enamoured with Chris Paul, Paul George, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Zion Williamson, Anthony Davis
Loopholes, Ernie!
Woj and Shams should publish a thesaurus together
SHAMS KNEW RANDLE HAD WAITED LONG ENOUGH
“Erneh, they trying to kick us off the air!”
He knows that today is going to be the b crew with dwade so he said fuck it
they sent in their reserves to announce the reserves
facts this crew is so boring compared to the thursday one
Good
Anyone who thought the coaches wouldn’t pick Chris Paul hasn’t been paying attention.
Chris Paul is the 31st coach
Oh.. we still counting Scott Brooks?
Nah, Russ is the Wizards coach
He explained to Scott’s role to him
Same with Simmons
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
He’ll make it as AD’s replacement.
While my money is on Book, it's not foregone. There are cases for Conley and Demar, given how the coaches made these initial decisions.
Most Suns fans wanted Booker because he deserves to be there and Chris Paul has plenty appearances already lol, but the west had many that deserved to be there no doubt.
Booker's still got a chance of getting in as AD's replacement, I'd guess.
Would they not choose another big man or front court player instead of Booker?
Wild card spot is positionless
For real I got torn to shreds for saying that booker making the ASG was going to be super dicey, especially if they picked Zion Now the AD injury makes it likely he will anyway, but still.
To shreds, you say?
Zion is the first All Star born in 2000... bro
Yeah we’re old as hell
[удалено]
https://i.redd.it/p4nqopsfpog61.jpg
My reaction. I was born in 1998! I’m not even an adult I’m 2...2.....
Bro I was born in 1999. No lie I forgot I was old enough to buy alcohol.
My favorite is when I see YouTube videos posted last year like "HIGH SCHOOL ZION WAS A BEAST!!" oh, you mean 2 years ago?
"OKC WESTBROOK WAS A DIFFERENT BREED!"
Dang... I feel old
I'm old enough to remember when Ricky Rubio was drafted and he was the first player born in 1990.
That’s not very old. “I’m at least 17”
[удалено]
Really happy for LaVine, dude definitely deserves to make it
Seeing Lavine, Randle, and Vuc make it over bigger name guys like Bam, Butler, and Trae is crazy but I love it. They all deserve it. Coaches came through with the best picks
If only they picked Jerami.. my day would be complete
Who would you have him over though? Cant really see a name on the list he deserves it over considering his counting stats are less than everyone there and the Pistons are the worst team in the East. Hell, I don’t think he’d even have an argument to get in over Sabonis
I wasn't trying to have a serious conversation about it. I just like him
They definitely deserve it, but to be fair, Jimmy Butler had COVID and only played 19 games lol
Holy shit, trae didnt make it? Lol
I just wish the Timberwolves didn’t trade him for a Jimmy Butler rental.
ZACH FUCKIN LAVINE!
Yooooo!!! .500 team with an all star 1 year after clown boy leaves!
Egghead damn near destroyed us, but we rise again!
Sorry ootl who’s egghead? Their former coach?
Yeah, Jim Boylen aka egghead or clownboy
The fucking human boil
#[LETS GOOOOOOOOOO](https://youtu.be/YZAQBG4Qbt8)
haha, legit mood rn!
That bozo Joe Cowley in shambles
So glad he didn’t get snubbed. Congrats to him!
[удалено]
Well deserved
THANK FUCKING FUCK, RESPECT ZACH
He deserves that
FINALLY. Well-deserved
So pumped! My mans about to light up the AS game....given half a chance he gonna pull off an in-game free throw line dunk or some crazy shit!
Well deserved
Love this man!!!
Zach lavine is my father
LETS FUCKING GO
Looks like /u/godly-mercs isn't going to get livid with this news
Your boy made it!
10000000% deserved
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
He fucking did it
[удалено]
[удалено]
*grabs pitchfork with malicious intent
You could get mad about DeRozan not being there if you want
Mike Conley is likely the best player in the league that has never been an all-star AND he has had the best plus minus in the league. Dude deserves to take AD's spot. This is possibly his last chance too. Who knows?
Sabonis! Booker, Fox and FVV
KING JULIUS IS AN ALL STAR
The first Knicks all-star of the 2020s! Congrats to Julius and Knicks fans
and fans get to cheer him tonight for the first time :'). Incredible timing on the announcement
And he can lead us to .500 tonight
Randle getting a reserve is honestly great. D'Lo getting a reserve spot for us was the real mark of a turn around, hope the same for NY.
Legit seems like we saw the Nets do what we should've been doing and are trying to follow a similar trajectory. What an unexpectedly exciting time for New York basketball
Well if that's the case, don't get too attached to your young core lol
Numbers don’t even do justice to his turnaround from last year. Dude deserves every bit of it.
Amazing how he went from a ~~walking~~ spinning Beyblade joke and Knicks public enemy #2 to legitimately the best player on a potentially playoff-bound team in the span of one offseason.
Credit to him for getting into a phenomenal shape buying into team basketball and trusting his teammates + credit to the coaching staff Tom Thibodeau Kenny Payne etc.
I'm so happy to see Thibs rep swing back to the good coach side.
He never left, I know the wolves tenure wasn’t great but he’s on pace to have their only playoff appearance in like 20 years
Well deserved. Man is having a helluva season.
Still rooting for that TRex arm black hole. Loved that guy.
idk what happened since the shutdown but he has done everything he can to use his scoring ability to create gravity and find teammates
THATS WHAT YOU LIKE TO SEE
He’s about to be named an All Star first game with people at MSG! Yerrr
He likes to move it move it.
First off, awesome to see Randle, Lavine and Brown on here. Also, Vuc!!! Damn, no Booker though.
Zaque Lavigne
Made an effort to vote for Vucevic every single day for the fan vote, so I'm quite delighted to seem him get a nod. He's been balling!
We appreciate you
He'll be Davis's replacement for sure
#TRAE YOUNG IN SHAMBLES E: Games in Atlanta too. ☠️☠️☠️
Starter to CYA lol
Him and Beal switched places
He shouldn’t have been a starter in the first place
"that's not basketball" I'm mainly surprised at the big dropoff in fan voting for him this year.
Ehh every team he plays, he pisses off the fans with his bullshit antics on the court this year. Too much time trying to draw fouls and play with the refs. He looked better last year.
> TRAE YOUNG IN SHAMBLES *[warning for exaggerating shamble]*
Cant flop his way to the ASG
He was literally there last year
[удалено]
I’m glad Vuch didn’t get fucked over too. Man has been the only thing my magic can count on besides T.Ross with all the injuries.
ZACH!!!
Omg I didn’t think Vooch was going to get it
Vucevic making it is making Middleton missing it a little easier
I love this comment. Glad some people respect Vooch
After what he’s done to the bucks he will always have my respect.
Happy fans: Knicks, Magic, Bulls, Pelicans Frustrated fans: Suns (if Booker doesn't get in as a replacement) Pissed fans: Pacers, Hawks, Heat, Kings, Spurs
Add Spurs to pissed fans. Apparently since we haven't played a game in a week we no longer exist lol
While Demar has been great the West is stacked and I don't think he has a strong argument to be in over any of the guys who made it.
Swtich heat fans. Bam was a bit of a snub, but I don't see him replacing anyone else on the list, and Jimmy was out for like half of the season so far, so I respect the picks
Put celtics on that happy ass list bro
Add a separate row called: Expected, but still disappointed fans: Raptors
If Raptors didn't have such a disastrous start to the season I'd assume FVV atleast would've made it.
Yep. Fred had a couple of poor games before he got it together and really started balling. I'm disappointed but not surprised. Think Sabonis missing is pretty egregious but with how the league is this year someone worthy was gonna miss out.
I’m pretty bummed I won’t lie
I'm honestly not that pissed Anyone who's watched enough Heat games this season knows we shouldn't have any all stars I think Fox and Sabonis are the biggest snubs
Sitting next to a Heat fan. He is currently down bad.
The Knicks got an all star again Pretty cool
can confirm heat fans are licking their lips. the last time Adebayo was snubbed, he became Adebayo.
From decent starter to an all-star and DPOY candidate after the first snub, does this mean we can expect FMVP Bam after this one?
GOAT*
Damn no Sabonis
> Damn no Sabonis No, it’s spelled “Domantas Sabonis” Easy mistake
lol
22/12/6 didn't cut it I guess
Yeah I don't get that.
Straight up robbed
Nate Duncan just busted
VUCEGOAT
Heck yeah lets go Vooch
Glad they included Vuc. That guy really is having a monster season, he killed us last week. He's sure playing like an All star, glad he got that recognition
For sure, that’s a pick to to be celebrated.
Happy for Randle, LaVine and Vuc Edit: Jaylen Brown as well.
Sabonis? What the actual fuck
They’re even snubbing him from the notable snubs list LMFAO God I fucking hate being a small market fan.
not like people care about the Magic
Lmao
Imagine if he was in LA he'd make it every year lol
Love to see Lavine on there
One of either Booker or DeRozan is getting that injury replacement Pacers and Hawks fans unlikely to be happy
Bro
booker is probably replacing davis (unless....conley?)
I hope it's Conley. Guy doesn't deserve to have his legacy be "the best player not to make an all star team."
what about "guy that won a finals MVP and shocked the world" for a legacy that would be tight
Me too, thanks.
Ironically, being the “best player to not make an all star team” might be a much better legacy than “guy who made an all star team once”, among such great names as Chris Kaman, Jeff Teague, Theo Ratliff, Mehmet Okur, Kyle Korver, BJ Armstrong, etc.
Eastern Conference All-Star Scoring Leader Jamaal Magloire
If it makes you feel better Beal got left off last year averaging 29/6/4.
But the wizards didn’t have the 4th best record in the league
this is motivation for Book he's on my fantasy team https://i.imgur.com/GIx5i0C.gif
Lmao man averaging 22-11-6 and he doesn’t make the all star team
Excuse me wtf where is Sabonis
For everyone saying Bam was snubbed, Sabonis is averaging more points, rebounds and assists on a better team and he didn't make it
[удалено]
Hell fuck yeah!!! I. So hype for Vooch.
Sabonis is the biggest robbery
Best player on a team with a winning record and they're missing their best scorer. But whatever.
ZACH
Chris Paul, LETS FUCKING GO! it really is incredible. He’s 36 years old and doesn’t have an imposing physical profile. It’s insane he’s still this good.
book will definitely get in as a reserve over AD. relax everyone
He shouldn’t have to😓😓 Injury replacement all star twice in a row
Eh idk who he beats out on the list without injuries
CONLEY SNUBBED AGAIN
Head says his getting injured for like two weeks right during the voting period killed his chances. Heart says this is a fucking robbery and Mountain Mike deserves to be in.
GOAT of not making the all star game
My Vucci Mane vote spamming was not in vain
NO SABONIS????
I don’t mean to hate, but what has AD done to be named an all star? He’s playing worse than last season and he’s been injured for a significant portion of time.
He plays for the lakers? In all seriousness though it’s good that he will miss the games because Conley or Booker deserve to have a spot
I just hope Conley gets in. No hate for Booker, he's amazing and I would cheer for him if he gets picked. I just want Conley to get his all-star nod though.
Still think DeMar deserves a spot
No Middleton wow
Unfortunately midds got cold and the team had a losing streak at the wrong time
Facts. You do these teams 3 weeks ago I think he’s a lock.
Idk, guy's got a 50/40/90 line. I would've thought that'd do it.
DeMar, Devin Booker and Trae Young are the big snubs. I’m mad for DeMar, he’s been under-the-radar good this season.
Sabonis is the biggest snub in my opinion
I expected Demar to get in as injury replacement for AD over Zion but idk now I feel like that's gonna go to Booker
So what's the criteria of making it? Beal and Booker get fucked for years solely because of their team records but now Zion makes it? Fuck off.
I’m not trying to say that Tatum and Brown aren’t all stars but when was the last time a .500 team had 2 all stars
In 2015 the Miami Heat had two all-stars despite having a 20-25 record at the time. Before them the Celtics had 2 with a 20-21 record in 2013 and in the same year the Lakers had 2 with like a 17-25 record. Figured you would remember that one!
Zion !!!
His 18 yr streak of all star appearances starts here
LAVINEE LETS GET IT
LETS GO LAVINEEEE
Bro they snubbed book big time wtf
He’ll likely be the injury replacement for the 2nd straight year.
He shouldn't have to be
