Bosh, Pau, Horford all better than him this season.

[TaLvsCuaL]

The All Stars is a joke, Pau has been amazing this season. What a shame!!

Aldridge like

[Lebron23]

Bosh, Pau, Horford all better than him this season.


Best team in the East. His stats went down after Irving returned from his injuries.

But it's nice to see Tyronn Lue making him one of the focal points of the Cavs offense.

[kennethgriffin]

honestly...



andrew wiggins




i know he doesn't quite deserve it yet. but the nba needs to build up lebrons replacement



curry is kobes replacement. and curry will need a rival

Irving only been back a month, his stats didn't go down a whole bunch.

He may have been at 17/11.

3rd worst record in the NBA. Kobe needs to give his all stat spot to Damian Lillard.

kobe has twice as many votes as lebron


the people wanna see kobe...


and thats who the people are gonna see


nobody cares about lillard.


if however it meant getting wiggins in. i'd then be willing to see kobe step aside

[Prime_Shaq]

Zaza Pachulia

[WayOfWade]

Easily Lillard and Pau, those are the two clear-cut snubs from the rosters. Furthermore, Kobe and LaMar us should not be on the rosters, their play isn't all-star worthy. Kobe's case is the reason I am completely against fan voting, people are stupid

[Black and White]

Pau for me. Lillard just has it tough as the West guard positions are very strong.

[BigTicket]

Lillard got snubbed hard, he should have had Kobe's spot.

Also, Pau should have been an allstar, but for some reason the coaches choose to overload the allstar roster with guards

[pastis]

Dirk and Pau Gasol

[Yoshi]

Pau for me. Lillard just has it tough as the West guard positions are very strong.
Should have gotten in as a wild card over Aldridge. Aldridge is on a good team, but he is playing poorly. Lillard has the Blazers in the playoffs currently despite losing Aldridge and 3 other starters, and with much better stats.

[JohnFreeman]

I feel like Rondo has been great, but I dunno who I would replace

Like you give 2 shits about the cavs:lol :lol

If bran leaves again you'll follow him like the loyal begging ladyboy you are, desperate for that old white guys cash

Ron Artest

[NBASTATMAN]

PAU GOT ROBBED.. TOP TEN IN REBOUNDS AND BLOCKS... I believe he is the second highest scorer on a team that is going to playoffs and has had many injuries... THE SPANIARD WILL NEVER TRULY GET THE CREDIT HE DESERVES

[NBASTATMAN]

Dirk and Pau Gasol


LIGHT SKIN PEOPLE ARE NOT IN STYLE ... :facepalm

[AnaheimLakers24]

Irving

[kshutts1]

I would have liked to have seen Lillard over Aldridge, and Bledsoe over Klay. Then because of the injury, Klay gets in anyway.

In the East, Pau over Bosh, and Kemba over Derozan.

[kshutts1]

But... the All Star team is literally my least favorite part about the NBA. I think they do a horrible job with the entire process. So I stopped caring about 5 years ago.

20 years ago it was a good game. nowadays it's a game for chucker stans.

I feel you man. FKen Pau should even deserved to be Starting in the East but they got LEBRON, MELO, Paul GEORGE as frontcourt :facepalm NO CENTER DA FU

And honestly, I'm OK with that. What annoys me is the lack of consistency in how the game is presented.

It should be either:

A game for the fans,

or

A celebration of the individual greatness in the league.

Currently, the league tries to do both, by having fans vote for starters, then the league choosing the backups.

I would propose that...

A) The league choose all 12 players for each team, leaving team record out of the equation(!!!), and let fans vote for the starters out of those players. In this instance, we may still talk about "All-star appearances" as a meaningful matter in GOAT discussions.

or

B) The fans choose all 12 players, and we stop acting as if "All-star appearances" have any merit in terms of GOAT discussions. Going this route, we could also focus on ways to make the game more entertaining and/or interactive, if possible.

[Fallen Angel]

I agree with B. All star is just an exhibition game to see the what ifs, crazy plays you will never see in a real game (like Shaq playing the pg position for one play back in the 2000's) or just see them having fun while playing. All Star game shouldn't be taking seriously. But still it does amount to the popularity of players which is why Kobe is in as a starter, so I think it should count for GOAT discussions just like it is now. To be popular in that league means you are clearly a better player than a lot of the rest considering the NBA has the best players in US and possibly the world.

Is just like the MVP, it is a popular vote kind of award where people, in this case the press, choose the best player out of their subjective opinion just like regular fan does.

[Optimus Prime]

Pau Gasol.

:kobe:

[Hey Yo]

My man Pau got snubbed HARD in the East :facepalm
:oldlol: :facepalm

like Kobe said, Lakers fans didn't appreciate Pau.

[Dr Hawk]

Pau Gasol, one of the msot underrated players of all time

[D. Toretto]

No Zaza Pachulia? :facepalm

[MJistheGOAT]

East: Pau Gasol.

West: Lillard, Dirk.

[bluechox2]

even the coaches go the name recognition road...aldridge didnt deserve a spot, yea the team is great but no one single player on that team was hands down, clear cut, better than the other except for kawhi..coaches just picked him cause the spurs dominated as a team with the 2nd best record over another guy who is individually having a stellar year like cj

allstars should be picked on individual basis, not what your team is doing

[hangintheair]

No love for Reggie Jackson

Absolutely agree

I understand fans vote by popularity, but coaches???

Lillard for Kobe
Dirk for Aldridge
Pau Gasol for Millsap

[imnew09]

No love for Reggie Jackson

Not really. Still lacks the skills and IQ to lead his team

[Prime_Shaq]

Devin Booker.

[Done_And_Done]

I feel like Rondo has been great, but I dunno who I would replace

I agree.
It would have been cool to see the double-double machine make it. Stiff competition though.
