[fourkicks44]

Simmons over Harris is wrong.

[Manny98]

Vucevic over Jarrett Allen,Bam and Myles Turner :facepalm

Other than that I have no complaints, congrats to all of the first timers :cheers:

[Xiao Yao You]

Conley should be there

[Reggie43]

Sabonis has his team at a higher seed while those below has allstar berths and multiple allstars?

He is basically at 22ppg 53fg% 12rbs 6asts plus the 4th seed yet here we are with him getting underrated/snubbed as always.

Randle has had good season but Sabonis deserved to be there over him.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Chris Paul already selected into all star, the Suns ain’t qualified for 2 all star players so Booker has to be snubbed.

[fourkicks44]

Davis aint playing.

They gotta give that spot to Booker right?

[HylianNightmare]

vuc wasting his prime

[Axe]

Lavine :applause:

[Xiao Yao You]

Conley

[Smoke117]

Conley should be there

lol Not really. What, you think he should be over Chris Paul or something? :oldlol:

Mitchell, Zion, George, Davis... One of the most impactful players in the league on the best team

[Reggie43]

Randle has had good season but Sabonis deserved to be there over him.

He has a case against most of those guys honestly, the only difference is that some of those guys shoot a lot more (around 20+fga) to get a few more points advantage while Domas only takes around 15fga for his 21-22ppg on 53%

[Smoke117]

Mitchell, Zion, George, Davis... One of the most impactful players in the league on the best team

Mitchell was obviously going to get the spot and Zion, George, and Davis are all forwards. They aren't just going to put in a bunch of guards. Besides, Conley would never get in over those guys anyway with his numbers compared to theirs.

[Smoke117]

Vucevic has no business being picked over Sabonis. He has to chuck up 20 shots to get his 24ppg and his team sucks ass.

[Xiao Yao You]

Obviously Mitchell was going to get the spot. Doesn't mean he should. Conley is better. I knew he wouldn't get in. He should have though

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Two celtics players is dumb for a damn .500 team. I guess that shows the east star talent is lacking. Sabonis should of got in over Vuc. Everything else is pretty good.

[fsvr54]

Sabonis was straight highway robbed

[fourkicks44]

TBH as good as he is Tatum was lucky to make it.

[Kblaze8855]

Yea Sabonis is an obvious pick. Harris not so much.

[k 96]

No Brandon Ingram?

[2much_knowledge]

My only problem is booker and trae. Booker will replace AD buy trae is playing better than my guy Ben simmons

[Lebron23]

No Brandon Ingram?

Terrible team record

[kabacho]

Zion Williamson???

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Mitchell was obviously going to get the spot and Zion, George, and Davis are all forwards. They aren't just going to put in a bunch of guards. Besides, Conley would never get in over those guys anyway with his numbers compared to theirs.

Reserves are

2 backcourt

3 frontcourt

2 wild card which is regardless of position

[LukeWalton]

Chris Paul already selected into all star, the Suns ain’t qualified for 2 all star players so Booker has to be snubbed.

AD will probably sit out, i guess Booker is the most likely replacement

[L.Kizzle]

No Brandon Ingram?
He made it last year. Zion is there from NO this time.

[Axe]

No Brandon Ingram?
@AirTupac

[Doranku]

Between Sabonis, Randle, and Vucevic, it just doesn't make sense to leave out Sabonis. He's the only one who has his team with a winning record, their numbers are all basically a wash.

[Real Men Wear Green]

No Brandon Ingram?

You can't have two players from a losing team that isn't the Celtics.

[tpols]

Where's Jamal Murray I heard he was a superstar?

[k0kakw0rld]

Simmons over Harris is wrong.
You are wrong.

Ben is the best defender in the NBA today + giving you 15/8/8

[Sakkreth]

Randle has had good season but Sabonis deserved to be there over him.

Doesn't matter over who. He's a better player than any east reserve except Harden.

An overrated franchise full of overrated players.

You don't watch pacers nor understand basketball.

Garbage selections

[Real Men Wear Green]

What would that say about the team that just lost to them in the playoffs?

[BigShotBob]

Not a fan of Zach Lavine being selected over Sabonis

[k0kakw0rld]

Not a fan of Zach Lavine being selected over Sabonis
The reality is the Pacers are in familiar territory right now. 4th seed, 5th seed it's something we know about them.
Zach LaVine is leading the Bulls to the 8th seed and hopefully the playoffs by the end of the year. Which is something they haven't seen since Butler & Wade. His selection is well deserved. Career-high across the board. He is averaging 28 ppg 5 rpg 5 apg on 51% FG 43% 3pt and 86% ft. 50/40/85

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

CP3 is easily an all star

if you think Booker is above him, you don't know shit about basketball

Suns are top 7 in O and D right now and a top 5 overall team. Guess what happens if CP3 isn't on the team?

Have you asked yourself the same question. What would happen to the Suns if Booker isn't on the team?

Chris Paul is the leader. Booker is the franchise player.

Shaq doesn't know shit about basketball as well, you right! LOOL FOH!

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Have you asked yourself the same question. What would happen to the Suns if Booker isn't on the team?

Chris Paul is the leader. Booker is the franchise player.

Theyre .500 when Book is out with a +3.5 scoring margin so far including a demolition of the Steph against Warriors and outclutching of Luka by CP3 in Dallas

We already know what happens if CP3 isnt on the team.

No playoffs. Booker isnt the franchise of shit. Franchise players can take their team to the playoffs at least in 1 out of 5 seasons. Post Nash the best Suns team was their 2014 team too before this season with CP3 LOL. Led by Dragic and peak Goran is also > Booker

Book is in the same category as dudes like KAT. Is not a good enough all around player to lead playoff teams unless a superior player is on it (Jimmy in Minny, now CP3 in Phoenix).

[tpols]

Chris Paul is the leader. Booker is the franchise player.

The Suns were always lotto with Booker... first year Chris Paul comes over and theyre a leading playoff seed. Devin Booker has horrible defensive metrics and average offensive efficiency. His splits are in the negative right now. Chris Paul has Magic Johnson esque efficiency with an absurd 122 ORTG, and he's one of the most plus defenders on the team. His splits are big time positive. You don't know shit about basketball. Just see flashy volume and think it means anything when he's giving up more on the other end than he's able to put up himself.

Being a leader doesn't make you an all-star. Rondo, is one example. LeBron is 41st in the offensive RTG list (I guess he's not an all star) :lol

Mr "I know basketball than everybody".

Sit your ass down, clown.

[RRR3]

CP3>Booker shouldn’t be controversial. Only on ISH

He thinks VanVleet is better than Chris Paul...that says it all as far as what he knows basketball wise.

I wish the bulls will become far much better next season. Coby white's potential is interesting too.
