James Harden made the All-Star team in 2022, smh.

[L.Kizzle]

How, he is not an All-Star this season.

[HunterSThompson]

no way he shoulda made it over ball. lamelos completely turned around a franchise. hardens just holding his back

How did Melo not make it? Crazy.

Harden is #2 in assist, scores more than ball and their team has more wins. I like Lamelo but your argument is weak.

[HunterSThompson]

How did Melo not make it? Crazy.

the nba wants guys like ball and Edward's to leave and collude in a bigger market duuuh. that's the only reason I can think of to not promote and reward the nbas new young stars balling in small markets and making their teams winners for the first time in forever


why not reward a trash player from an underachieving colluded mess from New York instead who's on the down slope of his failed pathetic career

One plays with KD and Kyrie and the other playes with ... exactly.

balls game has a positive effect on his teammates. Harden has a negative effect. if you actually watched games instead of box scores you would realize this. Harden is a phoney ass stat stuffing f*ggot and literally everyone knows it

Have you noticed how many games KD and Kyrie missed?

[L.Kizzle]

Have you noticed how many games KD and Kyrie missed?

Yes, all 3 have missed games. Brooklyn has been a disappointment, Charlotte has not.

[red1]

voting harden is robbing miles bridges and everyone knows it


bridges>>>>>> harden this year

[AlternativeAcc.]

We're acting like Lamelos 20/7/7 on 42% with negative defense is an allstar snub travesty? You nerds sound ridiculous. Harden is a proven, tenured superstar. Lamelo is an overrated toddler on a garbage team. He's shit.

You are talking NONSENSE; I watch Charlotte games and I credit much of their success to Miles Bridges. Lamelo is great in transition and seems to energize his teammates but Bridges is consistently putting them into position to win games.

[BurningHammer]

FVV made it, the first undrafted all-star in a while since Ben Wallace. :rockon::bowdown::applause:

- guy that's never watched a single hornets game



kenny Smith said it best. when lamelo has the ball other guys hustle and run every break cause they know they will get the ball. lamelo isn't a player. he's a culture. he changed the entire makeup of that team. he changed the way every player on that squad competes. lamelo to the hornets is like when kobe joined team USA. it's a winning mentality he brings to every guy that's on the court with him.

and people are actually tuning into hornets games again and buying tickets. you have to reward that. not punish it. it's like the nba wants him to leave in 3 years and join the Lakers or warriors. so dumb

[kawhileonard2]

How did Lebron make it? They aren't even in the playoffs right now despite a stacked team.

[ImKobe]

He's averaging 23/8/10 and the Nets are 26 - 18 with him on the court. He's washed compared to his past self but he's easily an All-Star lmao.

[L.Kizzle]

Haven't they lost like 8 games in a row?

[ImKobe]

Haven't they lost like 8 games in a row?

6 in a row, and Harden didn't play in two of those as he injured his right hand.

you know you're too invested in basketball when you call a player " a culture" roflmbao

[Real Men Wear Green]

There are a few guys that deserved to make it and didn't but I wouldn't say Harden doesn't belong. 22 points 8 boats and 10 assists. He's still a monster.

[HunterSThompson]

He's averaging 23/8/10 and the Nets are 26 - 18 with him on the court. He's washed compared to his past self but he's easily an All-Star lmao.

durant literally got him 20 of those 26 wins though. if anything he attributed more to their loss column

[HunterSThompson]

you know you're too invested in basketball when you call a player " a culture" roflmbao

brady = a culture

kobe = a culture

cp3 = a culture

lamelo = a culture


durant = a player

kyrie = a player

AD = a player

Harden = a cancer

lebron = a cancer



get it?

[iamgine]

Well your opinion differ from the voters.

[Jasper]

How, he is not an All-Star this season.

he is an all-star

[Jasper]

How did Melo not make it? Crazy.

quite frankly I agree, but the NBA is full of stars as well as Super stars.

Eventually the league will have to expand the roster or name only 'ONE" all-star from a team.

As Barkley stated years ago as well as I have stated - it used to represent a solid resume to put this on your career to get you into the
HOF ,, about 10 years ago the fan base fvcked it up . and we have what we got now.

[fsvr54]

Bridges and Rozier turned around the Hornets not some punk Ball family member with clown hair

[red1]

FVV made it, the first undrafted all-star in a while since Ben Wallace. :rockon::bowdown::applause:

steady freddy :pimp:

[Druckenmiller]

Is there any evidence Ball has ever thrown games and purposefully dogged it?

Lots of evidence HardOn did exactly that twice in Houston —
Once to get McHale fired and again to get fired.

Now he’s unhappy in Brooklyn so he tanks it en route to four points.

That dude is a walking trash can. Nothing has ever been more fitting than the Nets imploding.

And thank you

It's not impressive anymore and it really doesn't mean anything

The whole weekend is just feeding the egos of these clowns.

It should be scrapped

"The NBA" doesn't choose. It's chosen from fan votes which is where the silliness actually comes in. The ones voted in by the coaches and players are usually (not always) much more deserving

[ImKobe]

durant literally got him 20 of those 26 wins though. if anything he attributed more to their loss column

So you're telling me that KD makes them a better team? No way.

[L.Kizzle]

6 in a row, and Harden didn't play in two of those as he injured his right hand.
7 and counting now.
It'll be 8 next game.

[L.Kizzle]

6 in a row, and Harden didn't play in two of those as he injured his right hand.
It's now up to 8.
To be fair he hasn't played recently.

[ArbitraryWater]

Yes, all 3 have missed games. Brooklyn has been a disappointment, Charlotte has not.

thats not an argument

Harden got in the all stars as a reserve. Don’t the media/coaches select the reserves?

[John_Connor]

harden should go with his current "injury" and skip the allstar game and let lamelo get in

[L.Kizzle]

Harden was the last player selected tonight.

[John8204]

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

[KingMambaFan]

How did Lebron make it? They aren't even in the playoffs right now despite a stacked team.

The thread is about Harden and you still find a way to bring up Lebron lmao

BRONSEXUAL

[Stephonit]

Harden was the last player selected tonight.

I'm surprised there isn't an entire thread on that already considering the drama.
