The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

Trilly

Very well deserved for Donovan

Gobert, the better player is snubbed at the ASG.

 

[waukeganwill]

Anyone else get this ESPN alert ?

That’s a very solid west line up I must say.

It doesn’t work like that. KD and LBJ pick from that pool of 8 from starters so each team will be a mix of East/West barring an anomaly.

Anyone else get this ESPN alert ?

Yup. Someone really isn't trying to go to Salt Lake City

Interesting that people always have these "who's the face of the NBA" debate when one guy always gets the most votes.

 

[rolaholic]

Gonna be the first to 20x too

 

[James_O]

Is this official?

 

[lovehateself]

West is missing Gobert.

rising stars world team wouldnt want him either

 

[James_O]

Gonna be the first 20x too

Once he gets 20 all star selections and beats the scoring record? It’s over

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Good topic

I would argue it’s a Mt Rushmore type deal where there are multiple faces. I would say LeBron, Giannis and Steph for sure. 4th is debatable.

The Public doesn’t like Embiid.

Damn.

 

[akajae]

embiid better start listing to k-pop

What is over We spent a majority of the day laying the groundwork to criticize Jokic if he wins his 3rd MVP in a row and doesn’t win a title. We are not about crown LeBron for individual achievements

 

[Coupé It]

embiid better start listing to k-pop

THATS THE MOVE!!

Or at least Swifties or something.

Embiid needs a campaign manager.

Then why don't anybody else win the voting? Especially in the west?

Damn.

He really don’t have any redeemable qualities and his game isn’t aesthetically pleasing

 

[lovehateself]

couldve gotten the french fan vote if he commited to playing for them in 2024

instead he's embracing the flip flop game off the court too

The Public doesn’t like Embiid.

Damn.

Unless you've got that crossover appeal of an AI or Dr J, kinda hard to get that level of recognition in Philly imo.

 

[xxpizzo]

Embiid game isnt aesthetically pleasing lolol

Giannis avg 13.3 FT a game

Quick hijack - is it just a California thing or do 90 percent of Tesla’s everywhere have corny custom license plates?

Might be a Cali thing. I don't think I've seen any up here and we're a pretty big market for EVs

You are right but I do not think it is unfair to say that when people think of the NBA they think of more than just one player. I personally do not believe it has to be reduced to a single individual but I respect if you and others do.

FTA’s isn’t why his game isn’t aesthetically pleasing,it’s his game in totality and how he gets those FTA’s.

Giannis is actually fun to watch.
