The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[antidope]

The Block Panther.... OK

 

[rbk93]

Y’all just naming anybody now

I don’t care how much the NBA wants to promote these new guys even if they’re a little deserving…

It’s a All Star game. Some of those players aren’t legit all stars.

[nelson999]

Qfe…. Stats =/= excitement

 

[toneboi76]

If you had never seen Russ play you would swear he’s a rookie and not a 15 year vet

 

[SneakerProSr.]

I wanted Jalen to make it but oh well

I was just thinking that… seems like the All-Stars back in the day were basically all-time greats…

Every year there’s may be one new allstar..but this year has alot of semi-randoms.

Agreed. Russ was robbed too.

 

[Kierris]

Fox is the only real snub....

Fox's clutch dominance has been well chronicled, but it bears repeating how great he's been in the biggest moments for the Kings. He's become almost indefensible with his ability to pull up in the midrange, where he's been lights out. Defenders having to honor that threat by pushing up on him makes them a sitting duck for penetration to the rim, where Fox is finishing at the highest rate of any guard in the league, per Cleaning The Glass

 

[pmatic]

Jrue going 10 YEARS between All-Star appearances is pretty insane.

 

[rbk93]

Sarcasm or not, can’t say Russ is a legit all star. Given the benching and the somewhat media turn on him.

FOX GOT ROBBED

 

[Kierris]

The west is stacked with guards... Bane and Fox are definitely having all star years. I feel like producing on good teams should count for more than dudes scoring 25+ on bad teams.

 

[pmatic]

Bron has no respect for Nesmith out there. To Nesmith's credit, he's making his shots tonight.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Rui defending wings going to be a task

 

[lawdog1]

Ant > PG

PG been good, but total reputation pick by the coaches.

PG doesn’t deserve it, TBH and not just because of missed games.

 

[finallyfamous]

Let's go Cavaliers.

[pmatic]

Haliburton is playing pick up ball out there.

 

[Kierris]

Harden hasn't played better than anyone voted ahead of him... Do people want him to get in off name recognition alone?

 

[spiderjericho]

Seems akin to a hyper competitive league with not enough spots to provide to more than three dozen good to elite players. None of the guys snubbed are plumbers.

 

[king j]

He ain’t deserving and should shut his ***** *** up

That argument can be made for any of the other guard reserves in the East.

As far as being a STAR, Harden is without question the biggest.
