True....HOWEVER Russel Westbrook has proven that triple doubles are overrated and not an accurate indicator of a good player. Also he's white which means he can't play defense due to his lack of athleticism. Unless he wins an NBA championship he's mid at best...(NBA Community logic)
1st in rebounds, 1st in double doubles, 2nd in triple doubles, 7th in assists, 7th in field goal %, and ~20 points per game, on a 5th seed team and not an all star?! NBA is wild for snubbing him. I hope him and Fox (got robbed too) prove the so called impartial voters wrong and do a deep playoffs run.
Fox and Sabonis snub is crazy. Just shows how out of touch the coaches and announcers are with game that they coach and announce for. Sabonis almost averages a triple double and not even a reserve.
@@DMalltheway then you fail to understand that the All-star game is just that... You want an objective view of the best players in the league? Look at a stat sheet.
@@DMalltheway it's not even that. It's the most popular players in the first half of the season. Which often correlates with their performance. But not always.
The NBA is imploding. They are self-destroying the game that Magic, Bird, Jordan, Dr. J and many others saved in the 80's from delayed broadcasts so the world could watch "General Hospital" instead. :)
Remember we live in a world where Manu Ginobili only has 2 all star appearences, they take the guys with the popular teams, and if you are European, Southamerican or anything not American, they wont recognize those players unless its something like Luka or Jokic that is just undeniable.
I Dont get why lakers gets 2 all stars. They are number 9 in the west. While pelicans and kings are higher than the lakers but they did not get atleast 1 all star.
Both him and Fox said if that happens they would reject it. The NBA is going to find out now exactly who they are in the revenge tour starting tonight in Indiana.
He knows ant is better lol ant clears fox at 22 lol ant averaging 26 at 22 years old 1st the west. Compare that to fox. Lol it’s ok ant man is here accept it
@@collinskumah45 respectfully and this is MY OPINION I would put Fox over Booker. And kyrie is just my favorite all thing PG so I just want him there lol
Hes not better than Doncic Shai Curry Booker or ANT. And thats just the west. Not counting Murray, Kyrie or Ja. In the east you have Haliburton Lillard Brunson Mitchell. Hes a bit overrated
@dr.hiccup573 yoooooo this guys a fucking idiot lmaooooo sabonnis is like a top 7 center that stats pads to hell and get fucking exposed when in the playoffs bro is cool ig
De’Aron Fox is superstar. F a snub, him not making it should b a federal crime. And 12 roster spots isn’t enough anymore, there’s more teams then it used to b and more talent then ever, idk y they didn’t make it 15 yet
Doubt anyone noticed but Ernie said “fuck it up” by accident u can see shaq laugh. Charles take a few seconds and processes what happened then u can hear him stop mid sentence and say “oh sorry my bad” trying to take the blame for Ernie. That’s a good friend
@@jjack3186 Sabonis absolutely snubbed. He should be in for AD. Wolves should get at least 2 in all star game as #1 seed. Lakers don't deserve. KAT shooting nearly 50/40/90 splits as a 7 footer is insane. 44% from 3 while shooting high volume. KAT could be a 30 PPG scorer if he was #1 option on a fast paced team.
The Suns are TIED with the Kings in the West standings, and KD and Booker are both having better seasons than Sabonis and Fox. The Lakers are trash this season, idk how AD made it over Sabonis.
U guys talk about fox sabonis and trae getting snubbed.. Im wondering how LeBron made the all star ..on top of that ..he the captain 😂😂😂 Coming from his fan..
No Trae Young No De'Aaron Fox No Domantas Sabonis no Kristaps Porzingis and no Alphren Sengun wow so disappointed also I like the Kings they have been doing well and instead you don't pick Fox and Sabonis their stats are good and also Sabonis has been leading the Kings with assists also points and Fox has been leading the Kings with points so how can you not put them as all stars
Some people are tripping. I see many say AD or Towns or PG over Sabonis. Really? AD is a great player (when his body does not fall apart like it's made out of eggshells), but Sabonis is 1st in rebounds, 1st in double doubles, 2nd in triple doubles, 7th in assists, 7th in field goal %, and scores ~20 points per game. Oh yeah, people don't realize, but he shoots 45 % from 3s. Only one attempt per game (AD is basically the same and way worse percentage), but still worth mentioning for the sake of this comparison. Hypothetically speaking, if he averaged same % with more 3s attempts to qualify for the leaderboard, he would be 3rd in the entire league! I know I know his % would probably drop with more attempts, but I am going to use this argument anyway :) Domas is very unselfish and could average more points with more attempts. 13 vs AD's 17. Also, Kings have a better record than Lakers. And Kings did not become a problem in the West until he got to Sacramento. AD is obviously a way better defender (Lithuanian tries, but he is not as long or athletic), but offensively I would argue Sabonis exceeds AD. And Towns (while deserves to be an All star) is not as good as AD, so I definitely pick Sabas over him. I loved younger PG. He is still good, but not better than Domas. Sabonis not being an all star is just BS. NBA needs to do better. Expand the numbers of All Star players or something, since talent pool (when it comes to offense) is so vast nowadays.
Its the fans problem.,....your city is out of town..,fans favorite is very important in this tournament..... Peoles choice is the most important....its business ...thats why they choose stephen curry 😅😅😅😅
They need to increase the roster spots since they wanna change every thing else; adjusting basketball history with the 65 game minimums but leaving the league leader in rebounds from an all star roster. Crazy!!!
No if the have 65 games we would see our star players only for 45-50 games instead. None of them are playing the full season no matter how many games it is
The league needs to get rid of votes and just pick the best deserving players the Lakers took the Kings spots 2 all stars for the 10th seed is crazy that’s Fox and sabonis spots 😂😂😂
Omg just realized Embiid isn’t going to be able to start at the all star game and only one line sixer will be there even though finally two were picked again. 😢
@@johnwalker1761 rookie of the year with what his doing is actually saying a lot because it just exposed you as a casual , thinking there are no good rookies 😂 . Stop hating lol
KAT over sabonis is crazy, why ? Just cuz he dropped 60? Or they’re the 2nd seed ? Bruh every year they have 1-2 all star from each conference that don’t deserve it
This is one of the nba's system I don't like: They only consider the 1st half of the season on selecting nba all-star rosters but not considering the 2nd half of the season especially the playoffs which is more pressure. That's why I like suggesting to have an nba all-star selection after the nba finals. Examples are Jimmy Butler & Jamal Murray: they are both did not become part of nba all-star roster last year even though they outshined other players(who become part of that nba all-star 2022-2023 roster) last playoffs & made it to nba finals. The worst part here is most of the nba all-stars last year did not even made it to playoffs(like Doncic, Lillard, Derozan, Siakam, SGA, Markannen, etc.). If someone will say it's because they have a great stats last season, well I disagree(in advance) because we play basketball to win. Also, it is easier to have a great stats if you always have the ball but the question here is: Are they really efficient & are they winning when they always have the ball?
As much as I like my boi PG making another All-Star appearance and the LA Clippers getting some love I think it should’ve been Sabonis instead, big man’s a handful and half
@@MrRapmaster19 I think u meant include, but yeah I would have had sabonis and sengun in there, AD shoulda started and KAT and Bron shouldn’t be on the team
@@utkarshkaniyar6210 yeah I meant that it feels so tough to leave Sengun off the AS team, given how great he's been. I feel Fox and Sabonis missing was more egregious, but still wish Sengun got in.
Why Trae? One of the worst defenders in the league, shooting an inefficient 42% fg, and his team is 10th in the East. He's good, but it's not at all crazy he's not an all-star.
It's really crazy how no one considered alex caruso. He's one of the best 3 and d players of the league. I guess nba fans really don't like winning. Out of all the players I think he's the only one on the list who's got a ring. It ain't just about scoring
@@martynaskenstavicius1985 lol you have 0 argument lol Anthony Davis is better offensively and defensively lol there are literally more pgs better than sabonis on defense lol wrong or right lol like I said he isn’t offensively as good as ad dam sure as good defensively as ad lol
I mean it’s obvious Lebald is going to be a all star until the day he retires even if his team is the worst in the league… But AD is meh Sabonis is better
Here’s how it should have been. East: Brown, Spida, Maxey, Brunson, Randle, Bam, Trae, West: Ant, AD, Kawhi, D book, Chef, Fox, Sabonis (I also might switch wemby with book)
To be an all-star, shouldn't your resume play a factor? There are so many players who have made it to the playoffsand earned more achievements and aren't all stars this year. Fox and sabonis, took the warrior's 7 games last year.
technically it already is in terms of fan voting, but being an all-star is just for the season that’s being played in, not what happened previously, your current production.
You can have fan pull on social media. There's great players who don't have a platform. However, let's not ignore that the voting has changed and it favors those who have fan pull, rather than how good the player actually is or the accolades they achieved.
