No Lopez, no Curry. Unreal.

I have no major complaints. I would have liked to see Curry get the nod over Parker; but it it what it is, both guys are equally deserving.. It was highly improbably that two Warriors were going to get a spot anyway.

 

Mostly just happy for Paul George, it's the first of many allstar selections for him. Glad Peirce didn't make it this season.

Don't really see the problem. Certainly it's fair to make a case for Lopez/Curry, but it's not like Bosh and Chandler weren't deserving. Just like Kerr said last night, you could also make the argument that Chandler is the most impactful Center in the NBA right now when you combine his off the court impact as well as all he's done for the Knicks resurgence.

Finally! First all star in forever lol. Lee was well deserving of it, but Curry was even more deserving. Huge snub. Def should have been in over Parker or Aldridge. Glad to see Harden there though. Should be fun for him to play with Westbrook and Durant for a game again.

Bosh is not deserving. Chandler is deserving, but certainly not more deserving than Lopez, who deserved it more than any other center in the conference.

i think you guys are forgetting the real reason for the ASG. It's about the fans and who they want to see. IDGAF if the lakers only had 3 wins, Kobe is the popular NBA player in the world. He deserves to be in all star

Why? What makes Brook Lopez a better player than Chandler? Ok, he's more deserving than Bosh. Bosh has been far from great this year, and Lopez has been a pretty big part of what the Nets have been doing this year.

 

But Chandler is a better overall player than Lopez IMO. Not only on the actual court, but his locker room leadership is unparralled to Lopez.

You can't really use locker room leadership as an argument for making the allstar game.

Why? Team success is a major part of it, and the Knicks wouldn't even be remotely close to where they are in the standings without Chandler's leadership on and off the court.
