No Kings in All Star game

[iowamcnabb]

Really? No Sabonis?

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’m happy for Fox and Sabonis, they need time to spend with the little ones but it’s crazy we have no representation. Injury replacement could still be a thing

 

[LT-Sac-Town]

What a joke. Completely contradicting themselves when they say two T-Wolves got in because of "winning", but both AD and Lebron make it.

 

[Sam0ah]

Good, this can only help fire them up.

 

[LoungeLizard]

All Star game is a farce. Total clown show.

All Star game is a farce. Total clown show.

It hasn't been good since the 80's and early 90's.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Huh. Well, Fox wasn't selected last year, either, and only got in as an injury replacement. I never even considered the possibility that Sabonis wouldn't get in.

 

[whitechocolate]

I'm upset. The Kings not getting the respect they've earned is a slight on my city. I take it personally. I can't help it.

 

[SLAB]

Fox is whatever.

Sabonis is straight up BS and I’m as salty as I’ve been all season long.

 

[Joshoua]

Ya let them test and be Wii family **** the friendship all star nonsense no idea why anyone watches to begin with. And if they get a call because of injury they should tell no spine silver to **** off

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

I don't watch the all star game and usually wouldn't care, but I'm sure it matters to the players and Sabonis deserves it more than AD and KAT for sure. Just no rhyme or reason this year I guess.

 

[Caccia]

Fox really needs the time off. Better for the Kings.

But Sabonis? The walking double-double machine? Twenty-nine straight double-doubles? That is an injustice.

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox is BS too. He absolutely deserved a nod for one of the last spots.

Domas absolutely should have been a lock

 

[macadocious]

I think Fox is probably 13/14 this year. His last month has been fair to bad. (Speaking of AS caliber players). Sabonis should have been in the first reserves. He’s 7th on MVP ladder. We all know his stats. He’s been arguably one of the best players in the NBA this past month.

Has a player made All NBA that wasn’t an All Star?

 

[Geoff]

For what it's worth the NBA subreddit is just as befuddled.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Ya let them test and be Wii family **** the friendship all star nonsense no idea why anyone watches to begin with.

Because some of us still like it, that's why. The next time the All-Star game doesn't entertain me will be the first time.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

You hate to see politics involved,....but it's always there to a greater extent these days

 

[iowamcnabb]

Why not expand it an additional 2 or 3 spot? The nba is bursting at the seams with talent and guys are still making the team in their mid to late 30s. This problem isn’t going away

all the players that made it were deserving. Someone, I don’t recall who, said that there should be 15 spots just like a real roster

Vince Carter said that on TNT on Tuesday.

 

[TaxMan]

People can try to rationalize this all they want, but no domas is totally absurd. One of them will likely be asked to be an injury replacement and I hope they decline.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What a joke. Completely contradicting themselves when they say two T-Wolves got in because of "winning", but both AD and Lebron make it.

This is the third time (out of ten) that the Kings have had a winning season, with no All-Star selections.

 

[iowamcnabb]

. One of them will likely be asked to be an injury replacement and I hope they decline.

I get it but if Sabonis is asked he should do it. He has a path to the Hall of fame and 4 all star appearances is a good start

 

[KF8]

don't players get $$ incentives for making the allstar team?

 

[Livinthedream]

Because some of us still like it, that's why. The next time the All-Star game doesn't entertain me will be the first time.

Yes people still like it, but it's poltics and popularity contest.

Haven't watched in over 5 years, but don't begrudge anyone who does. I can't get behind the "All Star" title when it's really a midseason circus, sideshow or And One game. I understand that the "Most Marketable Player" game doesn't have that same ring to it, but that's what it is.

 

[macadocious]

he has 3, this would be 4

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Fox didn't deserve it this year over who, Curry?

But Sobonis for sure deserved it.

Fox thinks he's curry these days with all these 3s. He made a few and realize that was easier than attacking the paint. Problem is that's not who he is or what we need

 

[macadocious]

Guys, Sabonis is doing just fine

 

[TaxMan]

Man…. I really hope coach brown blasts this in his next media session.

Yeh that’s why it’s important.
