De'Aaron ≠ All Star

Why is Paul George listed as a guard? I can understand Memphis getting 2 All Stars instead of us though because they have a better record. Fox deserves to be there but the way spots are meted out, some teams don't get any and for a team to get two they need to be a top contender or have a ton of name recognition. We're just not there yet and Domas played his way into DeAaron's spot.
Yeah, I kindof remember this from the two seasons I played fantasy basketball in the distant past. I think it's silly though. If he's always been a SF/PF, that's who he is -- he's just playing out of position now. Heck, in an All Star game he's more likely to play C than G but I suppose it doesn't really matter. I probably won't watch the game anyway.
I think he probably should’ve got in over SGA based on the criteria that has kept Fox out in 2020…but even then, the Thunder aren’t as bad as the Kings have been most years. Neither Portland or OKC are bad teams to this point.
he’ll probably be named an all star anyway over the next couple of weeks and being snubbed for real this time might see him going into another gear.

Now this has got to be the most legitimately frustrating part: kid is averaging the second highest PPG of his career, on a career-high field goal percentage, and right around his career average in assists, while averaging close to a career-low in turnovers. On top of that, for the first time in his professional career, his numbers are making an impact on winning, and they still say, "Nah."
This sucks so bad. He must have gotten word earlier, as he is listed as Out for tomorrow’s game “for personal reasons.”
Fox had more than earned it, but what really makes the difference is the decisions about who gets aired on national television. If a national audience had been able to see the Kings without having to buy LeaguePass, he would’ve been voted in easily.

I really don’t understand why the league cares about filling all star rosters with a certain number of each position. For one thing, all the players go into a pool and get “drafted” to their all star team anyway. Plus, who the heck cares at this point if you run a squad of guards out there. Most regular season games have at least some time where each team has at least 3 guards on the floor if not 4 and a big. And oh, I didn’t mention that all star game play is a travesty of no defense non-sense anyhow (haven’t watched for years and not sure I will this year even with Sabonis). Just put the 12 most deserving guys out there and let them put on their show
Not really? According to basketball-reference, LeBron has only played 7 percent of his career minutes at SG, and none since 2020-21. Durant has only played 9 percent of his career minutes at SG, none since 2015-16. Paul George has played 15 percent of his career minutes at SG, 33 percent so far this season. It doesn't seem like an apples to apples comparison to me.
Any chance Fox plays tomorrow? Not looking forward to all the slobbering folks will do on Hali tomorrow
