Dwyane Wade ahead of Dipo and Beal is a crime. What is Derrick Rose doing in the 2 spot in the West ahead of James Harden?! Luka Doncic is ahead of Durant, George, and Davis?!?! Uh.While I don't necessarily agree with it, I feel like some times these hall of famers on their retirement tour get extra votes. Hence all-star game.It's about who the public wants to see play. It's not the "best of the best" game.

Lots of people (I imagine) want to see LeBron team up with Wade againI see what you’re saying; that’s one meaning of “all-star”. I don’t think it’s as clear-cut as you’re saying, tho. People have different ideas. Some us think quality of current play matters more, and people sometimes talk that way. When people say a guy is playing at an all-star level, I think they mean he’s one of the best players in the game - not that he used to be great and we’d like to see him again even though he’s a bench player now. Personally, I’d like to see the game recognize the best players. The old guys already had their turn.
Well, the starters are chosen by fans, players and media so there is still a decent chance Wade and Rose don't get voted in as starters. Doncic could have the same thing happen but with 3.3 million votes, maybe gets through.

Even if you knock out Lebron due to injuries, KD, AD, PG and Jokic would all deserve to start over Doncic.
Did they release the player and media votes?
