Since when does All-Star selection determine who counts as a star?
since they started having all-stars?

So Mike Conley has NEVER been a star his whole career?

Come on man, you don't actually believe this stuff.

Kyrie's our all-star?

Based on what I see in the media, I thought he plays for the Knicks...

Mike

Not sure why this bothers anyone. Horford has been banged up and not himself until recently. For all his talent, Tatum hasn't been consistently as good as the guys who did make it. And clearly, Hayward isn't back to his old self. I don't think any Celts got snubbed.

OTOH, others did get snubbed. Doncic is clearly an all star. Laughable to omit him. Just as it was a joke to omit Jokic last year.

If the one star can't be guarded and they have plenty of talent around him, who cares?  Besides, Horford was an all star a year ago and that guy should be around, come playoff time as Brad eases him through the regular season limiting his minutes and giving him plenty of rest. (same thing he's doing with Kyrie)

All-star has been a joke for years now.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty?

All-star reserves were announced. No Celtics selected. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25895443/nikola-jokic-ben-simmons-highlight-first-all-star-selections

We are officially a 1 Star team with kyrie the only player making the team. Not surprising but still disappointing given our expectations heading into the season.

Bucks have two (Giannis and Middleton)

Raptors have two (kawhi and Lowry)

Sixers have two (Embiid and Simmons - and possibly butler as a 3rd if selected as a replacement for oladipo)

Boston has kyrie.

Oh well.  We can be in 3rd place in the East by the end of the week.

I would wager to say only Kawhi, Embiid, Simmons, and Giannis deserved it.

17.4, 5.8 RPG, and 4.2 APG are Allstar numbers?

14.1, 9.2 APG are Allstar numbers?

Sure, they could've been. But there are a lot of players that deserved it. Just happy Vuvecic won it finally.

Conley in the East, would've been Allstar 1x or 2x easily.

I have a feeling this "one-star" team is primed to have a heck of a second half as long as they stay healthy.

I'm seeing signs that Brown has figured it out, and Tatum has new confidence in the pecking order.

Yea, cough Chris cough Gatling cough :)
Jamaal Magloire is another one I always think of.  The guy was a stiff even at a time when a lot of centers were stiffs.  A stiff among stiffs.

Back to trolling for LarBrd33... the re-honey moon was nice while it lasted.

Can’t wait for the photoshop secret images of Nerlens Noel coming to Boston to come back....
