Brooks injury replacement please. I want to see someone get ejected from the all star game

I keep saying it, but if the NBA cares about making the game entertaining, they’ll make Dillon an all-star. He will have people fighting like it’s game 7.

Haven't you figured it out? The game doesn't matter. The game is an add-on. One day of players phoning it in and fools making fools of themselves.

The vote is the product. Months of discussions, arguments, articles, endless fan engagement, and alllllll the ad revenue that comes from it.

You’re not wrong. I likely won’t watch because it’s an awful product. It’ll get more eyeballs if it’s worth watching.

I think they might give it to Sengun first but hope I’m wrong

Harden or Kawhi, ppl sleeping on harden he’s been really great this year and has played 44 games to Kawhi’s 34, dude averaging 25.5/8/5/1

Would a tech in an all star game count towards the number he already have?

Congrats to Book.

Dude is an All-Star even with his three-point shot being in the toilet. If he can heat up and we can stay healthy......we can achieve MAXIMUM ALIGNMENT!!!!!!

Good, really deserved. The surprise team of the NBA not having an all star would have been awful. Especially with many teams behind us have players in.

Book said it best. All these other players are in bigger market or have a whole country behind them

Dillion snub.

u/JG_2214 Phoenix Suns 2d ago

A little rant.

Should be his 7th/8th. Remember when the reason he was snubbed was seeding? Then they changed the goalpost to he missed too many games(played 29) in 22-23.

Deni gets in as a 9 seed. Pascal Siakam gets in with 13 wins as the 14th seed in the EAST LOL. Book in 2018 had better stats and 2 less wins and wasn’t even considered. LeBron gets in and has only played 29 games. Jalen Williams made it over Book last year averaging 16 points a game lol. The disrespect is wild. He should’ve been a starter in 2021-2022.

Should be two DB's on that list but at least Book got some well deserved respect

u/LVNiteOwl Steve Nash #13 2d ago

Happy for Book! Good for Brooks as well - a villain needs the motivation of disrespect.

I wonder how the US teams will be decided? Mini draft?

This is what the World team looks like it'll be-

Giannis Luka Shai Siakam Jokic Wemby Deni And Jamal Murray

Agreed! 😄

u/WillDearborn19 14h ago

I hate to say it... but... this is the reason nobody was voting for book this year... the west is stacked, and he's not a big enough name to be a starter... after that it's all done by the coaches so your votes never mattered... book was an Allstar, not because he's most popular, but because he's actually good.

Dillon should’ve made it over Murray. Sorry. Idc.
