Man, I like Lamelo, but we've gotta be real here. He's averaging 29 ppg with horrible shooting splits on a losing team, just chucking threes and taking more shots than ANYBODY else in the league. There are 4 or 5 more guards in the east that deserve All-Star over him right now.
I say they are playing better on better team but Melo has bad splits cause no one else is playing on a good level b.miller has been decent this year when he’s not injured Melo has the green light now and he’s taking advantage also making up for time he lost injuried plus Shaq said it it’s a popularity contest if Melo drops another high point game he’ll be a lock for the allstar game

The All Star system needs to be changed, All NBA Team ladder should be count as majority of the points, vote as additional pts, it's sad for players like Domas, Sengun, Brunson, Garland, who played amazing didn't get what they deserves just because they didn't have more instagram followers, that's ridiculous
@@ryanamburgy2791 I think they're talking about recognition as a starter. Brunson deserved to be a starter over Lillard last year but fan votes tipped it to Dame. He should be a starter this year too but fan votes might give it to Ball.
i think having a match between the allstars and allstars candidate will be lit, they will fight again for maybe 2 spots, 1 for frontcourt, 1 for backcourt, so even after 12 players had been choosen, all the unchoosen can make a team to play with the the choosen to fighting for 2 spots..
For real, that has to be embarrassing as someone who does this for a living. I cant believe they just let it slide without even a single "Say What?!" or sumthin
No one cares about the All Star game anymore. The players don't care, why would the fans? Do you see every all star game Joker plays in? He give absolutely zero effort. It's pathetic.
I think players care about making the game insted of actually playing it, its like a form of validation from the fans the league, the game itself is garbage but making the team is what matters for them
@@Metal_Fingers."In the all-star game". Nobody sane is critical of Joker in real games, but he like everyone else doesn't show up during the All-Star break.
Shaq seems mad and this entire segment seems to be taking a shot at KD and LeBron lol. Shaq, MJ and Kobe all got into all star games later in their career when someone younger and better was available. Let’s not act like it’s a problem now.
Harden not on here is a crime. Half these teams that these other stars are on have a worse record than the clips and harden has been leading them like a true pg
Just 3 decades ago, Michael Adams who was a 5'10 160 lbs point guard averaging 18 ppg on 39% shooting while being the worst defender in the league was making the all-star team. Today's league has like 30+ guards/pgs that are better than Michael Adams and 70% of them (most likely) are getting snubbed. The guard position is so stacked
It didn't fit what the segment was about. I voted for Jokic to start in the All-Star game, as did most other voters, but that doesn't mean he needs to get sucked off in EVERY segment.
No guard deserves to be a Allstar in the east more than Trae he is simply more important to his team than everybody. If Trae is not there the Hawks are doomed. If he is not a Allstar then it is the absolute biggest injustice ever, and yes I vote every single day for Trae JJ,Hunter and Dyson Daniels aswell. Hopefully at least Trae and JJ makes it and we need JJ to go put on a show in the dunk contest this year and win it.
Chuck and Kenny would certainly say Cade should be an All Star. Shaq is just still upset about that Steve Nash MVP argument. But this isn't MVP voting. Leading your team to a possible playoff series and putting up those numbers is All Star worthing.
Ernie, Kenny, Charles & Shaq are the TNT Inside the NBA crew. I hope CNN isn't thinking of changing this & that TNT finds a way to let Ernie join Charles, Shaq & Kenny on CNN. Their camaraderie, humor, sense of fun & basketball knowledge have made for a really interesting & compelling show.
Maybe the all star selection should be based on merit and objective stats. Not popularity. Used a 100pt/percentage based stat system and the numbers won't lie.
All Star if based on standings: EAST 1. Cleveland G-Mitchell G-Garland F-Mobley 2. Boston F-Tatum G-Brown 3. New York C-Towns G-Brunson 4. Orlando F-Wagner 5. Milwaukee F-Giannis G-Lillard 6. Indiana F-Siakam 7. Miami G-Herro 8. Detroit G-Cunningham 9. Atlanta G-Trae Young Note: Hornets only have 8 wins but Lamelo an All Star?
I don’t think wagner makes it unfortunately since he’s been out injured for a good amount of time. It sucks because he was really playing great when healthy.
The biggest lie fans tell themselves is thinking the players have EVER cared about the All-Star game. Yes, the players have always wanted to make it, but the players have always treated the actual game as an absolute joke. Don't believe me? Just go re-watch that Bulls documentary, all the players are joking around with each other the whole time during that 98 All-Star game. Even the coach of the other team, Magic, came into Jordan's locker room to joke around with him.
I don’t get why it’s always a point to make it known that it’s popularity contest. Ofc it is they want casual fans to tune in to the all star game where all the best players get to play together. No casual wants to see normal Powell in an all star game
The fact that Ball is going to be starting in the all atar game and Cade Cunningham isn't tells you everything you need to know why the MBA is in the shape it is
Being an All Star isn’t just about numbers it’s about personality and entertainment too. Players with no real personality aren’t going to make it because they aren’t interesting. I’d go Trae over Garland just off that alone and he’s THE GUY on that team.
Ngl Donovan Mitchell getting almost a million more votes then his teammate Darius garland is crazy cause stats wise there almost completely tied my vote is on Darius he’s underrated as hell (out of the 2 of them)
Bro ET ur right he’s a better playoff performer and better defender but offensively garland is so much better but this season garland nearly been as good as him not to mention shooting better and plays less minutes last season d Michael was definitely better but this season it’s a real debate
We’ve been complaining how boring the all star game is for past 5 plus years and last year was the last straw but i guess we’re having an all star game this year 🤦
