    C.J. McCollum, SG, Portland Trail Blazers - McCollum won the NBA's Most Improved Player award last season after absolutely blowing up for the Trail Blazers. He went from 6.8 points per game coming off the bench the year before to 20.8 in 2015-16. Now that McCollum has become a bonafide star and half of one of the best backcourts in the league, he's earned All-Star consideration from jump.

    Gotta love CJ getting consideration by multiple sources.

    Is CJ going to be considered over Dame?

    The all star guards out west will be WestBrook,CP3,Harden,Curry,Klay

    There just isn't room. I really wish the league would just pick the 12 most fun and exciting and deserving players, NOT front court/backcourt.....

    I know. Dame is a 2-time all star and had his best season ever, by far, and didn't make it.

    Is it just me or did Porzingas really fall off the 2nd half of the season? He didn't look good in one of the games we saw him... but I feel like I remember him not doing so hot as the season went on.

    And wait, Jordan has never been an all-star? wow.

    Minny might have more than just Towns worthy of a spot on the team...

    Not so sure about Klay. I don't know if he will get the looks or points. IF he makes it, i bet its on name recognition and not stats.

    It may be up to the voters. GSW might have 3 starters.

    You HAD to remind me of how we vote in our all stars didn't you???... man That is the worst part about the NBA to me. Im a big time fan and I will fully admit I have no right voting in All stars. I know some people feel it is something to help the interaction of the fan and be a part of something, but we can figure other things out for that.

    I know I'm beating a dead horse... but.. YOU brought it back up. lol.

    Well since I cant say F you.....man..

    NO way. Klay's numbers go down. Curry has more ankle issues after tweaking it in the forth game of the season. Green gets suspended for half the season and GSW struggles to maintain a playoff spot the bulk of the season.
    Don't forget. You heard it here first!

    There can be 6 guards. So add Dame to that list. Even so, Dame is better than Klay and Harden. Dame was 2nd time all NBA last year for chrissakes. If Klay's numbers go down (likely), CJ will make it too.

    Stop complaining and vote! I said we should organize a voting campaign two years ago and everyone shot it down. It doesn't take many votes in the overall scheme of things to get in as a starter. If we worked together, we could do it.

    What a Debbie downer!
    Ya but when it comes to fans voting the All Star game is a popularity contest and right now Play is the more popular player.

    Agreed. In terms of starters, all 4 will get in.

    Fuck, Kobe got in last year and he was complete trash. Legacy or not.

    GSW will have 4 in the ASG.

    Can't remember or not, but do they consider Khawai Leonard a backcourt or front court player?
