See above and do the math. Seven reserves and only two guards in 2017. Dame could have been selected over Jordan or Gasol. #fact BNM
Ok then. Of the seven reserve selections last season, the West had five frontcourt players and only two guards. Within the rules, they could have had two more guards and two fewer frontcourt players - like the East did. My point stands. Dame could have been selected over DeAndre Jordan or Marc Gasol. BNM
Sure, could have. My stance is he wasn't snubbed. Easy way to fix this is to expand to 15 players. I get then the 16 player will bitch, but it's usually 2-3 players who deserve it that don't go
My stance is that he was subbed. That he was more deserving than DeAndre Jordan. Jordan was the third best player on his team and was only selected due to injury issues with both Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. Even Jordan was surprised by his selection (he'd already booked a trip to Hawaii during the all star break and had to cancel it at the last minute when he found out he'd made the team). Now that the actual game is no longer East vs. West, they should just do away with all conference related voting/selection. Just pick the 24 best players, choose teams and play. WAS has the same record as us, but got 2 all stars in the East. Yet, Westbrook is bitching about us getting 1 all star in the West. BNM
