Perhaps because it's disrespectful? This is the kind of snub that puts a fire under Dame. Maybe it will be the same kind of match for Shae. Maybe Dame can help feed the fire.
It's like posting negative comments on a locker room bulletin board. For a highly competitive athlete, it absolutely should feel like a snub and be a motivator. How Shae responds will say a lot about his competitive drive and future success.
huh?? i nominate this post for most off base post of the year ( not much competition yet so you get a head start. ) these guys are uber competitive. Of course he is gonna feel snubbed and rightly so. where has your edge gone? Its like you live in daisies and roses land lately. Lol. This should fire just aBout everyone up!
Is the NBA brain trust forgetting about the Canadian market? The fans in Toronto must be pissed off. Don't wanna piss off Canada, they might send their plane or boat down here to destroy us or worse, the mounted soldiers.
I'm fairly confident that if Sharpe was getting minutes like that on a trash team (are we trash though?) he would be in this thing.
How is this possible....wasn't he supposed to win Rookie of the Year 2 weeks into the season? What happened?
I honestly predict that one of the players ends up dinged up and opts not to play, then Shae will already be there and they'll ask him to fill that spot. If not Shae should sit in the front row and just mean mug the whole time, or even stand up and just start yelling and making a scene. Yelling shit like, "I would have dunked that." or "You wouldn't have got past me." It would be epic. I don't think he has any of that in his personality but it would be funny and put a lot of people on notice.
Looking at the format, Sharpe should not have made it. They have 11 rookies and 10 sophmores from the NBA. I would not trade Sharpe for most of them, but his play is not better than any of them currently. Those 21 players will get drafted into 3 seven player teams and the seven G-League players make up the fourth. If Sharpe had played in the G League at all this year, he could make a case to play on that team. I usually skip All Star weekend but will probably watch this game.
