    If we were a bigger market he would have been selected.

    Yeah, it's total bullshit. If you look at this:


    Casey is right, there is no reason to give up spots for guys that are in the league making a difference right now for guys in the GLeague, that's fucking idiotic (no offense to idiots). Guys who are playing in the games you are airing on national television being snubbed so you can feature GLeague scrubs?!?

    It's a gimmick that most people won't watch anyway.

    That's cool and all but I was really looking forward to seeing how he stacked up against the guys we didn't get to see him go up against in SL. I mean these guys get to play big minutes because they don't have guys in front of them as good as the guys Shae is competing for minutes with and because their teams aren't worried about winning now for a guy like Dame... at least for the most part. Bones Hyland is the only guy in that pool that is playing with a superstar as established as Dame who has pushed his team as far as Dame has pushed his in the post season.

    I wouldn't because you still want to build your brand but... if I was him I'd rather be in the Rising Stars game because it gives you a chance to build your brand as an all around basketball player and not just some dunker.

    You would think he's exactly the kind of player they would want in this game.

    I hope so, I don't know if Shae has that type of personality though. I think he'll just be like, "It's alright because I'll make a lot of all star teams." but not be pissed. I hope I'm really wrong and the dude is enraged right now.

    Am I missing something here? Is it because he doesn’t play enough minutes?

    I don't think I've ever watched a rising stars game. I forgot it even existed.

    Shaedon will be known for more than dunking. Itll be fine.

    Not only the type as far as what his game brings but also because he's Canadian and they could get more engagement from that market. This is a total headscratcher to me as an overall fan of the game on top of being a gut punch as a fan of our team and Shae.

    I mean, he is super low key but I'd have to imagine he cares just a little... if he doesn't I bet you Dame will talk him into caring. I could see Shae saying it's no big deal and Dame saying something like, "Nah, it's a really big deal and you've got to show every one of those dudes who made that game that they aren't as good as you."

    During one of his first interviews he mentioned he wanted to make that game.
