    Chris and I will be revealing our 12 picks in each conference when we record our podcast. I’m curious as to what others are thinking on the subject. Post them here if you please.

    Didn't review your list. If I were picking--

    East starters: Kyrie, Beal, Durant, Giannis, Embiid

    East reserves: Simmons, Harden, Lavine, Brown, Randle, Vucevic, Adebayo

    West starters: Curry, Luka, Kawhi, Lebron, Jokic

    West reserves: Dame, Mitchell, Booker, Ingram, Zion, AD, Gobert


    Probably missed someone obvious, but whatevs.

    Looks like our differences were me picking Booker/Ingram over Conley/George in the West and Kyrie/Randle over Young/Middleton in the East.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wow, you don't think Dame deserves to be an All-Star?

    To me, that's even more controversial.

    So we mostly agree. But I don’t think a sub .500 team (Pelicans) should get 2 All Stars.

    I think All Star status should be based on player quality, not team quality.

    But how great is Ingram if he plays with another All Star and can't play .500 ball?

    Probably not "great," but if the rest of the roster is bad enough, he could still be an All Star caliber player. Even two All Stars (who aren't superstars) could be sunk by a terrible 10 players around them.
