Brunson is doing his thing Cel 26/3/7 on 49/39/82 efficiency. Donovan Mitchell in my opinion doesnt deserve starter nods although his numbers could be lower since he's playing on such a good team. Cade in my opinion should have been starter alongside Brunson, hes got better efficency than lamelo on a better team. Lamelo's efficiency isn't great and its because the team is bad an hes allowed to shot chuck.

[@BlessedOrri]

Cel your ball knowledge disappointed me in this vid. Brunson is averaging 26 and 7 on good efficiency (49 FG%, 39 3 FG%) while lamelo is shooting horribly. Someone gotta shoot on the bad team that's what lamelo is doing. Cade is an argument with Dmitch but definitely not brunson. Sabonis can only take KD and Brons' spots but even if I'd still give AD and Wemby that spot before Sabonis.

[@LivinProoof]

Thought winning matters? Guess not when the new face of the NBA wemby is the 12th seed though right? As Kings fans that's been the bullshit ass reason our players have gotten snubbed just like Sabonis LAST YEAR. He broke the record for consecutive double doubles but who cares right? Last season at the time of the all star break the Kings were a 5 seed. We didn't get a single all star. Comments like this drive home that ppl LIKE YOU have no ball knowledge. Some 2nd year player on a 12 seed team deserves the spot? Are you fucking insane?

[@LivinProoof]

All your comment does is prove the point, POPULARITY CONTEST.

[@jaedencannon8729]

cel i get where u coming from, but 1. steph and bron are locks right alongside jokic and shai. it’s in steph’s city plus resume wise and imo talent wise he’s the next best guard since luka is out. bron is the face of the league nd finna retire soon, think of it like how in 2016 they have gave the starting nod for 17,3,3

[@jaedencannon8729]

sabonis doesn’t put ppl in seats like jokic kd and bron, and if i’m honest with u, i wouldn’t even be surprised if he doesn’t make the game at all this year. ad is definitely gonna be considered before him, so is wemby. sengun, jalen williams, jaren are also up for the nod. and those are just the front counters, guards would dominate any wildcard consideration as far as the west. do i think that sabonis has been better than sengun jdub and triple j? yes. would i rather see him over any of them? most likely not, maybe over triple j but debatable

[@jaedencannon8729]

and ik u didn’t rlly touch on him but even dfox is gonna have a tough time. steph shai, luka, kyrie, dame, ja, jalen green, james harden, jamal murray, anfernee simons, ant, dbook. all of them in my opinion have more aesthetically pleasing games than dfox, with 8 of them being better than him too. so not only are the kings two best players not more fun to watch than most of the other all star caliber players, they aren’t even as good as some of them. and the most damning thing for them is that the kings have the smallest market of every california team, at times easily forgotten about, which makes it even harder for people to want to vote their players in

[@YpcVixy]

Ngl cel if Sabonis is who you are caping for the make the all star starters then you are cooked. Curry only made the list because Luka have been injured. KD shouldn’t of made it over wemby and Bron made it over AD because he have been hooping recently. Sabonis would’ve had to make it over Bron and Kd and that’s impossible if you look at what they are doing. Bron is averaging 24pts 8reb and 9ast on almost 50%fg and 40%3pt. KD 27pts, 6reb and 4ast on elite shooting percentages so it’s not close. It’s the fact that these guys are just way better individually and they are having better or almost better seasons

[@LivinProoof]

But I thought winning matters. Imma shut your wemby argument down instantly. People voting sengun over Sabonis even though Sabonis has better stats ACROSS THE BOARD. Wanna know the argument? Rockets are the 2 seed, kings are the 8 seed. So explain to me HOW IN ANY WORLD, wemby sitting at the 12 seed is an all star. Yeah argument over. Y'all are biased AF based on simple ass shit. "Wemby new face of the league" so he could be the 15 seed but still be an all star. But players like Sabonis, (who btw got snubbed last year when the Kings were a 5 seed) get disrespected. 5 seed last year, 0 all stars. The point of this video isn't even about that, it's about the NBA world needs to stop playing arguments when it's convenient for them only.

[@EGJP02]

bro be fr all star game is straight up entertainment and the people gon wanna see the OGs start nobody gonna want to see other guards starting over steph or fowards over bron and kd its a respect thing tbh they deserve it lmao stephs team is also the 4th best offensive team with him on the court and the worst without him, hes ranked 1st in overall gravity,1st in perimeter isolation defense,1st in off ball gravity,GS just asks for him to carry a huge load at 37 years old and its in the BAY

[@tiredbasketballfan]

Are you really trying to convince me Sabonis should be starting over Steph? You know he is a center right? And Steph was selected as a starting *guard* ? I get the frustration, but other than Sabonis suddenly being listed as a guard, you haven't made a case for anyone over Steph really. You are one of many who see 22.6 points and immediately start talking about popularity contests. I have yet to hear an actual compelling case for a Western conference *guard* that would deem them objectively more deserving than Curry. I do really get the frustration though. The leaguewide pretense that the Kings don't exist is crazy. I'll forgive you for the rant, usually you're more reasonable lol

[@LivinProoof]

Nah. 22 points while leading the NBA in rebounding, while averaging 7 assists, while shooting 48% from three while shooting 60% from the field. But nice try bum. Sabonis shouldn't be taking Steph's spot but he's 100% right steph shouldn't be a fucking starter this season you know why? BECAUSE HE DOESNT FUCKING DESERVE IT. They are an 11 seed while many players have better numbers full stop Your only argument to be had is that you're a Steph knob slobber period.

[@THEJRM.]

Ight cel …. Sabonis might make the all star team … but hell nah he ain’t making no starters. Since there is 4 teams this year he might be starting on one of those teams …. But I highly doubt it 😭 and imma be biased, Tyler herro is statistically having a better season than Steph or Donovan Mitchell, but I know he ain’t finna make the starters and might not make the team.

[@tiredbasketballfan]

By which stats is he having a better season than Steph? Even the dumb stathead comparison doesn't support this

[@THEJRM.]

@ he averages more ppg rpg has a better 3pt % and fg % and averages less turnovers per game this season. So he is having a better statistical season than Steph

[@tiredbasketballfan]

@ From what you are saying, he has higher per game averages than Steph in *some* of the traditional box score categories. If you want to determine which player is having a better statistical season, shouldn't you be comparing all the stats? Or at the very least all the basic ones? Either way, you're gonna need to double check that 3pt% And btw, you know Steph and Tyler are not competing for an all star spot right..?

[@THEJRM.]

Imagine if that was any other team. SOMEONE on that team is getting voted in. But not the Kings. Know why? Cause it's the Kings. Y'all say we're haters but in reality the whole NBA world hates on us. Sabonis not being an all star last season could have made sense if we were a fucking 12 seed... But we weren't we were a 5 seed. Make it make sense. Dude had 75 double doubles in a row, led the league in rebounds and behind Jokic had the most assists per game than any other big in the west. Soooooooooooo. WHY TF was he snubbed? Simple?
