Jamal finally had a healthy offseason not trying to recover from any injury or playing into shape

VonMillersThighs | Nuggets

Ironically enough around game 7 or 8 he started limping and everyone was like aw fuck here we go again. he just bounced back from his ankle way faster than usual. His damn calf and ankle are pretty much always a worry, I like how he’s fallen back to his mid range game. I don’t want to see Jamal dunking shit.

His best dunk ever was called back against the jazz 4-5 years ago. Probably one of the best dunks I’ve ever seen and the refs ruined it.

My favorite is still the reverse one-handed dunk a couple seasons back, right after he came back from his ACL injury.

I can’t find it. It was a regular season game against the jazz and he jumped from the free throw line one handed dunk over 2 dudes. It got called back so it’s so hard to find.

Even if it is just 12 from the West, he would need injuries. But some of that is guys like LeBron, Curry, and Harden who will certainly be in without debate.

zoeybeattheraccoon | Nuggets

On the international side, he has an excellent case. He’s the 3rd best international guard in the league, behind SGA and Luka.

Problem is in the West, which is where the votes are counted first. You could probably make a case that he’s in the top 6 guards in terms of play this season, but the whole popular vote and legacies and what not mess things up.

KasherH | Nuggets

Eh- you care about calling someone a guard more than I do. It is an 8 person roster for an allstar game. I don’t think positions really matter at all, let alone the all star game.

Havent thought of it that way but yeah thats fair. Luka, SGA, Maxey, Cade and Brunson just see Murray out but I can see the argument for Murray over Brunson so far and if you dont count Luka as a PG that helps too. Harden has also been balling

Dry-Invite-5837

Compare his stats to Brunson. Everything better apart from 3 ppg.

flaming_burrito_ | Lakers

4 | 7 hours ago

There are the intangibles of being the definitive leader of a team, as well as Murray getting a few more touches in the absence of AG, that I think would win Brunson the argument. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say he’s playing equally as good right now, though Brunson just put up a pretty monster game against the Magic in the cup semifinals.

A lot of people were saying the Nuggets or Rockets are about on equal footing, but I feel this game shows the Nuggets are definitely a step ahead of the Rockets. I mean, if AG and Braun were there, I don’t think the Rockets would be close enough to take it to overtime.

Akipella | Warriors

Everyone knows they’re the biggest threat to OKC, we watched last year’s Semis and are watching this year.

I don’t watch the Rockets often but is Amen always this bad on defense. He is talked about like a DPOY candidate and he has looked terrible both times the Nuggets have played the Rockets this season and last.

ElBigTaco | DEN

9 | 10 hours ago

its a tough matchup, Nuggets run so much action and PnR even a dude as freaky as Amen struggles through the screens. we’re also alot less predictable with our new acquisitions guys can put the ball down and dribble

Ok_Possible_5702

This is who he is. People like his incredible athleticism and his very physical defense, but if the refs call the game by the rulebook he’d have fouled out by half time in every game.

I don’t think there are 8 international guys playing better than Jamal right now, so I’m confident he’ll make it

PotatoFarmar

4 | 10 hours ago

Jokic, Giannis, Wemby, Shai, Luka, Sengun for sure. I think him and Avdija get it after that.

Few-Leg-3185

1 | 10 hours ago

Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA. Then maybe Markkanen, Sengun and Murray.

There’s a few arguable ones in there too, like Avidja, Giddey, Siakam and Wemby if he’s staying healthy. If sure I’ve forgotten someone, but damn that’s a pretty deep pool

KasherH | Nuggets

1 | 6 hours ago

I don’t think there are 8 international guys playing better than Jamal right now

Are you joking? Lets get 5 out of the way right away. Jokic, SGA, Luka, Giannis, and Wemby.

Sengun is a lock.

Markkanen to me is in. He is absolutely carrying a terrible team.

Siakam, Avdija, and Wagner are to me all having better seasons for that last one spot.

greenwhitehell

1 | 39 minutes ago

Don’t think there’s much argument for Siakam over Murray at this point, unless you think he’s playing at a clear 1st team All-Defense level (he’s not). Murray has averaged more points than him on a staggering efficiency difference (56 TS% vs 63% TS), and has also been a much better playmaker. You can argue Murray being a 2nd option makes it easier, and Siakam does have decent on-offs, but Denver with the injuries has really been a 2-man job from their stars plus timely shooting a lot of the time, and Murray’s non-Jokic minutes in particular have been awesome this season which is another very strong signal.

Avdija and Wagner I can definitely see, though Wagner has been a worse offensive player too. Think they could find a way for Giddey in too because of the offensive load (including playmaking), though the Bulls collapse doesn’t help.

KasherH | Nuggets

1 | 35 minutes ago

I give more credit to someone being the first option on offense than you do. Avdija is having a clear better season to me, Wagner is but I just looked at our next game and I didn’t know he was currently hurt. When the Bulls were winning more I had Giddey ahead too, but Murray has passed him up.

I am hesitant to put two people from the same team on the all-star team with this format unless they are winning like OKC.

Then as I say that, the Lakers will probably get 3 and I do agree with all of them.

greenwhitehell

1 | 14 minutes ago

Yeah I’m totally fine with Avdija, he’s been great on offense and is an alright defender. I care about players being the #1 option as well, but I also think its much different if you are the #2 in a very stacked team, or the #2 in a team starving for depth and starting a 2-way player for more than 10 straight games like current Denver is after losing CB and AG.

And I don’t care too much for the 2+ players thing. Hypothetically you can have 2 Top-5 players producing like such and a bunch of mid, that team would absolutely not be a OKC type juggernaut but those 2 players should always be locks. This is an extreme, and Denver is not like this, but Murray+Joker maintaining a solid record especially vs great teams while losing 2 starters is awesome, and here it is clear both are having sizeable impact - its not like early last season where Murray was coasting and Jokic had to do it all on offense

KasherH | Nuggets

1 | 6 hours ago

Him being international makes it harder for him. The international team is stupidly stacked with just 8 slots. Like the top 5 are all the MVP favorites and Wemby.
