That’s what I mean like you would think he’d be at a million minimum just based off him being Lebron

LeBron always rises up the ranks in these as the season goes for some reason. I expect he’ll finish 7th behind Ant.

“You thought you was kobe?”

I think there is a large segment of Laker fans who don’t want him there anymore. 

He’s 41, Kobe was 37 when he retired

Come on man🤣 I know his foul baiting gets on peoples nerves but he IS a good basketball player.

Watch his last two games (Boston, Clippers) and you’ll have the answer

You mean from Oregonians?? Didn’t realize we had that much pride! :D

Sengun would be a lot higher if your theory would be true

“Grandpa how did WW3 start?”

“Well grandson, Scottie Barnes missed the 2026 all star game and that was just a bridge too far for the Canadians”

Israel votes count twice

Shit even I’ve voted Scottie. Guy clearly deserves to be an all star

Which is crazy to me because a few years ago, Santiago fucking Espinal made the All Star team because of fan vote which was truly a sight to behold. The fact that Blue Jays fans got a fringe starter at the time (not a fringe all star mind you) onto the team, yet Raptors fans can’t get a guy like Scottie into the top 20? Is the Blue Jays fandom that much bigger or what because I thought after the Raptors won the chip that the discrepancy would be smaller.

Norm got robbed blind of a spot last year. Carried the Clippers to start the season averaging 24 on some ridiculous shooting splits pre all-star break.

Ended the season with less of a role which is why it won’t be remembered as the robbery that it was.

Ingram is nowhere near deserving. Scottie is our best player by a mile. Ingram is a good bucket getter but hes also a ball stopper and one of the worst defenders on our team of already mainly bad defenders.

I can’t even lie it’s been a good watch with Mike Brown. The offense flows and seeing guys like Kolek, Diawara and last game McCullar getting trusted minutes is refreshing after Thibs tenure

Listen I’m a Knicks fan, and Josh Hart has been a key factor in our winning - but yeah, Scottie Barnes absolutely deserves to be up there, without question

It’s just a fan vote. Tell your raptors fans to band together and vote for your best player

You’re not including the VPM stat (Vibes Per Minute)

I feel like people aren’t watching the Knicks. Josh Hart is averaging a 40 point triple double if we include Brunson’s stats

Raptors fans not voting him in so far is pretty lame.  

It’s almost like it’s a fan voting or something

He was in all-nba convos last I saw according to some people. Everytime I’ve seen him play I’ve been impressed so he’s definitely on consideration for an all star at minimum

YERRRRRRRRR

funnily enough this year is actually kind of an exception. usually our guys do well, but not as well as you’d think based purely on numbers. usually there’s a smaller but better organized fanbase that’s able to outvote us, but it seems the weak east this year has allowed us to take the floor.

It’s all stars lmao not like anyone is putting any effort

Yes but Luka and Jokic hate the all star game. Having them on your team is actually bad if you’re trying to win lol.

Throw Sengun in there and make it four. Why not?!

He’s got Long Laker-itis

Being the #1 reason you have one of the worst Defenses in the league will do that. He’s gotta get better on that side of the court.

I doubt the Coaches select him when he himself would probably just want to rest at home during allstar weekend.

No they didn’t. LeBron was still Top 3 last year

LeBron’s numbers tend to increase as all star voting goes on but I don’t think he’s ever been anywhere near this low in the past.

Being able to automatically make the All-Star team devalues what it means to be an All-Star.

I do agree with the general principle here, but an absolute legend of the game getting a single “pity” All-Star selection would not devalue it lmao.

It is the all STAR game and LeBron is the biggest star in the game.

(He’s not)

I fucking love Castle, but Fox contributes way more to winning.

Fox is unreal, honestly scared of your squad

Yeah reserves is easy in the east

He has the whole Nuggets fanbase behind him so that counts for something

I sure damn hope so

We appreciate your service 🫡🫡🫡

Wouldn’t Giannis be the 3, hes played there for a good chunk of his career

He won’t he missed too many games

It’s also not weighed as heavily anymore after Wiggins made the all star team because the KPOP fans went crazy on the voting

But Brown can be argued over all 5 of them

Not really. Giannis has played liek half the season. Mitchell’s team is just bad and hes been great but he’s had some rough games along with really good ones (the rough ones have lost them a couple they shouldn’t have). I’d argue Brown over all those guys except Brunson and maybe Cade.

Nah Tyrese and Donovan definitely don’t deserve to be higher.

The 5 players above him deserve to be there.

The highest I’d put Giannis is between Jaylen and KAT.

Pascal did just come off an NBA finals appearance & he’s still putting up all star numbers this year
