Man, the Raptors had such an elite run of drafting in the 2010s

God, that was such a good team

Lowry, Kawhi, Siakam, Gasol, Vanvleet, Powell, all now have at least 1 all star on their records.

Then you also got elite role players in Danny Green, Ibaka, OG. That team was so stacked.

Except for Kawhi lmao

Anunoby is up there too..I ain’t saying I would replace someone for him, I ain’t mad. But he is on that level

No surprises there. We knew what we had.

OG should have made it too

The 2019 raptors proving to have been a super team

Man I miss Norm but I’m really happy for him

Pascal elite.

Siakam, FVV and Norm ended up being all stars. That crazy considering where we got them

Siakam over MPJ is highway robbery lmao

BI should be in ahead of Norm and Siakam if we’re being honest…

Happy for Scottie though!

should be OG over KAT too…

Ingram shoulda made it over Norm and Pascal, wtf

BI snubbed but its the 2019 bench mob so we coo

And for whatever reason omitted from the title. Can’t have shit.

Deserved. Awesome center and he made a big leap since last year.

Ironic

oh how the times have changed.

Nah they’re going to put MPJ in I think

Ingram

He was, but at least he’ll spend the ASB doing what he loves

Facts. If team record doesn’t matter he should be in it for sure.

I agree 

Amen!

Free my boy ✊🔥

Shoulda been in over Spicy P since team record obviously didnt matter lol

Edit: 25.6ppg 7.3 rpg (+3 apg even lol) on 48/39/85% shooting with his shot selection. Robbed

One advantage: Siakam has played in 47 of 49 games. Porter, Jr played in 38 of 47.

I’m still firm that Pascal is a better player that if I choose to add one player between 2 on any team I would pick Pascal.

But that being said, MPJ should have gotten in this year

Spicy is a significantly better defender no? Feel like it’s a toss up, there’s always gonna be snubs and hard choices.

Although tbf I can’t say I’ve watched that many nets games

Low BBIQ coaches

Silver needed more international players for his shitty ASG format

because last year Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton, and Damian Lillard all had working Achilles tendons? it’s not that complicated, the pool is worse this year

Didnt beal also not make it a year he averaged 30 lol

Criteria doesnt seem consistent

“Not a winning player” bs

Because it was never about the record, they just needed an excuse to keep lamelo off

I knew that the coaches would vote for him. He’s the kind of player that coaches love

Cause Siakam a two-way player who been one of the league best closers is responsible for the pacers close wins how is it hard to understand ? MPJ should got in over Norm and KAT.

I was surprised to see he was averaging 20/12/3 based on everything I’ve heard about him this year (haven’t had the chance to watch a lot of Knicks games).

I dont think its like a robbery or anything since you guys are the 3 seed rn and those are respectable numbers, but i think I would have gone embiid.

He got a LOT of votes in December. He played well in December.

But Nov was pretty bad and January pretty bad too.

 

His December play and votes got him in

ballots were due few weeks back Joel will get giannis spot

Siakam is one of the best closers and the reason the pacers have been competitive KAT Norm should not been in over MPJ

It’s the international vs us format. It’s bad

Tbh it’s probably more a reward for the sorry lineups he had to play the early season with when all of our starters and backups were injured. It was Siakam and a bunch of G league and 10 day contracts for a while there.

The middle east

I know he was hurt but no Embid or MPJ is crazy

Honestly probably better off getting rest than playing in this joke of an All-Star game structure. Get him right for the playoffs

Center depth in the east is weak as shit and he is still averaging 20 and 12 (despite absolutely having a down year)

Most of his really strong performances have come after voting happened. Also, nobody who misses 20 games is a snub

Really isn’t.

He’s probably still outplayed KAT to this point but when you’ve missed 42% of your season, awards aren’t exactly owed

Na powell deserves it

He would have made it if he were an international player lol

Norm’s been better for more of the year. If it wasn’t for Bam’s terrible December he would have an argument.

Bam’s PR is never gonna recover because people still fantasize about him if he was ultra aggressive and was a true scorer

So even when he’s averaging like 19-20 on great defense many people are still gonna look at him in disappointment because they believe he wasted his offensive potential and isn’t as good as he could’ve been

Yeah, Powell actually impacts the game offensively. It’s pretty glaring

You don’t know ball
