My NBA All Star Ballot
921 sats \ 34 comments \ @grayruby 5 Jan Stacker_Sports
On the latest episode of the podcast we talked about posting about our NBA all star ballots.
Here is mine:
Notable exclusion- Luka Doncic. Luka is amazing but I have no idea what is going on with his injury. Apparently they have him using a leg scooter, which can't be a good sign. I can't vote for him until I know if he is returning prior to the AS Game.
Sats for all, GR

This is mine. Pretty similar to you guys'.
GR, I'm fine with you putting KD in there, but I don't understand why LeBron is in there. Yes, he is still scoring a lot, but he is a defensive liability a lot of the time. It seems with his current stamina, he can only contribute to offense or defense, not both.
I left Luka out and put Ant in also because of the injury. Would have put Luka instead of Ant if it wasn't for the injury.

3 C's. You guys are wild.
Banchero has missed too much time to be considered in my opinion.
Lebron gets in because he is Lebron and he is still scoring at an elite level.

Wemby is not a C. AD can be an extra powerful power forward, haha.

Ok Wemby is going to play PF and AD is playing SF? It's fun. It's what I wanted to do initially and then thought I should have some actual forwards in there.

Are you nuts? I keep telling you Wemby is a natural SF and AD has been very clear about being a PF.

It's also the "All Star" Game and LeBron is the second biggest star in the history of the NBA.

Preposterous!
Wemby is top 5 in MVP odds and he doesn't even make your All Star team.

He is a C and he isn't starting ahead of Jokic. I am not starting 2.
He makes the team and so does AD but they don't start.

Wemby's more of a 7'5" wing.

I thought about going all Cs in the west frontcourt and thought that was ridiculous so 2 didn't make sense either.
Post yours and let's see @gnilma's as well.

Was AD the other one?

Yes. That is something I would do in a video game. Haha

If they'd allow it, here's the team I'd field from the West:
C Jokic PF AD SF Wemby SG KD PG LeBron

You think Luka will be back soon?

He better be. I still haven't changed my MVP pick.

Not looking good for you.

I'll probably move on to SGA this month.

Who? I am not aware of that player when I look at your all star picks. Odd you would pick someone who isn't an all star starter as MVP.

Those are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's initials

I see. I wasn't sure because your initial ballot didn't mention him. I see you rectified that madness in your ballot pic.

Damn ball over garland?

I like Garland and Mitchell but Ball has the best stats of any guard in the East.

I am surprised Ball is on your list. I thought they were a family without much talent? I should look into it more.

Take a look at his stats. He has been awesome this year.

How were his brothers? They all play nba now, right?
reply
20 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby OP 5 Jan
2/3 of the brothers play in the NBA. Lonzo is a backup player now though. He had some injuries and never really reached his potential.
LaMelo is really good though.

Did their sport brand ever take off? I remember that was a big thing for a while.
