Unc & Gil debate Devin Booker’s All-Star chances in crowded West backcourt | Nightcap NBA

It’s going to be very interesting because that allstar game ain’t no guaranteed books going to get selected with the way Shay’s playing you still got Steph Curry who’s a fan favorite and you got Luca man we’re not doing that the book every year doing that the book Gil all honesty

Who you you put him in over Shay you put him in over Steph or you put him in over Luca I ain’t mentioned dear and fox who’s giving you 30 a night Hey listen listen no because there’s going to be a power for they be a power forward in there that don’t

Belong they’re gonna be a power forward that don’t belong in there and then they do that every year they do that every year you got because it be it a ain’t a whole lot because you think about it you got LeBron KD ad you got sabonis those

Are really uh uh that’s really only bigs but him right come on like that he’s not he’s not he’s really he’s really a five let’s just say he’s a five because they don’t really have I mean come on now I understand gobe but come on now now what

We what we going to do with go bear but that’s the point that’s the the whole thing about the All-Star game is this the the when you’re doing reserves right it’s you’re voting they tell you to vote for the best seven or the best eight you

Best for you you vote for the best eight and then someone puts them in position right so in reality book can have the third most votes as a starter but because they have two guards in front of him now they got to fill the roster up with power forwards and and Wing guys

And it’s like that’s unfair because you know Steph Steph is Steph is probably going to win the fan boat he’s Steph Curry J got J came back so we don’t know what the fans gonna do just for J himself he he Ain he ain’t beating Steph because Steph has already been Steph has

Been a captain do you know how many votes you got to be to be a captain no no no no you’re right you’re right you’re right but but you now now you okay jaw’s back so now you got Jah you got Shay you got Luca you got Steph you

Got defox and you got book you can’t take six guards but you should but what I’m saying is think about think about it like think about if those six guards are all averaging 30 and they’re in the top eight in scoring that is horrible to say these

Ain’t all stars yeah they all are all star they shouldn’t be competing against each other they should be competing against the people that being selected too so if it’s me versus Rudy whose numbers is better mine I’ll get the rebound goddamn it I I think I think what’s gonna happen is that some

Of these guards are gonna get left because they’re gonna have to have some bigs and and there’s a chance that Rudy Gober and Carl Anthony towns because those are the biggest guys you ad and LeBron’s gonna make it KD is gonna make it um I who who who and you got sabonis

Those you got I mean you got um Joker yeah Yoke’s gonna make it you got so you have so the starting two guards I mean the two guards so it makes it tough because uh Luca and Steph will be starting so you now you have a now you

Have Shay who’s the MVP candidate yes coming yes yes and so you and you look at it and and and D Fox gting you what what he’s giving you Hur him and and you got JW I think you know jaw coming back late that might hurt him especially the

Reporters I think the I think the players and the fans it all it all it’s all contingent but I think it’s going to hurt it with the reporters um the players they love J rightfully so because he’s watching him being at a game and watching him how he elevates

And how he can contort his body and he’s not a big man uh as far as far as far as you know thin frame to go to take that pounding because it’s like every time he’s elevating he’s landing on the floor yeah but it’s G to be a very very tough

Situation I don’t envy the guys that’s having to make that make that decision because somebody’s going to miss an All-Star game because they happen to play a position play a position that and it sucks because you’ve already changed the format right when you got scared that um patula was it patula who

All who made and then very the very next year you changed it up right so you you change it for when you want to if six guards in the west are the top six players in the in in in the west coast right you have to change it for them you

Can’t say oh Booker you’re not an Allstar which you’re not an Allstar but you’re gonna be an all NBA player yeah that’s the that’s the downside of it he doesn’t make top 24 but he becomes top 15 and then the guy who you put as a top

24 is not even going to make any of those lists yeah that’s the hor part about that about this and you look it it happens in all sports every year there’s a receiver or there’s a running back or there’s a lineman offense defense that someone thinks that should have made it

And didn’t make it um and and oh we forgot Ant-Man with Ant-Man they’re gonna put him as a wing so he gets to make it oh they G oh they go they G list him as a wing yeah they they list him as a wing

And he gets to make it yeah it’s it’s going to be very this hey oh so what they going to list what they going to list Kawai and PG as yo you forget and James Harden what you gonna lift him ass like see like some that’s what I said if if book is

Gonna have troubles making it averaging damn 28 eight and eight but they see they got they got Ant-Man as a guard in the in the uh Allstar voting so if they got him as a guard then they’ll take um they’ll probably take and Antman and they probably take Antman and F

Where’s Fox record at where where they record I think they just I think did they hold on to beat Orlando tonight hold on they in double is 136 with 4.2 seconds Sacramento’s up 138 135 so they’re 19 and 13 um 18 and 16 I mean it’ll go it’ be close between Fox

And Booker that’ll be with Antman yeah uh dear and fox not having a good night tonight uh sabonis is 20 sabonis is 22 23 and 12 yeah see I mean that’s what I said so it’s you know him cat you know they’re gonna they’re gonna sneak in

Yeah but you know Kawai they gonna sneak up like you’re gonna they find a way to put the players that they want in but it’s usually it’s usually a guard that gets that gets messed up because the guard Nows are the more dominant players I’m looking I’m looking at the uh Luca

Donic is averaging 33 Shay gilis is averaging 31 Darren Fox is averaging 30 Steph Curry is averaging 28 Anthony Simons is averaging 27 Antman is averaging 27 Devin Booker’s averaging 26 jaw’s averaging 26 oh I left out KY too I mean see they keep H my like oh

You ain’t play you ain’t play enough games so you know they’ll try to make an excuse um you know some some years it’s it’s just very difficult like when um when Steve Nash was uh MVP he came off the bench in All-Star game yeah yeah TM

And and and and uh Kobe at the one nobody’s surprised by that you know so you know it’s it’s so hey look I M up the remember when they voted magic magic wasn’t even play and they voted him into the All-Star Game and he started and won

The MVP down at Orlando because I win so getting voted in yeah you’re absolutely right if they want to get you in they can get you into that ball Game

Shannon Sharpe and Gilbert Arenas debate whether Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker will make the NBA All-Star Game this year or if he’ll be left out in favor of other stars like Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and other elite Western Conference guards.

  1. once you are a MVP, you should be invited automatically to some additional spots, remember when Shaq was being a All-Star late in his career?, if you make it automatically, LB, Steph, KD, Jokic, all this guys clean the space for more talent to get the chance

  2. So 27pts 8.2 Assists and 5.3 Rebounds a game isn’t an All-Star on 47 percent shooting, Steph is avg 27.6pts 4.4 rbds and 4.6 assists on 45 percent shooting on a worse team. Fox avgs are 29.2pts 4.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists. So where is it that Book shouldn’t be an All-Star!!

  3. They still left out kawhi who the clippers haven't really lost with him in the lineup (pf course after those first games with harden)

  4. You need to have it by positions because if not there could be a year when you have all guards or all power forwards or all forward and one center, etc…. It doesn’t reward people for being the best at their position, like centers or forwards or guards.

  5. But for me last year the most impresive stat for votes was Kyrie

    FANS HAD HIM AT 1
    THE PLAYERS AND COACHES HAD HIM AT 1

    but the Media had him at???? Whaaaat

  6. These two jokers didn’t even mention the Joker, no pun intended. 🤦‍♂️ All star game is about who is balling with superstar box office appeal. Excluding none starters & injured and suspended players starting 5: Bron, Curry, KD, Joker, Luka, subs: Shay, Ant, AD, PG, Book. Everyone else good look next year. Honorary mention: Sabonis, Fox, Harden, Leonard, Towns.

  7. I don’t think they should make the votes positionless but they should get rid of the east and west All stars. Especially since players choose their teams anyway.
