Tyrese Maxey in fifth is unacceptable. That wouldn’t even be a reserve. C’mon guys, let’s vote harder.
lol the harden cult is out in full force. him over antman and dfox? nah lol
West guards look insane compared to the East lol
Mitchell, trae, maxey and brunson are all better than lillard this season
Austin reaves lol
EMBIID HAS TO BE CAPTAIN CMON
kuzma getting in the top ten is wild lmao
Haliburton and Giannis in the starting lineup is gonna own the Pacers/Bucks blood feud will result in them fighting in the all-star game, must see TV.
I wonder how many accounts each Laker voter has.
Give maxey his propers!
I know why LaMelo has the votes, but him even being on the list is jokes (more votes than Fox lol)
Only 15 games played this season, has been bad for half of those 15 games, and still has no return date
He deserves it, but it’s wild to see Haliburton immediately vault into the superstardom level of votes. As an Indiana Pacer nonetheless
Why does DeMar DeRozan keep getting listed as a guard? He’s been playing small forward for years for god’s sake!
Maxey as an all star reserve is total blasphemy
My dreams of a double Tyrese backcourt are dying…
i think the east voting is actually pretty reasonable. A few guys a bit higher then they probably should be because of name recognition but not too bad
Good to see Harden getting the votes. Last year was crazy.. and Jrue at 10th.. smh. I hope Maxey makes it in
Boston’s entire starting lineup is in the top 10
Not sure how Giannis wins the popularity contest amongst the entire NBA. He nearly threw punches in the pacers locker room over a game ball
We suck at voting
Pacers fan here. Been voting Haliburton and Maxey (and embiid). Why tf aren’t fans voting maxey with us
How did LaMelo Ball, who hasn’t played since Thanksgiving weekend, make this list over Scottie Barnes. Scottie has had Toronto on his back all year.
Or that Klay Thompson or Ja Morant are ahead of Fred VanVleet. Klay is having an average to middling season. Ja has barely even played this year. What body of work is there to even vote on? Fred has been a stud down in Houston, and has really helped to breathe life into that team.
It’s such a shame that all-star voting has become a popularity contest. You see players who haven’t done anything this year getting votes that will impact their contracts. And then you see that the Celtics have all five of their starters in these votes. FTC.
I hope the NBA figures out their volume of scheduling conundrum, because there are a lot of really great basketball players out there that just don’t get the attention they deserve. What a waste.
I’m going to be very upset if Maxey isn’t an allstar when he clearly should be
Surprised Joel is above Tatum and Butler considering how much hate he gets. It is a crime that banchero is so low, he has been ballin.
Fox will be a massive snub in the west if he’s not a reserve
