Did Giannis Pick the Worst All-Star Team of All-Time?

By

Yes.

A look at the most lopsided draft in sports draft history.

This years All-Star game is bound to be one of the most lackluster in recent memory. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so underwhelmed at the sheer names on the rosters alone. Not even to mention the lopsided teams. This lack of entertainment value came as a bit of a surprise to me but I was able to break it down.

Here are the 3 reasons why this All-Star game is the opposite of “Must Watch TV”

1: Pure Lack of Talent

This year, stars like Curry, KD, Kyrie, Oladipo & Klay are all out with injuries. Two of which, are top 5 players in the NBA. Not seeing Steph and Klay launch 40 footers and the KD drama is just upsetting. These five players alone would be a better team than Team Giannis but that’s for my next point.

2: GIANNIS PICKED THE WORST TEAM EVER

I don’t know what happened here, at all. On paper this isn’t even close. How did he not come out with Kwahi, Davis, Harden or Doncic??? That’s insane! Can Giannis team win? 100% but that’s only Bc the whole thing is bs anyway. But seriously, like it’s so lopsided that it makes you wonder if he has beef/ other agendas with the players he picked. Was he blind folded? Does he owe someone money? Was he muddying the water to guarantee an All Star MVP?? Did Giannis do the 100% chemistry thing in FIFA?? Idk but something is fishy. I’m sure Giannis has forgotten more basketball knowledge than I’ll ever know, but I can personally guarantee a loss for his slapdick team.

3: The Kobe Effect

This years All Star game will feature a pretty shitty end game in order to honor Kobe. Am I for honoring Kobe? Absolutely. I think they should change the goddamn logo, but this? Nah, this ain’t it. It’s over complicated and not fulfilling at all.

All in all, the NBA All Star weekend is fun, it’s highlighted by the skills comp, and the dunk contest. The All Star game is just a background contest for charity (which is great).

Prediction: Lebron 188 | Giannis 160

How the Hell Is Tacko Fall an All-Star?

By

First of all, I just want to say that all is right in the NBA when the Lakers have two starters in the All-Star game. It reminds us that the Lake Show is back, and that they are in the hunt for a ring. As for the other starters on both the East and West, it’s hard to make an argument that someone got snubbed. You could make a case that Jimmy Butler should be starting over Trae Young, but other than that it’s pretty fair. I think the biggest surprise, at least for me, is that the Celtics’ 7’6” center Tacko Fall made the squad. We all know that All-Star voting is a popularity contest, but this is taking it to the next level.

He has played in four games this year, averaging:

5.3 Minutes Per Game

4.3 Points Per Game

2 Field Goals Per Game

0.3 Free Throws Per Game

2.5 Rebounds Per Game

4 Standing Ovations

Not exactly the textbook definition of an All-Star. But, he’s one of the most liked players in the league, largely thanks to the internet.

The fanfare when Tacko comes around the All-Star festivities will be insane. I honestly think he’ll have the longest line for autographs out of all the players. And honestly, I kinda can’t blame people. He’s so massive it’s must-see TV when he’s in the game, which is why I can’t believe he has only played in four games all year. Four games and he’s an All-Star. We’ve got guys grinding through forty minutes on the floor for shit teams like the Kings and Knicks, but they don’t even get to sniff the All-Star game. Fucked up is what it is.

I understand that it’s all fun, but there’s gotta be a little integrity left in this game right? And voting a guy like Tacko Fall is be an All-Star is good for ratings and the fans, but he definitely isn’t deserving. I’m just surprised Zion didn’t make the team.
