Could Danny Green become an All-star?

[xellos88330]

I am biased being a Spurs fan, but I think he has the potential with that quick release of his. If he could only create his own shot off the dribble successfully, Green could be ridiculously scary at both ends.

I have been hoping that his dribble penetration would improve and who knows, since the court will be so spaced, he may have enough room to get into the lane without any help defender ducking in to help. If this holds true, then yes, I think he could potentially reach all star status. Could you imagine if this happens... the Spurs could have 5 potential all stars in their starting 5.

Please let this happen!!! :flag:

zero chance. not versatile enough in offense.

[cd98]

No.

[Proxy]

no way

[hater]

I believe dribbling the ball is a requirement for All Star selection

[Horry Hipcheck]

zero chance. not versatile enough in offense.

I wouldn't say "zero" chance, but this is a huge factor. Danny can't create off the dribble and is generally a pretty poor ball handler in motion. He could improve, easily, but until he does he's at his best being fed the ball on the wing or in transition.

[hater]

the chance would be if North Korea nukes LA and San Francisco at the same time.

[ChumpDumper]

If he leads the league in 3pt% at selection time there would be a tiny chance, but too many other guards score more.

[SPURt]

Green has an NBA STD know as "ASS" or "A System Stigma". ASS is a serious disorder players are born with, those in the Western Conference and on the Spurs are know to have a higher risk for developing ASS. If you feel you or someone you know are unable to make an all star team because the voting is now broken into smalls and bigs, check with a medical professional to determine if you have ASS.

[TXstbobcat]

He is a great starter/role player but he isn't an all-star.

[Horry Hipcheck]

We do live in constant, paralyzing fear of that out here.

[cjw]

If he played in the East and if defense were valued equally to offense, he'd stand a chance.

[Brian Windhorst]

Korver was an all star last year. All it takes is a few months of streaky hot shooting, apparently.

Korver plays in the East. Oh... okay... I changed my mind... if Danny Green is traded into the Eastern conference, then there is a chance he can make it as an all-star. Slim chance, but not exactly zero chance.

[cd98]

He'd have to get voted for and that is always a problem for the spurs.

[BatManu20]

Nope. Love Danny but he's not an All-Star caliber player. Not even as an injury reserve. He's an elite role player though.

[spurraider21]

incredibly unlikely

[RD2191]

Will I ever be bolded?

[kaji157]

Nope, the NBA fans have in general little knowledge about how basketball is played.

[-21-]

I'm probably one of the biggest Danny Green fans on here but even I have to admit that it's probably too late to hope he can develop as a solid ball handler and finisher around the rim. With that said, he is still elite enough of a shooter and defender which makes him better than Korver. And if Korver can be an All-Star...

Nah, it's not happening. :lol

[Timothy21]

No

[cd98]

IS the question will he become an all-star or is he all-star caliber? Crappy players can be all stars, it's a popularity contest. There's a remote possibility if the team does amazingly well and he also does well and the Spurs get a lot of exposure, and hence fans vote for who they know. This is highly unlikely, but possible. Is he all-star caliber? Probably not, though aspects of his game are elite, i.e., three point shooting and defense. To be an all-star/all-NBA caliber player as a guard, you have to be able to attack the basket, and he doesn't have that ability yet, and probably never will.

[lmbebo]

No

I'd be happy for him to win a 3 pt contest and make the all NBA defensive team.

*Only* conceivable way is if he gets his scoring about to like 20ppg. Never will happen.

[Kawhitstorm]

He would have to shoot the ball like he did in the first 5 games of the 2013 Finals until February & the Spurs woild have to be on pace for 70 win season to have a chance over Klay.

[dgspursforlife]

Tbh I don't even care if Danny never learns to attack the rim. I'd settle for him being able to bury a midrange jumper

No... Kiwi is not an allstar.

[steeledl]

Lol wtf. No......

[Spurtacular]

D Green would have to shoot about 60 percent from three and be a DPOY candidate because it's not likely he hits the typical requisite 20-21 ppg threshold.

[Spurs da champs]

If Korver can be an all star...

[Spurs da champs]

Reserve or Alternate, don't matter anyone can.

[Hoops Czar]

All-star game? Talk about a meaningless exhibition games. The thread title should read Will Danny Green win NBA all defensive first team sponsored by Chinook. I mean, isn't it about time Danny starts living up to the hype and wins his first. Yeah, sure, Bowen has five but, that severely overrated POS was a product of prime Tim Duncan. Come to think of it, I'm a little bit surprised Parker, Ginobili or Oberto hasn't gotten at least one playing alongside Duncan. Damn, that award is so rigged.

[random21]

If kyle korver and this sad ass can make it, danny atleast has a shot barring injuries to 8 other western conf guards...

3. Brad MillerYear: 2003
Team: Pacers
Conference: East
Stats: 13.9 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 2.7 APG
Voted In By: The coaches


Brad Miller is a two-time all-star, ladies and gentlemen. We don't know what else he does besides make a nice pass or make the occasional three. In no way shape or form should he be allowed to be introduced as: NBA All-Star Brad Miller. That is an injustice to us all.

The media votes on DPOY...but yea, the all-defensive team stuff is NBA marketing. How many all defensive teams has Kobe made while not even trying at the defensive end of the floor... He never deserve one of those honors let alone how many it is they've given him.

[MVPCues]

Negatory.

And the All-star game is a fan driven popularity contest. It is one, if not, the most rehearsed, unwatchable sporting event in the history of sports. Having said that, there is zero chance Danny Green will be selected to an all-star game over LMA or Kawhi and I can't see three players from the same team making an All-Star game in the Western Conference. To make matters worse, the west is plush with superior guard play (Harden, Curry, Thompson, Lilliard, Paul to name a few) that will make it nearly impossible for Green to even sniff an all-star roster spot.

[Silver&Black]

Will I ever be bolded?

#BoldMiNegro

[BillMc]

He might be invited to the 3 point contest someday, but that's as close as he'll get.

A better question is, as long as Kawhi's here, will Danny ever make an all-defensive team?

[703 Spurz]

Impossible. I'd bet a night with Alexandra Daddario that says he never comes close.

[ducks]

as likely as when leonard gets to be one

[Silver&Black]

That's what I was thinking too Bill...

The 3 point contest is the closest he's ever going to get to the All-Star Game. It's a damn shame really. DG is a great shooter and great defender. It's too bad that the All-Star game and defense don't exactly mesh.

[Silver&Black]

Leonard will be an all-star one day....

[TXstbobcat]

A lot of competition in the west at the forward position for all-star selections, but I'm hoping both LMA and Leonard make the all-star team

[BackHome]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[TXstbobcat]

I am guessing Tim will be listed as a center for all-star voting and selection purposes this season since LMA will be listed as the starting power forward.

[Dro210]

Last year they took the C-spot off the ballots and did 2 guards/3 frontcourt players, idk if they plan to keep doing it that way tho.

If Danny's an All-Star he'll have to go to Danny's All-Star Joint:

[dbestpro]

Yes. He could appear in the three point shooting contest.

[G-Dawgg]

I get nervous everytime Danny Green does ANYTHING BUT shoot a 3 pointer... He isn't allstar material.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

On saturday night in the 3 point contest, yes

[Laughing Gravy]

Much higher chance of him winning FMVP tbh. Then we could start 4 FMVPs!!!
