LA is an All Star

[MoSpur02]

Congrats to him.

[GB20]

:bobo

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[Strategic]

:toast

[timtonymanu]

Well deserved. Would have been an absolute snub at this point especially with him being the best player for the Spurs during their winning stretch.

[sasaint]

:bobo

[diceman]

:lma :bobo :flag:

[r0drig0lac]

L-Train

[MoSpur02]

I'm actually kinda surprised. I felt he deserved it, but didn't think he would get selected.

[RC_Drunkford]

rightfully so :lma

[BillMc]

:lma

Hope this doesn't send DeMar to the Whattaburger parking lot.

[sasaint]

Last pick again?

[sasaint]

:lma

Hope this doesn't send DeMar to the Whattaburger parking lot.

I hope this causes LMA to breathe fire tonight.

[BillMc]

I hope this causes LMA to breathe fire tonight.

Like Godzilla in Tokyo.

[r0drig0lac]

Aldridge january stats: 24/8/4 in 57/40/88

[diceman]

I'm actually kinda surprised. I felt he deserved it, but didn't think he would get selected.

Knowledgeable Spurs' fans are well aware of him carrying the team since December, but I am sure that national TV Thursday night game vs. the Thunder with 56 points was huge in getting the league recognition.

[BillMc]

Anyone got a link to the complete list, yet? Many thanks in advance.

[RD2191]

Congrats to LA.

[acoelho1]

He’s been so good this year and well deserved.

[Mr. Body]

Deserved.

[BillMc]

Here's the list:

Somehow, Klay made it.

[Leetonidas]

Surprised he actually got the nod but completely deserved it over DD. Good for you LA :tu

[BillMc]

the Spurs have an All-Star for the 21st straight season.

[SpurPadre]

It was on the strength of that 56 point game that was nationally televised, tbh. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have made the cut.

[Dverde]

No Clippers, Jazz players, or Luka

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi made it despite playing only playing like 5 games?

[BillMc]

It was on the strength of that 56 point game that was nationally televised, tbh. If it wasn't for that, he wouldn't have made the cut.

And Klay got in cause of that one hot night with 10 3's. He's sucked almost every other night.

[spurs10]

:lma Would have been a whole lotta wrong if they didn't add him.

[spurs10]

Kawhi made it despite playing only playing like 5 games? He's resting dammit! :lol

[Genovaswitness]

fuck rudy gobert glad that fucking idiot didn’t make it

[BillMc]

LMA 18,000 points (soon) and 7 All Star appearances. He an HoFer?

[Mugen]

LMA 18,000 points (soon) and 7 All Star appearances. He an HoFer?

It's the Basketball Hall of Fame, they let anybody in tbh

[jmard5]

Well deserved.

[MoSpur02]

I hope this causes LMA to breathe fire tonight.



This

[TheGreatYacht]

Getting that jersey hung

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank god Doncic didn't make it. Fuck that scrub.

[diceman]

Pretty good company if you ask me.

[FkLA]

They mentioned Donkey and his 8 PPG as "notably absent" but not Demar. :lol

[BillMc]

They mentioned Donkey and his 8 PPG as "notably absent" but not Demar. :lol

Yeah. Sad. Just sad. Hate the media bias.

[SpurPadre]

Remember that one year Shaq made the All Star game as a Magic player and every player in the west went out of their way to defend him and block his shots? I hope the opposing team does that to Kawhi this time.

[MoSpur02]

They mentioned Donkey and his 8 PPG as "notably absent" but not Demar. :lol

May sound dumb, but who is Donkey?

[Mirrornick]

Poor dd. His recent slump fucked it up.

[DAF86]

May sound dumb, but who is Donkey?

Draymond.

[SpurPadre]

And Klay got in cause of that one hot night with 10 3's. He's sucked almost every other night.

Yeah this has been a down year for Klay but it looks like he's doing one of those Horry-type regular season coasting acts and should perform in the playoffs, tbh.

[MoSpur02]

May sound dumb, but who is Donkey?

Never mind. I think I figured it out. Draymond Green??? :lol

[MoSpur02]

Draymond.

Thanks

[timtonymanu]

Casual fans are stupid: :cry why did LMA make it and not Derrick Rose?

[skin27]

Congrats LA

[Rosewood]

Fuck the All-Star shit. TBH.


fuck rudy gobert glad that fucking idiot didn’t make it

What's the story with this?

[Dex]

LMA 18,000 points (soon) and 7 All Star appearances. He an HoFer?

Probably.

Still needs a ring if he wants us to hang up his jersey, tho.

[cd021]

Probably.

Still needs a ring if he wants us to hang up his jersey, tho.

-3X All Star
-56 point game
-Should have a Spurs career average of 20 ppg, 9 rpg in 300 games and 6000 points by the end of the season.

He should absolutely get his jersey retired. Also almost certainly a HOFer tbh.

[Arcadian]

I knew he'd make it. Coaches usually get it right.

Plus, he had a 56 point game.

[cd021]

Only Duncan, Robinson, Gervin and Parker have more All-Star appearances.

and 3 all-star appearances in 4 seasons ( more than the cold nephew in San Antonio)

[Genovaswitness]

Fuck the All-Star shit. TBH.



What's the story with this?


utah media seething whipping out the spreadsheets trying to say LMA didn't deserve the all star bid

[Dverde]

LMA 18,000 points (soon) and 7 All Star appearances. He an HoFer?

Everyone with 20,500 points is in the HOF. Two more productive seasons and he will absolutely be in.

[slick'81]

Lma soo much more deserving then dd

[8FOR!3]

Since Duncan aged and retired it’s been the Aldridge era and he’s been a workhorse and a great Spur. He’s a gritty vet, reminds me of Horford although they have different styles completely they’re both tough veterans

[RC_Drunkford]

to me LA was and still is the best big in the league. People hype up Anthony Davis but he can't even carry his team into the postseason

[superbigtime]

Deserves it obviously.

[John B]

I’m happy for him. But tbh the big 3 would’ve cared less, er maybe TP would :lol

[John B]

Demar needs to beast it every game to show why he should’ve belong

[BillMc]

I’m happy for him. But tbh the big 3 would’ve cared less, er maybe TP would :lol

LA said recently he didn't care.

[DAF86]

LA said recently he didn't care.

I doubt he meant it, but at least saying it is a step in the right direction. A couple of years ago when he didn't make it, he went on a mini rant.

[YGWHI]

I'm glad that Dray isn't there.

I got mad when Lowe said that he will vote for Gallinari over LMA...I guess he finally voted for the Spurs guy.

[BillMc]

I'm glad that Dray isn't there.

.

Agreed. Kinda mad Klay made it, tbh.

[YGWHI]

Agreed. Kinda mad Klay made it, tbh.
Me too. But voters love his 14 3's vs Bulls this season and that type of stuff

[blah28]

Does Klay making it help him get the max contract extension from the Warriors? If so, I am glad he made it.

[Proxy]

Does Klay making it help him get the max contract extension from the Warriors? If so, I am glad he made it.

no idea, but it would be great if that was the case, and hilarious if the coaches voted him in because of that

According to an article I read, he needs to make all NBA for the super Max to be available to him.

[exstatic]

Casual fans are stupid: :cry why did LMA make it and not Derrick Rose?

Fans don’t select reserves, coaches do. Rose doesn’t deserve it with his 18 points and 4 assists. Here’s a piece of advice for players: if you want to be an All Star in the second or third act of your career, dont be a PITA. Coaches remember that shit.

[look_at_g_shred]

Congrats big man! But really, the all star game is a joke.

[Killakobe81]

Here's the list:

Klay was not deserving based on entire year tbh ...

[spurraider21]

because that's not how green is measured as a player, and you know better tbh

[Brazil]

happy for him :tu

[Texas_Ranger]

wade and dirk get special call ups and get called for the all star game.... lol

[quentin_compson]

Well deserved!
