Kawhi snubbed out of the All Star game?

[Pauleta14]

Wait, so now the ASG matters suddenly?

Well it shouldn't, but unfortunately it is on a resume...

No, I mean here, on ST. It's been called useless a Spurs player doesn't get invited, then it's a shun.

Nah, I think most of us want our players to stay at home and rest, but it's always annoying when the NBA keep underrating our players because of the system and Pop PT management.

The fact is that Kawhi deserves to be recognized among the best players in the league but people are still questioning his talent because they only look at the stats ans don't watch spurs games.

The silver lining tho, is that it might help the FO to sign him at maybe little less that he would have been, had he been selected to the ASG..

[Brazil]

he is talking about now but the 9/10 definitive stance is quite I agree

I'd take Kawhi right now because of the Defensive aspect but Dirk is still playing at high level

no

Kawhi still isn't even the leader or best player on his own team.

Dirk in his old age still has proven he can put a mediocre team on his back and get to around the 45-50 win mark

Kawhi has never proven crap, other than the fact that he clearly is incapable of being the centerpiece of a serious team at this point of his career.

I'd take Kahwi over Klay tbh...

So many stupid takes in this thread

I would take Kawhi over Klay too, tbh.

First of all Westbrick & Durant missed alot of games and don't deserve to be in the All Star game! Kawhi deserves it more than the Dork!

Because? The All-Star game is not based on who fluked into a Finals MVP last season because of a great system. The All-Star Game is a collection of players who have been consistent perennial all-stars, and who's playing the hottest right before the All-Star break. I don't think Kawhi is any of the two.

[baseline bum]

Dirk's the right choice here. I don't see how anyone can argue this, especially when Kawhi has missed a lot of games.

Ahh, I thought you meant overall. But yeah based on all star selections, Klay has been better than Kawhi.

Because Dirk < Kawhi, that's why!!!!!!

If we had klay instead of kawhi we'd be first round busts tbh.

You stupid piece of . The All-Star Game is a regular season event. Clearly, Klay is playing waaaaaaaaay, way better than Kiwi.

Kiwi-led Spurs

It's funny you mention that because ESPN is in Bristol, CT and TNT is based in Atlanta, GA.

Regular season event. The Warriors are 42-9 with Steph and Klay anchoring the team offensively... ah nevermind you won't see that this is a regular season event and that players will be adjudged differently in the playoffs. Suck Kawhi's to your heart's content

WTF does it matter where they are based if you still watch that got on TV in cali.

Klay better than kawhi.

In the regular season, you stupid ass crack. Again, because you are too busy sucking Kiwi's to understand, players will be adjudged by a different (and higher) standard during the playoffs. But in the regular season, there is NO DOUBT that I would take Klay over Kiwi in the All-Star game -- which is, by the way, a regular season event and not the playoffs.

I wasn't talking only about ASG criteria... (obviously Klay is way more deserving this year..)

I meant on the long term. Klay is a great player, still a bit overrated on the defensive end tho. IMO Kawhi has a bigger upside and is much more valuable to a team because of his versatility on D.
