Hopefully he uses this as motivation and starts dominating(beginning tonight), although this hasn't been the case since the selections were released..
Shooting 5 out of 16 yesterday against the Knicks wasn't exactly an all-star performance.
Aldridge is shooting 39% from the field in the past 10 games
Obviously the front office would never use this tactic, but a major selling point for joining the Spurs should be the lack of media attention when a player is struggling..on most teams, a star player would be getting roasted for shooting 39% from the field in a 10-game stretch(especially when he's having a poor offensive season, overall), but fortunately for Aldridge(and any other star that doesn't want to face media pressure), nobody in the media is discussing his struggles..
One line isn't crying brah.
LMA is right you know.
He was worse last year in the 1st half of the season and he still made the AS team. Him and Patty have been overrated on this board for a while now.. tbh
Crydridge smh
Not only this, but the local media in San Antonio is Charmin soft on anything Spurs related. They are Pop yes-men and always point out any silver lining when a player is obviously struggling.Aldridge is shooting 39% from the field in the past 10 games

About what?One line isn't crying brah.

That Spurs as a team only got one while Golden gots got 4.
Not saying LMA should have gotten one but....
Don't get me wrong I mostly agree with you on it.
He doesn't deserve it either so he should have told media person I DGAF.
If GSWs get 4 allstars, then by those standards, LMA should be one too.
Houston is closer to the Spurs than SA is to Golden State IIRC..should Eric Gordon have been an All-Star, tbh?
We are on pace for 60 ing wins.
There's two sides to this. Aldridge shouldn't expect to make it bc he's on a good team. Can't take it for granted, still have to play like an all star. On the other side, if GS has 4, we should have 2.
I really think GS should've got 3 and we got 1. Can't make a strong case for LMA over anyone that got in.
Look the players around him probably openly talk about it. I doubt he would say something like this without the backing from the lockerroom.
When did this mandatory 3-4 players from league best record team make it run the ASG start? The Spurs never even got 3.
To be fair Aldridge looks like Prime Chamberlain when you look at his season next to Parker's. Could be a reason why.Aldridge is shooting 39% from the field in the past 10 games

Who should have gotten the second Spurs all-star berth? Mills? Dedmon?One line isn't crying brah.

LMA, if we're strictly following the guideline that got GSWs 4 ing spots.
It's like ya forget to read the whole ing comment.
yeah, Thompson shouldn't have made it... Lillard, Karl Anthony Towns?
That's just LMA keeping it 100 tbh
The Warriors didn't get 4 All-Stars simply because of their record, though..they got 4 because they're all deserving..Curry and Dominos are obvious, Klay Thompson is beloved by the media and had some huge games, while Green is going to be the DPOY..
There's no argument for Aldridge outside of team record, which isn't a legit reason IMO..if that's the case, why isn't anybody outraged about Eric Gordon not making it?
I get why he's pissed, but lets be honest here. .he's been awful offensivley.
He seems to have a great at ude but damn I didn't realize he was going to be such a mental midget. I'm sure Pop and RC knew he was going to be a head case but San Antonio is just a small pond so it's not like the Spurs can be that selective when it came to possibly landing an all star. Hopefully he was the first of a string of "big name" free agents to come and it doesn't just end with Gasol.“It was very difficult, because I couldn’t be the guy that I’ve been my whole career. It was very difficult to adjust from being who I was to who I am now,” Aldridge told The Vertical. “Now, I’m fine. I do what I’m asked to do. I rebound, take shots every now and then. I’m not really asked to be that guy that I was, so I just the play the role that they want me to play. Play defense. Do pick-and-pop when they need it, and other than that just play off Kawhi.”
