Paul: All-Star; no Book

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Paul named as All-Star reserve. Book snubbed.

Weak. I assume this means Ayton got snubbed too?

Lol. Ayton was never in consideration.

I'm hoping Devin gets in as a reserve if someone doesn't participate. It would be awesome to have two Suns as All-Stars.

Here are the All-Star reserve selections.

Anthony Davis will need an injury replacement.

Has to be front court player

This is my hope as well if they are willing to add another guard.

Do you have a source on that? I know Gambo tweeted someone told him that, but I hadn't heard it before.

I know different positions have been allowed in the past. Did they change it?

Always been that way.

Definitely has not always been that way.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Chris Paul decides to not play in the All-Star game and Devin Booker gets a berth as Paul's replacement.

Devin Booker replaced Damian Lillard in 2020.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul will be on the TNT postgame show tonight. I hope he has a comment or two.

Booker playing the rest of the season with a chip on his shoulder... watch out NBA

 

[Mainstreet]

Sort of good news.

The NBA Commissioner will select the replacement and it does not have to be by position.

it's ridiculous if Booker isn't the replacement. We're... I can't believe I get to type this... one of the best teams in the league and since a somewhat slow start, he has been flat out Danger-Will-Robinson for opposing defenses the last 15 games or so. He's made buzzer beaters to win on the road, come up HUGE in showdown games against the Sixers and Dame.

Zion is a high flying scoring machine... averaging the same amount of points as Booker and 2 rebounds more... as a PF, on a woefully mediocre team. He didn't deserve to get in over Book. That's a flat out snub.

That would be an heroic moment

This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I hope it doesn't come to that. Devin Booker deserves to be an All-Star on his own merit.

Ok, I know this isn't the popular view - but I think the coaches made the right choices.

Yes Booker should make it as AD's replacement, but if we are keeping it to twelve I think they got the right 12.

People are mad about Zion making it - but let's be real - Zion is the young face of the league - and he has better stats than Booker. He was a lock.

To me the only legit argument for Book being in the top twelve is either for Mitchell or Paul. Since Utah has the better record they probably deserve two players more than us, and Mitchell and Book's stats this year are almost identical - so I understand that pick.

With regards to Paul it is a close call, but honestly I would pick Paul over Booker also just from what he has done from a leadership position, and quite frankly Paul has been more clutch.
