Let’s take a quick look at all-star candidates because as always it’s starting to annoy me how apparently each conference has 35 all-stars running around this time a year:

WEST jokic, shai, davis, durant, sabonis, doncic, james, george, curry, edwards, fox, lauri that’s 12. you can also argue for booker (missed time), wolves bigs and sengün (worse regular season sabonis) and chet?! everybody else is out, sry (unless i forgot someone)

EAST embiid, haliburton, maxey, adebayo, butler, brunson, giannis, tatum, *begrudgingly* porzingis, lillard, mitchell, scottie? 12 in east is actually tough, want to give it to a magic but paolo/franz not good enough, jrue won’t score, jaylen still sleep, iffy on ball/young
