3 NBA stars that I think should’ve made the All-Star team are Kyrie Irving instead of Kemba Walker. I think Kyrie Irving should’ve been selected instead of Kemba Walker because Kyrie is averaging 27.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game while Kemba is only averaging 22 points, 4 rebounds, with 5 assists per game. So as you can see Kyrie stats speak for themselves, he is overall better than kemba. After starting this blog i realized that the only reason Kyrie wasn’t selected was because he hasn’t been healthy enough to play in enough games. Another All-Star that didn’t make the cut was Devin Booker. Devin Booker is averaging 27.2 points 4.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists, he one of only 6 players to ever do that 3 Hall of Famers in Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Oscar Robinson and 2 future Hall of Famers in Lebron James and Steph Curry . Russell Westbrook was selected over Devin Booker because of their teams records but if you look at the stats Russells shooting stats are 23.4% from 3 point range, 45.4 inside the 3 point arc with 79.1 free throw no wheres even close to Devins Booker which are 50.6% inside the arc, 36.3% 3 outside the 3 point line with 91.7% free throw. The only reason Russell gets selected over Devin is because the Houston Rockets have a better record with 32 wins and 18 losses and the Phoenix Suns have only 20 and 30 losses. Bradley Beal should have been selected for the All-Star game instead of Kyle Lowry. Bradley Beal has no help in Washington with the Wizards because John Wall is hurt all the time and they just don’t have the playmakers to surround Bradley Beal. He is averaging 29.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game but since the Wizards only have 18 wins with 33 loses, in my opinion Bradley Beal was just entirely overlooked. Kyle lowry is only averaging 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 7.4 assists to per game which is not better than Beals. Kyle is also surrounded by many playmakers such as Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, Marc Gasol, and Serge Ibaka so his team has a better record with 39 wins and 14 loses. I think that He was selected solely based off of the team he is on not his overall skill.
