Just call him Victor….saying the kids name incorrectly for years is just low.

Lebron isnt the best player on his team this year. Thats AD. Take out Lebron and KD and put Wemby and AD.
Also, love the subtle comment of calling SGA an MVP favorite but not Jokic, who’s having a historical season.

Cade should be on this team and a starter period!

AD is trash on a trash team. No way he should be an All-STAR starter

I’m not Laker fan but probably dumbest comment here to call AD “trash” when he’s a “9x all star” who is averaging 25/11/3 this season. Only 4 players currently with those stats
And how Lakers trash? They’re 6th in the West. Trash is like wizarda or Nets

@macabree5856 so you think a trash 6th place team should have 2 starters? lol

@@adoust3921 AD isn’t a starter though. Only Lebron. And remember you can “lol” all you want but “trash” teams are like Wizards (6-37), Pelicans (10-32) etc. Awful

Sports media nowadays is like a film critic that stops the movie every two minutes and starts debating, analyzing, and making declarative statements about what they just saw without having seen the whole picture or even an entire scene.. The problem with Smith is he actually thinks his opinion means more than others.more like he needs views and talkin bad about kd will give him that. Stephen A Smith Charles Barkley spent the last 4 years since Nets Covid issues going after KD for not taking a stand with them and publicly making a statement saying he agreed with their stance on Kyrie. Bc his silence spoke volumes they have spent the last 4yrs on attacking him

40 year old to start in your all star game. You’re going to get 40 year old energy and effort from your other cast.

Some fans are just dumb dumbs… I saw a lot of life time achievement award all star votes here in the west. But Wemby and Ant should be starters but they will be there for sure regardless.

Wemby is gunna make the reserves he’s the best defender in the league by a wide margin while also putting up elite offensive numbers. He putting up the most blocks of any player in the past 30 years.
