-
I am Maria Taylor.
-
We got all the guys.
-
Check it in.
-
J Rose, Paul Pierce, J Will, Adrian Jordanovski will bring you the latest on the 70 Sixers before the trade deadline.
-
But we got to talk about your All Star teams because the starters have officially been announced for 2021 LeBron James and Kevin Durant will be your captain's.
-
The closest spot came down toe Luca Donkeys and Dame Lillard and Lillard one.
-
The media and player votes But Luca one, the fan vote and therefore got the starting guards spot.
-
So without further ideo our guys, they're checking in from all over the country.
-
There he is, Jalen Rose looking fresh to death.
-
We got J Will and Paul Pierce checking in from L.
-
A J.
-
Rose.
-
I want to start with you because you see the starters on.
-
We know that obviously you're a fan of the game.
-
You play the game in every way, shape or form.
-
You've touched the game.
-
Did they get it right?
-
Do we have the right starters?
-
Would you change anyone?
-
Would you sub anyone in or out?
-
We do not have it.
-
Correct.
-
Dame Lillard should be a starter, but this did not just you start happening.
-
J will.
-
It's been happening since the beginning of time.
-
Bubba.
-
Chuck, My God.
-
Allen Iverson was playing for the Detroit Pistons and a reserve, but started in the All Star Game.
-
It's because the fans vote and time and time again, they've gotten it wrong.
-
And Luca's gonna always be more popular because he's an international player, is gonna have another country voting for him.
-
So if that's the case, he and Steph might as well start the next five years in the West.
-
We all know that kind of work Dane puts in.
-
He's the guy that should be a starter to got Snow.
-
Hmm.
-
Well, I heard Jay will kind of snicker first.
-
We do know the fan vote represents 50% of that starter vote, but J will or of that, the All Star vote J.
-
Well, let's get to you.
-
And you obviously agree with Jalen, huh?
-
I do.
-
Nt You know what I feel like I'm turning into the old man and I don't want to sound like way, but I'm about to sound that way.
-
Alright, because first of all, like look you should be over 500 to be a starter in the All Star Game.
-
You should be over 500.
-
You should be taking your team to that next level, right?
-
And also, I'll say this dame is doing it without C J.
-
He's doing it without Zach Collins.
-
He's doing it without yourself nor courage.
-
Their fourth in the West, their fourth in the West.
-
And I love Bradley.
-
Bill Bradley.
-
Bill was a monster.
-
He's a monster, but they're nine and 17, therefore, to the worst team in the league.
-
I just that that rubs me the wrong way.
-
P you know what I mean?
-
Paul, Like, I know guys were doing their thing.
-
But you gotta win.
-
You gotta win.
-
That's important.
-
Well, I mean, this is based off individual success.
-
And so Luca clearly has the better stats.
-
But listen, this is what Dame's career has been built on him getting snubbed in the All Star Game.
-
I mean, this hasn't happened once him getting snubbed on on all N b A.
-
Teams.
-
Come on.
-
Dane wouldn't be dame if these things didn't happen.
-
I feel his pain when he doesn't get the recognition, but listen.
-
It's made him the player he is today.
-
We're talking about one of the best players, one of the best clutch players of his generation, arguably the best point guard in the game.
-
But if he didn't get stuff from starter from being a starter, Dan wouldn't be damned.
-
Because this this is what motivates him.
-
I'm telling you, as a competitors, he sees these things.
-
And this is what made him who he is today.
-
Hey, speaking of snubs and feeling some pain, Uncle P, you were 10 time All Star.
-
Never a starter's.
-
Is that what you're talking about?
-
Is that the pain you're feeling right now?
-
The day e I was just happy to be there.
-
I was just happy to be among the best.
-
That's why I'm happy with that.
-
But yeah, I mean, was voted in every year.
-
Yeah, I was voting every year.
-
Jalen, I wouldn't I was never gonna win a popularity contest.
-
You guys on this show, you are the most popular uncle.
