  • 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.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

I am Maria Taylor.
