These air voted by fans, media and players, and it's Yanis, Bill, Steph Curry, Don such KD Embiid, Kyrie, LeBron Yokich and Co.

I Okay, there's there's your That's your starters group.

Now remember, there's no easy First West.

This is a whole new thing now that they're doing what they have to captain's ones.

LeBron once Katy and they pick players out of the pool.

But these guys with starters voted by everybody the reserves air picked by coaches from the respective conferences.

And we mentioned Julius Randle as one.

There's 14 of them that are chosen.

Jalen Brown from the Celtics.

Jason Tatum from the Celtics.

Anthony Davis, who probably won't play Paul George from the Clips.

Rudy Gobert from a really good jazz team, along with Donovan Mitchell as well.

James Harden from the Nets.

Zach Lavine first timer with the Bulls.

Name.

Willard.

Uh, no.

No Trail.

Um, Chris Paul from the Sun's.

More on that a moment.

Ben Simmons from the Sixers.

Nick Vukovich from Orlando and Zion Williamson from the Pelicans.

Let's stay Star power.

Who's missing from the list part.

I would probably he goes by Devin Booker, but I would probably call him Broadway Booker because if he came to the light to Madison Square Garden with what he's been doing, I think that hiss spot and I think that Chris Paul should ball out and say, You know what, young fella?

I know they're giving me this lifetime achievement award because I've been a great player for a long time and sometimes about name recognition and brand recognition.

But young fella Chris Paul is not about LeBron is gonna be the hero here, and they're gonna make sure that that book gets the replacement for Anthony Davis, much like what happened was different.

Lillard was hurt and they had him step in.

Rudy Gobert What about Rudy Gobert?

Complain or cry about not being all star Bears, Gold Bears and All Star this year, so there's nothing to complain about.

But let's just get back to it.

The guys averaging his numbers this year, right?

He's 25 a game he's shooting 50% from the field.

50 38 85 is his slash shooting slash is insane.

This will be three years in a row where he's averaging a ton of now.

The complete used to be.

Well, your team, not with your team is not good.

Like last year.

That was a knock on it.

Well, your team is just not a very good team.

So these air empty stats They're 20 and 10 this year.

Those aren't empty steps.

They decide.

Chris Paul is contributing to that winning, not you.

That's what the coaches are basically saying.

But here's the other thing.

If we're going to take from the pool of players and make two teams, that's not East versus West, then why do we have to have seven from the Eastern seven from the West?

Why do we have to have an even number if were taken from the pool?

Why not a pool of all the best players in the league?

Because it's always well, who would you they don't want?

They don't want.

They want to alienate the markets, right?

That's this is all comes down to TV and politics because understanding that if it's not East versus West is like team to play the captain's pick their team randomly and no matter who it is, and who cares how many players from the West make it or how many teams from the East make it should be the best players in the game.

And that's not always.

Even though I am being all star this year, I z Should he really be an All Star this year over Devin Booker?

He's for entertainment value, you understand?

Listen, do you understand, Alan or you do it?

You understand?

They added the playoff slot just to get this man 13 in the playoff 13 and you need to play.

I'm just telling you, right?

Remember, Remember what the MBA did there about selling tickets and markets and excitement, and nobody is more exciting.

Toe, tell me this.

Who's is I in a player that you would pay to go see?

Yeah, of course.

You I'd also go pay to see Devin Booker play because he shoots.

Look in this league.

Were shooting is such an important thing now more than ever.

He's a guy that shoots.

He could make shots.

I like that.

But what we're saying is, what we're saying is right when you goto all star game, you look at any All Star Game.

It's weird, right?

Because I've been part of all star games.

You have the all stars Austin.

Right now, if you put Devin Booker in there, he's gonna make maybe some logo shots.

Right.

But if you put Zion in there, the wild factor, something you're doing alley right, So So?

So that's going to sell and make the game Seymour exciting and what it is.

Remember, the NBA is in the money making business.

They don't care what's fair, you know, worrying.

If a couple people were harmed, no animals were found harmed on his during the shooting of this show, and they don't care.

They don't care if Devin Booker feelings is herders.

Trae Young feelings are hurt.

They gotta get certain type of players in so that they can sell it to their to their Give me.

Let me say this, then, if you're Devin Booker, yes, there's one way to get out of this whole thing where you just keep getting snubbed.

Where the media they didn't like the media has a vote.

He didn't get one media vote.

Now one media vote.

Do they even have people that followed the team in Phoenix?

E mean reported.

They got, like, one team reporter, but it's just that he didn't get one vote.

So how do you fix this problem if you're him?

As he's getting older now and now, he's always gotta wait for someone to be hurt, to make the All Star team for a second year in a row.

That's we gotta wait for.

What is the way out of that?

If only he had, like, a connection like he played it, a college that he knew, some people that maybe could help him, you know, like get into a bigger market.

You move to the East, we have to change his name.

Would he change his name to Broadway?

Booker.

I'm a BB.

Everything's everything's up for grabs.

All I know is that, as Hamilton said in New York, you could be a new man.

I believe that.

And if he if there's ever a player that's got to start looking at his situation or I know they're 20 and 10 and they got Chris Paul and Monty Williams, a great coach, and they got a good young core there, it's great, but you're gonna be in the shadows just like Luca in Dallas.

It's gonna be really, really difficult to compete with those two l A teams Golden State gets healthy.

You just Is it really the best thing for you in your career right now?

If you keep getting if you're if you keep getting passed over for something, that might just seem like superficial star, who cares?

It does matter.
