Yes, weâve got the regular faces like LeBron, Steph, KD, Harden, Giannis, and Joker, but we also have 6 first-time All-Stars as well, 3 from each conference. On the West, we have Wemby, Sengun, and Jalen Williams. Jalen getting respect for being the second-best player on the best team in the West, and Wemby and Sengun have both had great seasons so far as well. On the East, the newcomers are Cade, Tyler Herro, as well Evan Mobley. The Cavs lead the way with 3 All-Stars to go with their league-leading record!
With every All-Star announcement, there are snubs. Leading the way in the All-Snub team is Trae Young, who is leading the league with 11.3 assists per game. Heâs been putting together a great season, and he expressed his displeasure with the announcement. Domantas Sabonis and LaMelo Ball were also close to making it as well.
The All-Star game will be on February 16th, and the new 4-team format seems like it could be a fun twist! Weâll be getting into that in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
