There are so many factors that go into choosing an NBA All-Star. A player’s stats, popularity, and winning percentage are the most important factors. Choosing the reserves are left up to NBA coaches.
Because NBA coaches have superior knowledge of the game compared to fans, the reserves are usually less debated on than the starters. Due to fan voting being a major component of who starts in the All-Star game, there are a plethora of arguments over who was snubbed and who shouldn’t have been picked.
Who on earth would rather see Paul Millsap in the all star game rather than Joel Embiid?
