It’s only been 13 days since my first installment of all-star predictions, but last night the first ten all-stars were revealed on TNT. The starters, even though the new format would suggest fifteen starters instead, included our very own Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson, marking the first pair of Knicks All-Star starters since 1975 (Earl Monroe, Clyde Frazier).
The pair are the first Knicks starters since Melo in 2016, and this also marks the first time since 1969-75 that the Knicks have had two all-stars in back-to-back seasons.
I’ll still include the already-determined starters in my predictions for the full roster of All-Star players, but keep it brief with them.
