Just over a week ago, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was left off the 2025 NBA All-Star roster. Was it a “snub”? I didn’t think so. Up to that point, Booker hadn’t had his best season. A slow start, strong competition in the Western Conference, and inconsistent team play all factored into his omission. And 66% of the community agreed with me: Booker’s absence wasn’t a snub.
