We’ve made it, folks.
We’ve made it to every NBA fan’s favourite time of the year: the time when we all amicably debate why our most beloved players deserve to be an All-Star without any vitriol or nastiness involved.
That peaceful discourse is exactly why I’ve decided to take on the arduous task of selecting All-Star teams for both the West and East.
Before we get started, three disclaimers need to be made. First, this is not a list of who I think will make it, but rather who I believe deserves to. Most of the time, those overlap, but ultimately, the voting system is still very much a popularity contest (somewhere, Zaza just randomly started nodding).
