Damian Lillard is putting up 24/4/7 and got snubbed for the ASG

[dhsilv]

So now the ASG is determined on your team's success?

That has always been a factor...

The Blazers are on the bubble of being in the lottery and the 8th seed. That's not much to brag about compared to the second best scorer on an All-Time great team who are looking to finish with the best record in league history.

+1

who cares what Lillard is doing on a crappy fringe 8th seed.

Who cares what Cousin's doing on a crappy fringe 8th seed? Who cares what AD's doing on a shitty lottery team? Who cares what John Wall's doing on a crappy 8th seed?

[SwishSquared]

The Warriors need 3 All-Stars based on how historically good this team is. It stinks Lillard's getting snubbed, but as others said, his team is on the fringe of making the playoffs.

[Fallen Angel]

Don't get riled up about Lillard not being an All-Star.

I'm sure majority of knowledgeable NBA fans and analyst would think Lillard is more deserving than Davis to be in the ASG.

I don't care about any of those players. So you got me.

Yeah, I'm just a little bummed. Lillard's my favorite player not on the Dubs, and I've been following him since he was drafted (he's from Oakland, baby! ); sucks seeing him snubbed when he's having his best season so far

[RoseCity07]

Has any other NBA starter player lost 4 starters in one off season and made the playoffs the next. He has Portland in the 8th spot even when he lost an entire playoff roster.

[NugzFan]

He'll probably just write another letter so I'm pretty sure he'll get in one way or another

Yeah I was gonna ask about this. Didn't he whine in a past season and then get on the team?

[coin24]

He only really has a case over Davis.. But that's the leagues golden boy

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Lillard gonna be this era's Monta.

[RoseCity07]

Lillard gonna be this era's Monta.

He already made the team twice though.

[The_Yearning]

Somebody will be pulled from injury and he will be selected.

[Genaro]

Lillard should be there over Klay but coaches weight to much team success when voting. Dirk over LMA was also possible.

[GrapeApe]

If Lillard continues his stellar play and leads the Blazers to the playoffs he'll probably make an all-NBA team, which is more prestigious than being an all-star.

I think the league should make some type of roster exception for all-time greats in their final season. Just make them honorary all-stars and remove them from the ballot.

I understand that undeserving players being voted in isn't exactly a new thing, but 99% of the time it's a player who would be selected as a reserve or a player who is injured and therefore replaced. In other words, it doesn't take a roster spot from a deserving player. A case like Kobe this season is extremely rare.
