Biggest All Star Snubs | Should the Sixers tank?

But, you know, Sabonis leads the league in reboundings. He's second in three-point percentage, which seems crazy. I mean, this guy is a double-double machine. He's a monster.

So, like, there's even a narrative reason for him to have gotten in. I think he's probably โ€“ if I was splitting hairs between Sabonis and Trey, I almost say, you know, the gap between the person you have to get rid of in the West to Sabonis โ€“ Craig is bigger, yeah.

No, he even was a snub last year, which I think he didn't make the team. And so I don't know what it is necessarily with his game, but I think it's a lot of fun watching Sabonis.

15 All-Stars per side feels a bit much, honestly. For a game that most guys don't even really play hard in, I think 12 is plenty. It's an honor to be there. It is true. If you make it, you don't. And if you don't, hey, it's not that big of a deal. Life goes on. Guys, we're going to bring in Kyle to talk about the Sixers and their season. I don't know. It's a cursed season. Crazy.

Yeah. Philadelphia 76ers are having the season from hell. I think that's pretty much the only way you can describe it. Came into the year S and they were seem to be the one of the favorites in the East. You know, they get Paul George. They put all these role players around Joel Embiid. Tyrese Maxey set to have a breakout season. Didn't even know how good Jared McCain was going to be.
