What are the biggest All-Star snubs this year?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for January 31st, 2025. Coming up, we've got the All-Star Reserve announcements, which means we've got snubs. Hey, it works. Look at that.
Let's go.
We've also got Kyle Newbeck on the Sixers and Kelly Eco on the Rockets. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. I can't believe we pulled that off.
Good morning. Hey, chemistry right there.
There you go. That's it. Hey, guys, we got the all-star reserves. We actually have a huge show. Kyle Newbeck from PHLY Sports. We're talking Sixers, maybe trade options, talking about Joel Embiid, when he might be back. So stick around for that. And then we got Kelly Eco on the crazy finish with Rockets Grizzlies and what the Rockets might do at the deadline. But S, we got to start. with the all-star reserves, the Eastern conference reserves. I'll just run through the list real quick. Damian Lillard, Darius Garland, Jalen Brown, Cade Cunningham, Tyler Hero, Evan Mobley, Pascal Siakam. And I think if you're just saying, you know, who got snubbed, who's missing is really what it is. It's not, I don't want to do the whole, Oh, take this guy off.
Who should have made the All-Star team instead?
You know, we're not haters here, but yeah. If I'm saying who's missing, it's got to be Trey Young, right? Yeah, I think it is. You know, the Hawks are still in playoff position. I know they've been struggling recently, but Trey is leading the league in assists. It always seems like coaches are the ones who discredit Trey, which is an interesting thing. And I know he took to social media to talk about that earlier today, too. So he kind of feels slighted with what's going on. But I agree with you. Trey is the guy that jumps out to me. I know people will talk about LaMelo Ball. As a potential option just because he's putting up the numbers and led the fan voting for guards in the East. Is there a conspiracy against LaMelo Ball? I don't think there's a conspiracy. No, I don't think there's a conspiracy at all. I think it's just the Hornets are 12 and 32.
They're second worst in the Eastern Conference. And so it's tough to get a guy like that. He's got the stink on. him and also the numbers look he's having like this experimental season it's not a good season yeah it's not a bad season but it's it's kind of an insane it's fun yeah it's great and he's putting up some some impressive numbers and doing some crazy things i love to watch him play but yeah come on i think i would rather have trey over lamello for whatever all-star stuff yeah but yeah What about the West? Okay, yeah, the Western Conference also some snubs here, but we got Anthony Edwards on there, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Jaron Jackson Jr., Alperin Shangoon becoming his first-time All-Star, Jalen Williams becoming an All-Star as well, and then Victor Wembanyama, of course. Snub-wise, the guy I'm thinking about, DeMontis Sabonis, Sacramento Kings.
Yeah, and I feel like with Sabonis, he's a little bit a victim of the Kings' lack of success. I mean, I would point to Alper and Shingun maybe getting a boost for the Rockets' success. And the Rockets have been, you know, we're going to talk to Kelly later about them, right? It seems like they're on national TV a lot right now, and maybe that added attention. 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. And look, they have been pretty good since Doug Christie took over as head coach. I mean, you know, they kind of turned the season around, and Sabonis has been a big reason for that.
So, like, there's even a narrative reason for him to have gotten in. I think he's probably – 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 – Craig is bigger, yeah. Yeah, it's like Sabonis is maybe a greater snub than Trae Young. What do you think? Okay, yeah, sure. Sabonis is the greatest snub of all time. How about that? Let's lean into it. I don't know. I mean, right. Biggest snub this year, for sure. Yeah, for sure. 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. I think he's like a...
