There is no question that the starters deserve their spots. These are some really good players in the league. Hopefully, we get to see some competitive basketball during All-Star weekend.
The reserves for the All-Star Game will be announced at a later date, and it will be interesting to see who makes the cut this year. All-Star reserves are chosen by the head coaches in the NBA. The talent in the league is at an all-time high, and there are some fantastic players that will be snubbed. Regardless, the All-Star game is shaping up to be a good one so far, and hopefully, everyone will end up enjoying the occasion.
