NBA has to make the all-star game positionless bc in what world is joel embiid not a starter

Shai robbed lol

Love being a voter – and every year I will say we have to solve having strict positions on the ballot. It stops us from putting in the best 5. Makes it impossible for Giannis, KD, JT, and Embiid to all be starters even though each of them deserve it. Impossible

True or False:

Joel Embiid should have been an All-Star starter pic.twitter.com/kvtuzD04jH

— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) January 27, 2023

Imma say it

Giannis has no business starting in the All-Star Game this year. Tatum, Embiid, and Durant have had a better start to the season than him.

— DJ Stevo (@DJ_StevO_) January 26, 2023

Joel Embiid not being an All Star starter is just straight disrespectful.

This man is in the conversation for MVP… pic.twitter.com/im2j9xt3Hw

LeBron will pick Luka first

— 🎗NBA•Fan🎗 (@Prime_LeBron23) January 27, 2023

LeBron James is 38 years old.

LeBron James just made his 19th All-Star Game.

LeBron James has been an NBA All-Star for HALF OF HIS LIFE!

— Sam Quinn (@SamQuinnCBS) January 27, 2023

LeBron will be All-Star captain every year until he retires

Haters are sick 😂😂😂

— Masked 🎭 (@MaskedInLA) January 27, 2023

LeBron’s going to trade his first pick just to prove a point

Steph is not giving up the starting spot any time soon lmao another 5 years left @JaMorant

— Beke (@BK9419) January 27, 2023

Joel Embiid and James Harden are the two most disrespected players in NBA history.

— Aidan LaPorta (@aidanlaporta69) January 27, 2023

He’s not better than Giannis or KD

— Landon 🌎☄️💕®️ (@Armentro1Landon) January 27, 2023

Embiid gotta score 100 like Wilt to get some respect man

— Jason Dumas (@JDumasReports) January 27, 2023

Joel Embiid doing pretty much the same thing as Jokic with much better defense and he can't get any respect. The other one about to win 3rd MVP in 3 years https://t.co/THvL9EWbar pic.twitter.com/IPhwFxoiAd

— Beke (@BK9419) January 27, 2023

All-Star voting should be positionless, or damn near close.

Joel Embiid should be starting in this game along with Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo AND Kevin Durant. Four best players in the Eastern Conference.

Embiid winning a scoring title to come off the bench in ASG that ain't right bruh he's been better than Tatum on both ends lmao

Embiid’s averaging 33.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game and won’t start in the All Star game.
