No doubt but that hair got him looking even younger lol its weird how he doesnt age

Thats why theyre hanging around (jamal isn't 100% washed yet. But hes definitely lost some steps)

That will for sure be weird. Shaq and Kobe were atleast on different teams. This is just gonna be strange lol

Cmon man. This isnt just good passing, this is elite

There's a difference between elite passing and LeBron level passing. His passing ability is amplified because he draws so many guys in. He might have a somewhat similar passing skill (still doesn't), but it will never impact the game as much as LeBron's passing.

Tiebreaker was the Fan Vote, which is why Russ and IT finished third.

If the media voted Kyrie #2, Isaiah would have started. Oh well

 

[dez]

IT definitely should have started Russ too..

Young fans know nothing but Steph Curry though

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't get the argument that IT should've started over Kyrie at all. You mean to tell me if they switched teams that Kyrie wouldn't put up those 5 more points per game?

 

[elcheato]

Isaiah would have started alongside Kyrie if the scenario played out like bosox said. Wouldn't have replaced him

 

[Hurricane Season]

There's no way a guy averaging a fucking 30 point triple double shouldn't be an all-star starter.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Kyrie was voted #1 by the players -- no arguments can be said he shouldn't start

Isaiah tied with Demar, who got in on the tie due to a higher fanvote count. I have no problem that Demar got the start bc the dudes killing it

And it's not like Isaiah isn't going to make it. Like Embiid might not make it and relied on the voting to get in. Isaiah is still gonna be named, knowing he was 2nd in player votes and #1 for media

Starting doesn't really mean much tbh

i mean the argument is that Isaiah is having the better season, which isn't really even debatable

But nobody outside of overly-retarded Celtics homers would rather have IT on the team over Kyrie.

its why the fan vote still needs restraint

if it were made 33% instead of 50%, both Russ and Isaiah would have made it. Both lost on tiebreakers from the fanvote itself too

 

[CameronCrazy06]

What was the problem with the fan vote being 100? It's not like we're playing for home court advantage in the finals here.
