Stephen Curry showed he’s still known as one of the game’s super-elite guards, but who was snubbed from a starting spot? 🤔 RohanNadkarni breaks down the NBA All-Star Game starters
for the 2023 All-Star game on Thursday. In the West, LeBron James—also a team captain for the draft—headlines a group also featuring two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, Zion Williamson, Stephen Curry and Luka Dončić. In the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a captain, and he’s joined by Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Kyrie Irving. Here are three thoughts on the starting group.There were significant snubs in each conference.
In the East, Embiid has to be wondering why he’s been left out of the starting five. There were four players very deserving of the three frontcourt spots, and Embiid was the odd man out. But he seems like a better choice than Giannis. Both are elite defensively. And this season, Embiid has been scoring more and with better efficiency than Antetokounmpo. In an ideal world, the NBA would let people pick the five best players as opposed to the positional restrictions.
