Goose not yes it is in too many years you can’t eight straight Allstar appearances for the Greek Freak in his 11th season averaging 31 12 and six he’s third in scoring fifth in rebounding top 20 in assists uh 25 games of 30 plus six of 40 plus and had 64 against Indiana
Earlier this season what would be the next card you have chuckster he only had 64 somebody else hat more the next is from my Philadelphia 7 Sixers Mr Joel yes the uh the reigning MVP seven straight Allstar selections leads the league in scoring with 36 a night averaging 12 rebounds
Which is number six averaging a career high six assists as well while shooting 54% and um of course he had that 70-point game against 70 the San Antonio Spurs who would be the who would be the final front Court starter definitely not least from the Boston Celtics Mr Jason
Tatum there you go 25-year-old Jason Tatum his fifth Allstar selection fifth straight 27 points a night that’s ninth in the league eight rebounds four assists playing in 41 of their 44 games 17 games of at least 30 points so what do you think of your Eastern Conference
Front Court there chucker I think they got the right three uh you know ger and beid got won MVP last year and is playing better this year uh and obviously the other two guys are fantastic so I got no problem with those three guys I’m looking at the breakdown
Here that they have of uh fans players and media so the player rank for Giannis was number one embiid was two Tatum was three fans had it one two three with the uh jannis Tatum and embiid third the media had Giannis Joel and Tatum 123 the fourth place finisher by the way was
Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics shall we move on to the east guards Kenny would you uh do the Hors gonna be reading two names one at a time here sound it out sound it out Kenny a TMO I about that I did I G I gave the
Wrong envelope the wrong guy sound it out just told you that man can’t read oh this is great from the Indiana Paces Tyrese halberton yes the uh League leader in assist Su had a tremendous year wait when is the allstar game oh my gosh middle of
February man cuz he’s out he’s out cuz he’s out three weeks that was my that’s the point I was trying to make I hope he’s able to play Man especially at home the crib play oh he got a bad hamstring 24 points a game uh 13 assists the best
Mark in the NBA uh seven games of 30 plus and he makes it for the second straight time in his Tyrese halberton uh Eastern Conference starting guard there’s a there’s a spot for another guard here there’s another spot and he’s a good one from the Milwaukee Bucks Damen Lillard Damen
Lillard the starting along side Tyrese halberton daman’s 32 years old now it’s eighth All-Star appearance in his 12th season he’s given the Bucks 25 points a game that’s 16th in the league uh number 12 and assist with seven a game and uh game time in Indianapolis as he joins Tyrese
Halberton Kenny as starting guards for the East what do you think uh no complaints I mean these two guys are difficult to guard difficult to leave off any list that says a star behind it yeah the breakdown on this now uh in the player vote halberton first Damen Lillard was
Fourth who was second on the player rank Tyrese Maxi fan vote halberton first Trey young second Lillard third media vote halberton first Jaylen Brunson second Damen Lillard was fifth but of course these are all weighted in the 50 2525 it comes out Tyrese halberton over Damen Lillard and um it’s
Man it was just so tight between Brunson and Lillard for that starting spot but it goes to uh wow Damen Lillard um okay West Front Court Dr roneo you know I know how to read yes I do hamburger french fries french toast French toast all right the captain from the Los
Angeles Lakers the King LeBron James this makes 20 straight appearances most All-Star appearances ever ever belongs to LeBron James at 39 wow 25 points a game seven rebound rebounds seven assists three-time allstar game MVP and uh the quote Captain the captain thing is more of a like a ceremonial
Yeah because you we’re not having the draft anymore but uh oh no a draft anymore no no draft anymore so nobody gets left last no so so LeBron LeBron James uh is there two more two more there two more the next name he plays for the Phoenix Suns and he goes by the
Name of Kevin Durant yes indeed uh suns have been on a roll 26 and 18 14 time Allstar now uh W scoring 29 six rebounds six assists and uh shooting 45% from Deep which is number four in the league so Kevin Durant once again an All-Star four-time scoring champion and of course
Kenny two-time horse Champion CH yes Kevin Durant who’s your who’s your final front Court starter in the west final front Court starter is the vice president of the big man Alliance goes by the name of Nicola yic I said that right y yes you did the Joker oh Dr
Re six straight appearances fourth straight start ninth season for the Joker 26 points a game 12 rebounds nine assists tied for the league lead in double doubles with Deus sabonis leads the league in triple doubles wow that’s impressive with 13 and so those are your three in the Western Conference in the
Front Court LeBron jic Durant LeBron was number two in the player voting uh Joker was one Durant was three fans had it LeBron Joker Durant and uh in the media it was Joker LeBron and Durant Anthony Davis was fourth and Kawhi Leonard fifth in the voting uh which brings us to the
Last envelope and that would be the West guards leading it off from the Dallas Mavericks Luca donic so Luca no surprise no surprise fifth great Allstar selection sixth season um here’s a guy giving you 34 which is second in the league also a career high eight rebounds nine assists he’s number three
In the league and assists 48% shooter 37% from Deep which is a career high in 29 games of at least 30 points and so that leaves us one more one spot Allstar starter in the back court starting guard joining Luca Donis sheay gilgas Alexander well deserved of Thea City
Thunder nobody’s got more 30-point games in the League this year than SGA 30 two of those five games of at least 40 points and he makes the All Stars for the second time in his sixth season 31 points a night six rebounds and six assists shooting a career high
55% sh wow that’s well deserved I’m happy for him uh you know true definition of hard work pays off very very Herky jerky type player very hard to guard but I’m happy for him both East and the West election can be mad well you know of course every year you know
You they’re very subjective of he should have been there he should have been there but I’m not mad at the East or the West starting by Luca and sheay gilis Alexander um sgaa was number one in the player vote uh Luca was number two Steph was number three fans had Luca Steph and
SGA and the media had sgaa Luca and Anthony Edwards third followed by Stephen Curry but overall Curry finishes third Edwards fourth in that balloting so big picture you know we look at what we’ve what we’ve just witnessed here Chuck and what’s your takeaway well I I actually like when you
Were going over I like what the player said I got n I’m never going to show throw shade at Dame Lillard I love him as a person and as a player but I would have loved see Jaylen Bronson be a starter I said this last year I can’t
Believe what a great player he’s turned into when he went to the Knicks last year I was like that’s a good signing it’s one of the best signings I’ve ever seen for a free agent nobody knew he was going to be that good you know uh he has
Been fantastic he’s made the Knicks relevant and uh I would love you don’t think the Lakers signing Shaq was no Shaq was all Hall of Famer you said one greatest it is one of the did he say that did he say that and I’ll stick by
That but it is a great free AG that’s not it’s not bringing Shaq to Los Angeles know but sh but listen Shaq was already one of the best players in the world ever nobody thought no no nobody thought jayen Bronson was gonna be as good as he is you don’t think bringing
Kevin Durant to Golden State was a great those guys were already made men okay nobody thought jayen Bron was going to be no he’s great I mean I’m happy for him he’s going to be allar but he’s going to be an Allstar but but I’m saying I’m saying that’s one of the
Greatest free agent sign in my it’s my opinion like Shaq and Kevin Durant those guys Hall of famous they were already great players when they got traded nobody and I guarantee if the Knicks be honest with you they didn’t think he was going to be this good they thought he
Would be an upgrade but what Jaylen Bronson has did for the Knicks he made the New York Knicks relevant for the first time since Patrick y plain and simple 27 points a game for Jaylen Brun and four rebounds and six assists playing in 42 of their 44 games and I
Should point out I talked about how close that race was between Damen Lillard and Jaylen Brunson actually identical finishing scores of 3.75 but because Lillard had more fan votes that is the tiebreaker so Damen Lillard becomes the starter for the Eastern Conference in the back court um good stuff congratulations to all those
Who uh we had the pleasure of announcing here and and when we come back one of those guys that we announced is going to be joining us as a matter of fact Luca donic in the studio coming up

I'm gonna miss the all-star draft and all the drama we had from last year 😂
Kenny quit hating!!
why lilard starters????????
Donovan Mitchell is better than BOTH of Lillard and Halliburton. These guys don't watch NBA basketball every day aha.
Lillard ahouldnt be there this year at all… Brunson should start and Maxey and Derrick White should be the reserve guards
Ky wildcat getting in there boyz!!!
If only the All Star Games would be competitive… Then they'd actually be exciting and fun to watch.
LeBron should not be Starting in the West All-star over Curry that's just disrespectful and I'm not even a Curry fan. But how don't you start Curry but he changed the game to Everyone wants to play like Curry including LeBron by shooting 3's.
Seeing Steph off the bench don’t make sense
Number 0 is crazy!
I havent watched the all star game since they took it seriously in honor of kobe
Hard luck for Anthony Edwards that SGA and Luka can’t be ignored
The All Star Game is always a treat 😊
Curry, no question, should have been in as a starter for the west.
No star player now on GSW I believe… 😅 and probably will add 1 star player now..
Does Kenny hate Chuck?
Barkley can't read
Interesting ALL STAR Selection 😮🎉
I think Brunson is the only arguable snub.
Charc, ask Kenny about the starter feeling 😂
Brunson was robbed.
I like em all, going be fun to watch
Im sick of lebron james. Can we have someone new? So boring.
They really put sga over curry. This world needs to be punished
AE over curry??? If aliens invaded I'd help them
Brunson robbed two year in a row, remind me of Robert Lewandowski robbed of two ballon dor
Sga is not Canadian he’s an african that doesnt even remember his own roots 😂😂
SGA over Steph is craaazzzzyyyy Steph should be a lock just like Bron just outta respect for the starting PG spot
No Steph?
Dame got into the @75 and now the All-Star starter SMH.
Kenny is unnecessarily aggressive with Chuck at the end. Let Chuck make his point. Brunson was a great free agent signing because of the elevation of his game. Signing with credentials like shaq is good and will cost the team a lot in money and draft capital. Drafting a player with less cred and that player elevating is a way better signing because you'll have more assets to build up the team. Sign lebron and expect to lose some depth in the supporting cast. Sign a lower caliber player that elevates, and you'll have more depth around them.
