re: Zion named all star starter

I get he is a top 5 player in the West when healthy

But Sabonis has been healthy the entire season and has the frickin Kings at the 3 seed

I’m attempting to look at this from an unbiased perspective.

I agree with you.

By the time the allstar game is played, Zion will have played in 29 games, and sat out 30 games.
Sabonis has missed 2 games. He deserved it more.
Zion barely deserves to make the all-star team, much less start, strictly b/c of the games missed, obviously not b/c of his play b/c he is a top 10 player in the league, when he plays.
I'm just wanting the NBA to put more emphasis on playing the god damn game and stop being a bunch of pussies constantly sitting out for rest or taking 2 months off anytime you get a slight feeling of discomfort.
