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.

I’m an unapologetic Pelicans homer and I’m glad Zion was named starter. And seeing the players voted Z 3rd, Markkanen 4th and Sabonis 5th, it seems to me there is justification for it. However, I’d point anyone who has issue (or not) to Oleh Kosel’s article on this topic on the bird writes this morning.

So why was Sabonis 9th in fan voting. That is what killed his chances. Where are his fans? No all star voting is perfect when fans involved. Heck, AD played in less games than Zion and he was Zion's main competition for the spot.
