All-Star game snub

The NBA All-Star game is one for the fans. That's what the NBA has claimed for years. The feeling has changed in the last couple years. The rules changing all the time it feels like more power goes to the league and others. The week is no longer a weekend for fans but the NBA promotion of who they want the media to take serious.

The all star game has many fun events and set ups. One of them is picking NBA starting line up with From fan voting. The reason why this is important is the fans get to see the players they wish to see play for sure in the all-star game because the nest step is to have the coaches pick the bench for the teams to have players who are doing well. They could get a chance to prove they are equally good has the starters. A couple years ago the league had to change the rules because the country of Georgia voted Zaza Pachcuila in the game has an starter. The coaches would have never voted him in and bigger names would have been left out. This is one way countries would get there players in the when the the league would keep them out. The new system is the fans get half the vote, and the media and players get the other half. The issue steams with players this year who have become fan favorites. This year Derrick Rose and Luka Doncic were in the top 3 in voting the west with some of the highest fan votes above many other more well known players.

The the line ups were acounced and neither Luka or Derrick was on the list. The likely hood is that neither will be in the game either because Luka is rookie and Rose is considered a burnout by the league and cant promote him well because they dont know how too. The league goal is to put there stars in this event so that they can sell even better. But it is my humble opinion that the voting strongly repesents the fans wants. Derrick has always been a fan favorite from the day he was drafted. Luka is known has the best rookie by miles in his class and has a strong European fan base and American. I will have to say Luka and Derrick got robbed from a chance to be in the game, they will most likely not be in the game at all.
