Who should be NBA All-Star Game starters? SIChrisMannix unveils his official ballot
and my media ballot due this week, it’s time to take a look at who has earned the five spots in each conference. Let’s dig in.Nothing too complicated here. Embiid’s numbers are a shade below last season, which gives reason for pause until you remember that injuries were likely all that prevented him from the MVP in 2020-21.
Giannis, too. Antetokounmpo’s production has been consistent the last few seasons: 28-30 points, 11-14 rebounds, five-ish assists while ranking among the NBA’s best defenders. Giannis’s three-point numbers have dipped below 30% for the first time in three seasons, but he’s bumped his free throw percentage above 70% for the first time since 2018-19 while averaging 10-plus attempts from the line for just the second time in his career.
LaMelo Ball is averaging nearly 20 points per game on a Hornets team in the thick of the playoff raceForced to choose, I’m taking Harden. He’s flirting with a Westbrookian triple-double average and seems to have adapted to the NBA’s new foul rules, putting up close to 10 free throw attempts per game over the last month. Plus: Brooklyn, even with all the aforementioned lineup issues, is winning. So Harden gets the nod.
