WIll a jazz player get into the all star game?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Demarcus carries an average offence and Rudy carries an elite defence. The league recognises one more than the other.

I think it's better for us and the team if Gobert is snubbed as Gobert's chip on his shoulder grows to the size of the grand Canyon as he rages all over the rest of the NBA. It's sad but true, but I'd rather see Hayward make the team, it could make his decision to stay easier.

They don't watch the nba, they work one night a week and casually watch big games than prep for their lone night of work.

I guess so. I thought they were more on top of things till I saw that both Shaq and Kenny had Chris Paul on their lists https://www.nba.com/video/2017/01/19/20170119-inside-nba-reserves.

I have seen multiple other people say this too but I disagree.

You could give gobert the mvp award and he wouldn't slack of even a tiny bit. Dude is simply tenacious and driven regardless of accolades or what is said about him. He doesn't need a chip on his shoulder. Dude will give 110%, all star or not.

hope you are right because he might not get into the all star game. but he might become the dpoy if they don't play faves and go for draymond greene.

but for years to come he will receive plenty of accolades

Wouldn't hurt to have him play with an extra chip on his shoulder though, didn't imply that he might slack of if he was made an all star.

Ya I think that his play and effort will not be affected at all by being an all star or not being an all star.
Seems like many people seem to think that if he gets snubbed he will play harder or something. I disagree with that.

I do think him getting the all star nod could help him get more respect from the officials though.

What people are mainly forgetting, is that all star voting has historically taken into account the previous season as well as the current season. At least that's been my observation. That's why in my opinion Hayward has a much better chance than Gobert of making it in.

Yup. Makes the case for DeAndre (first team all NBA) over Gobert. I think it is because people's memories tend to lag towards historical information before they fully grasp the "now"

i think compared to begining of the season he is getting more and more respect from officials!
