NBA All-Star Game 2018-19: Biggest Snubs
It is that time of the year when all basketball fans and analysts start talking about the All-Star Game snubs. Every year, we see a lot of good players getting snubbed and this year is no different.
The fans are already furious that they would not get to see their favourite players in the All-Star Game this year and from the moment the All-Star reserves were announced, the focus has shifted from the regular season games to the All-Star Game entirely.
This year will be the second time when the game's format will not be West vs East. It will be Team LeBron vs Team Giannis this time around and the event will be one of the most awaited ones for the basketball lovers. Last year, Team LeBron played Team Stephen and Team LeBron won the game, 148-145.
In this article, let us take a look at the top three snubs from this year's All-Star Game.
#3 D'Angelo Russell
There are no ifs and buts, D'Angelo Russell deserves to be in the All-Star Game for what he is doing on the court this year. He has been the Nets' best player by far and the team is currently with a winning record. He is averaging career-high numbers and the Nets are playoff-bound.
D'Angelo Russell did not make noise in the fans voting but it was expected he would get the nod, at least from the players and the media panel. Unfortunately that did not happen and Russell has to wait to make his All-Star debut.
However, with Victor Oladipo set to miss the All-Star Game due to injury, there is a slot open and Russell can still make it to the All-Star Game.
