“So proud of you,” which was followed by a star, an ant and biceps emojis.

Anthony Edwards named All-Star reserve for the Western Conference
Ahead of the All-Star Weekend, NBA coaches chose the reserves for the All-Star game in Indianapolis, and Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards made his second NBA All-Star selection from the Western Conference.
Edwards was one of the two players selected from the Timberwolves. His teammate, Karl Anthony-Towns also made his fourth All-Star selection.
From the LA Clippers, both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard made it to the All-Star roster in the West. However, two of the biggest snubs happened to be from Timberwolves and Clippers in Rudy Gobert and James Harden.
Phoenix Suns' Devin Booker and LA Lakers' Anthony Davis were other players from the West who were also selected. Booker’s teammates, Kevin Durant and Davis' teammate LeBron James, were named the starters for the West. James will captain the team in the All-Star Game.
From the East, three players made it to the roster for the first time in their careers. These were Philadelphia 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey, Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero and New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson.
Four other players, Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics, Julius Randle from the Knicks, Donovan Mitchell from the Cleveland Cavaliers and Bam Adebayo from the Miami Heat, were also named in the reserves for the Eastern Conference.
LeBron James, who is also the captain of the West, broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for the most All-Star selections. He was selected to the All-Star game for the 20th time in his career.
