I mean… you saw him play tonight? 3/11 FGs ain’t an All-Star. You’ve got to be *consistently* better than that.
I feel like Jokic is the only guy on the team that shows up for every game.
Only issue with it is Ja. Dude played only 9 games. 9 incredible games, but still.
I’m still gonna call him Jamal-Star
There are gonna be some snubs every year, the league has so many amazing all stars it’s hard to fit everybody
I think Jamal consistency is so polarizing because he plays with Nikola. Other teams usually don’t have a guy that plays lights out every night every year. So they are used to when their stars have a stinker night. But Jok has set insane standard of availability and performance, that we hold Jamal to the same standard. Also, his performances in losses have usually been quite quite bad, and sometimes when his shot is not falling, it can look very depressing, like last night.
But overall, as data shows, he’s gotten better year after year and he’s entering his prime. Maybe we also expected a bigger jump after that playoff run, where he was almost at Joks level. But I am sure his injury has been a factor.
Who the fuck were 10th 11th and 12th in fan voting. Been on this sub long enough to realise that fan voting should be banned. Idiots
