DUKE IN THE NBA
- Thread starter Quavarius
- Start date
58 more 3’s and JJ will be in the top 10 all-time in the NBA. I remember a lot of people thought he’d be a bust in the NBA and now he’s mentioned among the ALL TIME Greats!
Gotta be honest, you have to give JJ an immense amount of credit for how he’s transformed himself into the player He is.
Marvin Bagley, III scored 19 points and added eight rebounds in a 110-107 win over Detroit.
Jayson Tatum led Boston with 31 points and eight rebounds in a 111-110 win over Washington.
Justise Winslow scored 20 points and Tyus Jones added 13 (3-of-3) from 3 in a 133-84 win over Houston.

Understandable feeling, for sure. It's just really hard to be an NBA all-star. This isn't the MLB or NFL where each all-star team has 30 players or 80 players.
Each NBA all-star team has just 12 players, meaning 24 total all-stars. That's not even enough for one all-star per team. It's tough competition. I'm pretty sure if they had 30 all stars, BI would be on the team.
Off the top of my head, I think only the Lakers, the Nets, and the Celtics had two all-stars this year (before injury replacements)
Edit: Some other great, great players didn't make it as well. I wouldn't call them snubs, as I'm not sure who I'd say they should *replace* on the all star team, but they were having all-star caliber years. Devon Booker only got in due to injury. Trae Young is having a great year (averaging 25 and 9) but didn't get in, Bam Adebayo is as well.
