I guess no rising star game for Trae this year.

Will any of our rookies or Huerter get the call?

Simmons and Embiid are two guys who played in both games recently. But I hope he does skip it.

This ladies and gentlemen is how delusional it's gotten over at RealGM.   They just can't accept that Trae is really good, because you know, he was bad in summer league and he's a bust.  But but but, NOW, you say, well, he's getting better now. It has to be Luka's greatness.  I'm done...lmao.

This is what I mean when I say you can't reason with this level of stupidity and hate. My expectations are already low when it comes to the quality of posts over there, but this is a new low. This is just cringeworthy and pathetic.

I recall an embittered RealGM Laker fan who was like, "Has there ever been a 5-time All-Star who was worse than Joe Johnson?" (probably in all caps)

I replied with this picture, said, "You're Welcome," and went on about my day.

Oh, you know I certainly referenced that gem of a thread!

Ahhh, so good to be a part of RealGM's annual "No Hawk Should Make the All Star Team, Ever" campaign again.

Trae can now join prestigious RealGM lore such as "Is Joe Johnson the Worst 6 Time All Star Ever?", "Al Horford Is Only an All Star Because of the Mandatory C Position", and "Why Does the Best Team in the East Get 4 All Stars?!"

Naw man, no need to release the Krakken.

Special shout to the homie @MaceCase for coming out of retirement to deliver a few off the top rope.

With the cost of my pyrotechnics?  I can only do Wrestlemanias, maybe guest ref a Royal Rumble, but no house shows.

They are like that on You tube as well. Made as Heck that Jimmy Butler isn't a starter.

mad at who though? Themselves ? The fans didn't vote for Jimmy Butler. The players didnt vote for him either.
More players voted his teammate for Bam than they did for Jimmy.

Not to mention that his stats are not superior to Trae's using a multiple of approaches

From what Ive gathered they arent trashing Trae being over Butler because Butler was listed as frontcourt on the ballot.

They are moreso lobbying for him over Siakam than anything

Well on BR several folks were calling for butler over Trae. They were saying he was really a guard and was superior to Trae via carrying the heat to such great success.

Mavs get WCS waiting for lw3 title call.

Don’t know if this was posted yet, but keep the records rolling

Butler vs Trae is just odd. Anyway both have the same number of NBA trophies and Trae is eight years younger so I do like the window difference there.

Your BiL would agree, I am the greatest benc.... teammate in Squawk history.

Congrats, should be the first of many for this man.

I didn't vote but he's had a tremendous offensive season. Just been traumatized by how poor of a job the Hawks GM did at team building. I hope that Young gets a team put around him at some point.

Realgm right now is a joy with the Trae haters.
