Ya, his first real chance this ASG. Finally a Hawk superstar to recruit. New territory for me. I mean Nique was the best but he just wasn’t that personality. 
 

If we get Giannis at any point I’ll cry for like a day and half.

Here's hoping this works out way better for Trae than it did for Celtics All-Star Isaiah Thomas.

Not sure about this, he was # 1 on the fan vote which is the main reason he is starting. He was higher on the fan vote than the media and player vote. I'm pretty sure there are loads of people worldwide already on the Trae train. 

Good point. It’s just that I’ve never witnessed anyone boarding the Hawks wagon in like 35 years . I’m sure you are right and based on the votes you are right but it’s just so hard to believe it’s finally happening to a Hawk and people really are starting to take notice. The more the merrier!

This rising stars format needs to die fast. It’s so stupid. You have guys in the game just because they were born outside of the US. Nickeil Alexander Walker has done nothing, Rui hasn’t played in forever, but they’re in the game but Cam and Dre aren’t? Smh there was something in rookies vs sophomores, but US vs the World, when most of those guys went to school in the US? STUPID!

You are also not wrong in that after the All Star game Young will get even more exposure. I'm hoping we can go back to the days where the game mattered and players actually gave effort. Mabye the mamba inspiration will give us a great game, if so, it will be amazing to see what Trae can do with some stars playing alongside him.

Josh Okogie is pure cheeks, but makes it because he's nigerian.....even though he's been in the US since he was 3, went to high school in snellville and went to GA Tech? aight i'm done lol

Probably blaming Trae for taking another spot.

My friend during my college days is his oldest brother. Good to know you think he's ass. 

I like Josh, his defense is very good and his offense is streaky at best.

So just because you may know him personally changes the fact that he isn’t close to a key rep from the 2018 class? Ah gotcha lol
 

he looked like he didn’t belong last year. He’s just known as the guy Trae almost gave the Brandon Knight treatment if he didn’t foul him

I don't visit over there but am guessing with a name like "Stillwater" that poster is a diehard Oklahoma State guy. Thereby default hates Trae because of his alma mater and his success?

So by those rules, Noel and Embiid could have been in this kind of game the season they were drafted. Zero games played.

Whoa.  This is exactly my feeling as well.  Sexton has been so much better in the NBA than i ever expected.  So you see what i expected.

[pimp]

Zion is on the team for business purposes.

Step 1: Play Zion

Step 2: get good ratings

Step:3 ?????

Step 4: profits
