  Isiah Thomas is having a good year. Better than Kyrie Irving. That's why he's picked for all star game over him. Obviously no one would take Isiah Thomas over Kyrie Irving for their franchise , but picking for an allstar reserve, you judge who's having the better year. Which there's no debating Thomas is having a better year.

  I've seen this argument thrown around through out the years of all star voting in all sports. Some approach the all star game as a reward to players who had a great 2nd half of the season from the previous. Using this argument, I could easily see the argument for Kyrie over Thomas.
  
  I'd prefer Kyrie to focus on getting back to 100% and having a dominant 2nd half to the season than worry about the ASG anyway, but let's be real here. If MJ was hurt for 50% of the first half of the season, he still would deserve the nod for a All Star roster spot.

  Putting Kyrie on would be a slap in the face seeing as hes missed half the games, and he's finally getting his legs under him. No one in their right mind puts him on the all star team. Especially the year Thomas is having.

  It's a game for the fans, it wouldn't be a slap in the face to anybody. What if Lebron was hurt this first half of the season? Nobody would blink if he got in over Thomas. Good story for Isaiah, but at the end of the day he most likely won't be invited to the team USA try outs, let alone make the team.

  It's hard to make the argument for Kyrie without looking biased, but I would be saying the same thing for any star player in the same situation.

  That would make sense if Kyrie was Lebron, but he's not an all time great so he'd never get that kind of pass.

  Why are you getting so butthurt and defensive abotu Isiah fucking Thomas (ZOMG, did I mispell his name? I'm sure you'll tell me!).
  
  So KI is coming off of a broken knee cap and has played in like 15 games or something. He's been getting his legs under him, and playing much better over last 3 games. Lets see where he is at the end of the season.
  
  As for the all star, it's a fan game, and sorry DGAF KI is a better player (by a lot) than thomas. He didn't make it in this season, DRGAF he's still a better player and will be a better player at the end of thew season regardless of stats/All Star votes. Hell, you think Kobe is having a better season that Lilliard? HE GOT THE ALL STAR VOAT!!!111 PROVE ME WRONG!!! /Zwick.
  
  Grow up, get some brain cells, and then we can discuss who is a better player. Since you're JOing to Thomas's stat line, you think Kawhi Leonard is a worse player than James Harden?
• Automatik

  

  Yeah, you're not butthurt at all. Rough Monday?
• DeyDurkie5

  

  Damn coa is one defensive douche.
  
  Is he seriously that mad that zwick thinks Isaiah Thomas deserves it over kyrie because kyrie has limited playing time this year? Wow..

  Don't worry, all you have to do is post something slightly less than the Browns being SB contenders and deydurkie will go full on butt hurt mode. LOL at the hypocrisy.

  Annnnnd butt hurt detected.
  
  I didn't disagree with zwick, just saying I can see the argument for Kyrie. I provided the argument why. Instead of reading the last 3 posts, try to keep up.

  Paul George is having a better season than Durrant last season at the ASB. Crux of Zwick's arguement.
  
  Well, PG has been hurt, what's your fucking point? Anyone think Durrant shouldn't be at the ASG? Then you tack on his arrogance and how he was aghast that anyone ever disagree with him (or his complete lack of being able to understand anything but his opinion) and you have the back and fourth. He looked at stats, didn't consider anything else and started thumping his chest with his hottake. Just lol at his triple post.

  He said he said Thomas was having a better year (which he is) and you flew off the handle. It's not a big deal. Who really gives a fuck about the all-star game anyway? Will you even watch it?
