I am Maria Taylor.
We got all the guys.
Check it in.
J Rose, Paul Pierce, J Will, Adrian Jordanovski will bring you the latest on the 70 Sixers before the trade deadline.
But we got to talk about your All Star teams because the starters have officially been announced for 2021 LeBron James and Kevin Durant will be your captain's.
The closest spot came down toe Luca Donkeys and Dame Lillard and Lillard one.
The media and player votes But Luca one, the fan vote and therefore got the starting guards spot.
So without further ideo our guys, they're checking in from all over the country.
There he is, Jalen Rose looking fresh to death.
We got J Will and Paul Pierce checking in from L.
A J.
Rose.
I want to start with you because you see the starters on.
We know that obviously you're a fan of the game.
You play the game in every way, shape or form.
You've touched the game.
Did they get it right?
Do we have the right starters?
Would you change anyone?
Would you sub anyone in or out?
We do not have it.
Correct.
Dame Lillard should be a starter, but this did not just you start happening.
J will.
It's been happening since the beginning of time.
Bubba.
Chuck, My God.
Allen Iverson was playing for the Detroit Pistons and a reserve, but started in the All Star Game.
It's because the fans vote and time and time again, they've gotten it wrong.
And Luca's gonna always be more popular because he's an international player, is gonna have another country voting for him.
So if that's the case, he and Steph might as well start the next five years in the West.
We all know that kind of work Dane puts in.
He's the guy that should be a starter to got Snow.
Hmm.
Well, I heard Jay will kind of snicker first.
We do know the fan vote represents 50% of that starter vote, but J will or of that, the All Star vote J.
Well, let's get to you.
And you obviously agree with Jalen, huh?
I do.
Nt You know what I feel like I'm turning into the old man and I don't want to sound like way, but I'm about to sound that way.
Alright, because first of all, like look you should be over 500 to be a starter in the All Star Game.
You should be over 500.
You should be taking your team to that next level, right?
And also, I'll say this dame is doing it without C J.
He's doing it without Zach Collins.
He's doing it without yourself nor courage.
Their fourth in the West, their fourth in the West.
And I love Bradley.
Bill Bradley.
Bill was a monster.
He's a monster, but they're nine and 17, therefore, to the worst team in the league.
I just that that rubs me the wrong way.
P you know what I mean?
Paul, Like, I know guys were doing their thing.
But you gotta win.
You gotta win.
That's important.
Well, I mean, this is based off individual success.
And so Luca clearly has the better stats.
But listen, this is what Dame's career has been built on him getting snubbed in the All Star Game.
I mean, this hasn't happened once him getting snubbed on on all N b A.
Teams.
Come on.
Dane wouldn't be dame if these things didn't happen.
I feel his pain when he doesn't get the recognition, but listen.
It's made him the player he is today.
We're talking about one of the best players, one of the best clutch players of his generation, arguably the best point guard in the game.
But if he didn't get stuff from starter from being a starter, Dan wouldn't be damned.
Because this this is what motivates him.
I'm telling you, as a competitors, he sees these things.
And this is what made him who he is today.
Hey, speaking of snubs and feeling some pain, Uncle P, you were 10 time All Star.
Never a starter's.
Is that what you're talking about?
Is that the pain you're feeling right now?
The day e I was just happy to be there.
I was just happy to be among the best.
That's why I'm happy with that.
But yeah, I mean, was voted in every year.
Yeah, I was voting every year.
Jalen, I wouldn't I was never gonna win a popularity contest.
You guys on this show, you are the most popular uncle.
