Today the NBA announced the 2021 All-Star starting lineup, but it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the Western Conference backcourt.
Damian Lillard, the key man who played the MVP performance this season, failed to be selected. In the final voting results announced, Lillard ranked second in the Western Conference defenders in player votes and media votes, but because his total number of votes was equal to Luka Doncic, and Doncic The fans got more votes than him, so Doncic got the advantage.
This result caused anger in the media and players. ESPN asked: “Dame is not an All-Star starter?”
Lakers star Quinn Cook also said: “It’s not reasonable at all. Dame ranked second in the media and player votes! If Luka is third in the two votes, how can they be considered a tie?”
Kendrick Perkins also said: “It is not scientific for Luka to get a start before Dame! This is my only dissatisfaction.”
Charles Barkley also said that Lillard and Donovan Mitchell should start in the West instead of Curry and Doncic.
