Total BS. I'm not even a Thunder fan or Westbrook fan but what he is doing is historical.

Since when has any all star game been nothing but popularity contest?

Agreed 100,000%. This is a disgrace, Westbrook is probably thinking like, "what the fuck else can I possibly do?!" He's most likely the MVP of the league, too, hence why he's -150 to win it

The TNT analysts tried likening it to where if Michael Jordan was having a good season, though not his usual dominant one, he'd still be starting in the ASG... But Steph Curry is not Michael Jordan. He's never been the face of the league (LeBron), and it's not like he'd be representing the Warriors in the starters, since KD is there also. Westbrook is better than Curry this year in most categories.

This is a complete sham and such a joke. Westbrook's quest of averaging a FUCKING TRIPLE DOUBLE is as historic as it gets. It's the MLB equivalent of the chase for .400/Joe D's 56-game hitting streak, meaning this as SPECIAL as it gets as far as individual player accolades go.

Im not a Thunder fan either but this is the biggest joke in the entire country right now that he's not even an All-Star Starter when he's the undisputed goddamn MVP of the entire NBA

Westbrook was first in the coaches vote, first in the media vote... And third in the fans vote, not sure why that's the deciding vote. It's beyond logic. It's a whole new level of stupidity. You have this new system in place JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE to ensure its done properly, yet he still ends up on the outside looking in.

Again, the idiotic fan vote shouldn't be a deciding factor. It's the equivalent of moron Joe Public and his 45% betting record being able to have his opinion be the deciding factor. It's just beyond retardation and I hope the NBA gets torched over this in the coming days and weeks

It's why the Royals had 7 starters two years ago. Fan bases control all star game starters...you just hope the coaches get the reserves right. Everybody loves Curry and in a large market. Harden (though deserving) being a Rocket still has international support from Yao Ming's fanbase. OKC can't beat that.

Nuts, but most things about all star games are.
