The 2023 NBA All-Star rosters are here, and as always, there is plenty to be debated. Sports Illustrated senior writers Chris Mannix and Howard Beck give their thoughts on the reserves, the final rosters as a whole and whether there needs to be changes to the selection process.
Chris Mannix: Alright Beck let’s … get … outraged! The reserves for the NBA All-Star game are out and there’s certainly a few debatable choices. Let’s start with the Eastern Conference–what do you think of the coach’s picks?
Howard Beck: Quick disclaimer: I don’t believe in “snubs,” and I don’t believe in whining about who didn’t make the All-Star teams. There are almost always more deserving players than there are roster spots. That’s what makes it an honor! So settle down, people.
