The NBA announced its reserve all-stars from both conferences Thursday night, and like usual, created lots of controversy. Everyone’s quick to label all-star deserving players as snubs, but that means you have to replace someone from the selected roster

For instance, someone like Dejounte Murray is certainly deserving of being named an all-star, but when looking at him compared to his Western Conference backcourt competition, how can he reasonably make the team? Players such as Luka Doncic, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Donovan Mitchell all still exist and were always going to get the nod over Murray this season.

Additionally, at least two more all-stars are going to be named, as replacements for Draymond Green and Kevin Durant, respectably. It’s likely that two players being named as ‘snubs’ will, in fact, be named all-stars in the end.

With that being said, let’s keep positional qualifications in mind, and name some of the biggest all-star snubs this season.
