As time comes to February, the most important thing in the entire NBA is of course this year's NBA All-Star Weekend.

Although many people complain about the All-Star Weekend every year and are not as good as before, fans always say that they are honest and follow each other year.

Especially the All-Star Weekend All-Star Game.

Because the NBA is now in its prime, although you say you can't watch the All-Star Game well, it's really difficult for a player to be selected into the All-Star Game.

It is rare for many stars from the East and West to be selected even once in their entire career.

Even if you have the strength of an All-Star and cannot be selected into the All-Star Game, there are really many players.

Among them, the more famous ones are Mike Beasley, the boss of the third-generation Three Hawks at Marquette University, who was the Pacers' star. He has never even been selected as an All-Star in his career for so many years.

Until now, Beasley is 34 years old and is working hard for the first All-Star in his career.

You know, Beasley is almost considered by fans and experts to be a player with a strong strength comparable to a superstar.

In fact, Beasley's offense is a superstar player. It's just that the defense is really terrible, so he is not a real superstar. His performance in the NBA's playoffs is also average. He has never broken through the first round in his career. If he can break through the first round, even if his defense is problematic, he will be a recognized superstar.

A player with superstar level has never been selected as an All-Star in his career, and this is probably the same era that has appeared.

There has been no such precedent in the entire history of NBA.

However, this has a lot to do with Beasley's unluckyness.

What kind of gods are there in his entire career?

In the early days, there were players such as Chen Xiao, James, Durant, Sir Jr., Anthony, etc.

When Chen Xiao left and Scythy left, Anthony and Westbrook broke up, Antetokounmpo rose again, while James and Durant were always green.

Let's just say that, although the All-Stars are only divided into the backcourt and the frontcourt, you are not the only small forward in the frontcourt.

In the East, not only small forward competition is hopeless, but also power forwards and center forwards are hopeless.

In short, in an All-Star Game, there are 12 players in the East, usually five in the backcourt and seven in the frontcourt. To be honest, except for James, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Gobo, and Oden, who are almost certain to be selected, even Embiid, the 76ers' head player, is actually competing with other Eastern frontcourt stars in the remaining two positions.

It is actually very understandable that Beasley can't compete with these people.

In particular, this season, Ingram and Drummond joined the competition again due to the rise of the Nets.

What makes people even more desperate is that Chen Xiao has returned from the West and is now playing in the frontcourt.

After doing this, the frontcourt position in the entire East is really not enough.

At least, no matter how strong Beasley is, he is still a recognized superstar, and it is probably difficult for him to compete for the last All-Star spot.

And this is also the despairing place in the entire East.

The stars are indeed very eager for All-Stars.

It is precisely because of this that every February, the entire NBA media will hype the list of the All-Star Games to see who has become the biggest loser again.

The roster of this year's NBA All-Star Game.

In the East, the five starters are in the frontcourt, including ticket kings Chen Xiao, Durant, Gao Bo, and Curry and Ross in the backcourt.

The five starters in the West are in the frontcourt, ticket king Zhou Qi, Jokic, Leonard, and Doncic and Morant in the backcourt.

The seven substitutes in the Eastern Conference are Antetokounm, James, Zach Raven, Ingram, Oden, James Harden, and Westbrook.

The seven substitutes in the West, Paul George, Siakam, Trae Young, Jimmy Butler, Thick Eyebrow, Alexander, and Devin Booker.

Just the list of 24 All-Stars, let’s put it that way, there are really a bunch of unsuccessful superstars in the East and West.

For example, Embiid, Beasley, DeRozan in the east, such as Griffin, Chris Paul, Towns in the west, etc.

So much so that Nets star Drummond, who was very upset about not being able to be selected as an All-Star, saw the list of stars listed in the media that were missing the All-Star Game, and finally turned his grudges into regrets.

So far this season, the Nets have a very good record. Before the All-Star Weekend, the Nets have a record of 45 wins and 14 losses. This record ranks third in the Eastern Conference, second only to the 52 wins and 7 losses and the Heat, and 50 wins and 9 losses, and 30 wins and 9 losses.

If the entire league is included, it is only ranked fifth in the league after a Lakers who are also 50 wins and 9 losses and a Warriors who are 48 wins and 11 losses.

It is precisely because of this record that Drummond, who has averaged 15 points and 15 rebounds this season, actually wants to look forward to it further.

But in the end, Drummond failed to enter the All-Star Game without a fight against the will of heaven and change his fate, and to be honest, the difference is quite far.

He is sixth in the frontcourt during the fan voting stage, which is the closest record in his career to the All-Star Game.

After all, he surpassed Embiid in this year's voting.

However, no matter who he beats, when he cannot enter the All-Star Game even if he votes, it means that he will miss the All-Star Game.

"Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains, Winds and Moons"

Even the discussion of superstars who lost the All-Star Game does not have his name.

He is not very qualified yet.

However, with the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, the discussion on the All-Star Game's escaped was over, but the core of the player's trade was Drummond's name, and he was also the protagonist.

Because of their excellent performance in the first half of the season, Drummond and Bruce Brown, two Nets players, performed very well.

Both of them showed very good offensive and defensive abilities and good potential.

Drummond won't talk about it, just talk about Bruce Brown. This season, he has averaged 14 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 0.9 blocks per game. As a forward guard, the Nets' starting second position this season can average 1.6 three-pointers and a shooting percentage of up to 42%. It can be said that in terms of data, he is simply a perfect 3D player.

Many Nets fans even think that the Nets should not list trades as an option for the team, and think that the team still has his position.

After all, he was a player in 1996, only 26 years old this year, and the four-year, 30 million contract signed with the team the year before was not big. In this case, this player is definitely a high-quality asset of a team.

And with such excellent 3D strength, he seems to be a player who is very suitable for Chen Xiao.

Therefore, as the trading deadline approaches, the entire trading market becomes confusing for a moment.

To be honest, the NBA trading market at the beginning of this year was actually very active. What is the reason?

Of course, it is because Kobe's son Kobe Jr. will participate in the NBA draft this year. This player has been the number one player in the United States since middle school. He can be said to be a young player at the level of the National Chosen. His popularity is much greater than that of Xiao Xiao Chen last year.

Under such circumstances, many teams in the league are actually changing their direction for Xiao Xiao Chen this season.

Many teams want to play badly, but many stars may not actually want to play badly.

For example, New York Knicks star Westbrook is very unhappy about the Knicks' bad behavior this season.

The team is playing badly, while Westbrook is daring to fight. This season, he has led the Knicks to the brink of the playoffs and has also entered the All-Star Game.

To be honest, this actually made the Knicks' management very unhappy.

Westbrook is 34 years old this year. Although he still has strong combat power at this age, the Knicks has no mistakes in considering his future, right?

There is really no problem with this. Can you Westbrook endure it for a season?

But for Westbrook, he really doesn't want to endure it. His age has reached and he still wants to win the championship. Although his hope is slim, he still wants to try it. At the same time, he doesn't want to accompany Kobe to continue to grow up from the bottom of his heart. He will be 35 years old after playing this season. How can he accompany Kobe to grow up?

In this case, Westbrook will of course directly fight with the team.

The Knicks were also very uncomfortable. Because of their age and style of play, Westbrook's transaction value was almost zero. In addition, the big contract on him, no one wanted it without a first-round pick.

However, his historical status in the Knicks is quite high. If the team really wants to trade him, fans will definitely fight with the management.

Even fans support Westbrook's choice of daring to fight.

The whole NBA says Kobe is good, but you, the Knicks, will definitely get Kobe?

You don't think about how many teams are playing badly this season.

That time your Knicks played badly and could he beat other teams?

I can only say that there are too many teams that have been bad this season.

There are also many teams like the Knicks who are not determined to play.

For example, another team in the East that is neither up nor down, the Pacers.

The Pacers, who own Beasley and Love, are actually doing bad things this season.

But Beasley and Love are unwilling to do so because they both want to be the All-Star, and they have never been to the All-Star in their careers.

In this case, the two are 34 years old and the other is 34 and a half years old. Although they are both in good condition for the All-Star and have good professional qualities, no matter how good they are in their state, their career peak has been only one or two years.

In this case, how can you be willing to play with the team and waste a year of time?

After missing the All-Star Game again, the two Pacers' stars almost completely gave up, and at the same time they also had huge conflicts with the team.

Like Westbrook's relationship with the Knicks, Beasley and Love also had similar conflicts and conflicts with the Pacers.

Both of them felt that the Pacers were dragging their backs.

For the Pacers, they feel that considering that they have been with the Pacers in their careers, they are the second of the greatest stars in the Pacers' history, so they are willing to give them most of the season to hit the All-Star. Your failure to hit the All-Star is your own problem. How can you blame the team for not supporting you?

For the Pacers, in order to support you, the team is far behind other teams in terms of bad performance.

So, because of Kobe, because of his bad performance, the entire NBA is now like a powder barrel in a trading market.

In fact, these bad teams may not necessarily want Kobe Little.

Let's just say that, when Kobe Jr. joined UCL, he said that the Lakers can pay any price for Kobe Jr.

The reason why Kobe is willing to be a head coach in the NBA is that he wants to coach Kobe in his career.

In this case, if these teams get the No. 1 pick, they can directly rob the Lakers.

The Lakers have a lot of high-quality assets.
