I would be surprised if one of them doesn't get in. Probably Fox.
With how much the Kings have exceeded expectations it'd be cool for one of them to be recognized for it in the big game that weekend, but the guard depth in the West is crazy. Guys like CJ, Lou, and Klay have put up stats similar to Buddy but play on teams ahead of the Kings in the standings, while Steph/Lillard/Westbrook/Harden will be 4 PG's making it before Fox with Conley and Jrue also having strong seasons.

Bro, Steph bent my weak ass over and said 'how's my ass taste?' LOL

There have been 5 super duper transcendent players, that can never be duplicated, that dominated all attention (since I've paid attention): Magic, Michael, Shaq, LeBron, Steph end of list

Can't decide if I need to add Hakeem, total 50/50 call

The Warriors were down by so much midway through the third quarter that they probably were just like, "Fuck it, let Steph just shoot a bunch of threes."

Buddy is in the 3pt contest.

Fox in rising stars.
I'm happy Buddy is in the 3pt contest, much deserved. Fox should be one of 2 or 3 Kings in that game, and he'll have more chances to make the main game in the upcoming years even if he does miss the cut this season.

Harden with a crazy stat line, but I mean, he took 34 shots, 19 threes (!) (only made 5), and 23 free throws (!!)

I just don't like his game. He's great and all but just can't like the guy.

I heard a crazy stat about Harden.

Last 2 games he combined for 115 points. None of his made field goals were assisted over those 2 games. That is insane.

Apparently, Harden doesn't need teammates.

Not yet.

But, it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could get there.

Honestly, neither was Shaq.

But the original comment was more about Curry's impact on basketball, not saying he is on the level of those guys as a player. Very few have changed the game in the way Curry has.

The purest definition of a one man offense ever. King of ISOs.

And while I don't like watching that style of play...

Damn. Do your thing Harden. Dude is completely unguardable. I just think he settles for the step back 3 too often. His rim attacks always seem to end with FTs, a dunk for the big, or an open 3 for somebody else.

The only thing that bothers me about Harden is how how he gets away w/ sometimes take extra steps before launching a 3.

Totally agree.

Which is why I say The Dream belongs on that list too.

There's only one guy in the NBA who can stop him....

@Bolts tell your team thanks for nothing
They beat the Hornets last week, you can't expect them to beat a team multiple times especially one in the playoff race. And they'll probably lose to the Pistons this weekend too, just letting you know ahead of time.
