Twitter Reacts to Russell Westbrook Not Being an All-Star Game Starter

Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook, who is averaging a triple-double and will be a candidate to win MVP this spring, will be involved in the 2017 NBA All-Star Game one way or another.

However, the world learned Thursday evening he won't be a starter for the Western Conference on Feb. 19 in New Orleans. 

Fellow NBA players, well-known athletes from other sports and basketball fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the matter. Most, as you would expect, believe Westbrook deserves to be a starter thanks to his 30.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game:
