NBA Fans Call Out LaMelo Ball, Victor Wembanyama Snubs as All-Star Starters Revealed

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball and San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama stand out as the biggest snubs after the NBA All-Star Game starters were announced on Thursday evening.

The Eastern Conference and Western Conference both had two guard representatives and three frontcourt members.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum make up the Eastern Conference five.

Meanwhile, the West quintet is Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokić, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant.

The All-Star Game format is different this year, as it'll be a four-team tournament with three teams of NBA All-Stars and one team consisting of the Rising Stars Challenge winners. So there will technically be 15 starters, and Ball and Wembanyama could very well be on the court when festivities begin.

However, right now, the duo was left out. Fans made their opinions known.

Fans also noted that Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards were snubbed.

Ball and Wembanyama will certainly be named reserves, though. The same certainly goes for Cunningham and Edwards. Fourteen players will make up that group, which will be announced next Thursday on TNT.
