Morant is one of the youngest players to be selected as an All-Star this season, and although the three-goal is younger than Morant, the three-goal substitution for Durant went to the All-Star, and Morant is a solid all-Star starter.
Morant's all-Star starter this season is really rare, because he compared Doncic, who has been selected as an All-Star starter for the past two seasons, but this season he has lost to Morant and missed the All-Star starter.
While Doncic was brilliant in the period leading up to All-Star Weekend, averaging 36 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists so far in February, Doncic didn't fare as well as Morant.
So far this season, Morant has averaged 26.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, leading the Grizzlies to a record of 41 wins and 19 losses, ranking third in the West. With such a performance, Morant is undoubtedly worthy of an All-Star starter.
Not only that, but if Morant can maintain such a performance after the All-Star, he may even compete for the best team and become an MVP candidate. Such an achievement is rare for Morant, who is only 22 years old, and of course, Doncic has already achieved this feat.
It is worth mentioning that in the history of the NBA, only 5 players have been able to average at least 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game in a single season before the age of 23, these five players are Big O, Jordan, Maddy, James and Doncic, and the 22-year-old Morant is also very likely to do it this season, becoming the 6th player in history to do this.
Of the active players, only James and Doncic have done this, and James has achieved this feat for nearly 20 years, and Doncic did it last season. Among the new generation of players, Doncic is undoubtedly the first, but Morant's emergence this season has posed a threat to Doncic, potentially challenging his status as the first man of the new generation.
In addition, Bryant once almost achieved this feat, he averaged 28.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in the 00-01 season, but Kobe actually delivered a total of 338 assists in 68 games, averaging 4.97 assists per game, rounding only 5, so it is not accurate, but Bryant undoubtedly has this ability.
