On January 26, Beijing time, the NBA All-Star starting lineup was announced, there was not much suspense in the East, Lillard beat Trae Young, and Haliburton of the Pacers was also selected. The starting lineup in the West caused huge controversy, James and Durant, Jokic were selected without suspense, Doncic was very popular and statistical, and it is understandable that he entered the starting lineup again, however, the much-loved Warriors star Curry was not selected and was replaced by Alexander of the Thunder.
Curry has only played 38 games so far this season, averaging 26.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which is very good, but the Warriors' record is relatively dismal, currently ranked 12th in the West with 19 wins and 22 losses, and may miss the playoffs. In addition to losing to Alexander in the number of appearances, Curry's team record and statistics are at a disadvantage. Alexander played in 43 games and led the Thunder to the No. 1 record in the West, averaging 31+5+6+2 per game, with a shooting rate of 55%.
However, Curry is one of the most influential stars in the 21st century after all, the 39-year-old James's statistics and team record are similar to Curry's, and Lao Zhan can be selected. In fact, in addition to the player vote, there are also NBA players and authoritative media votes, Curry has the upper hand in the fan vote, but the players mainly look at the team's record, Alexander's Thunder ranks first in the West, which is a visible advantage.
The famous Su Qun also commented on Curry's failure to make an All-Star start, he thought it was a big upset, "Today's All-Star starters are confirmed, Lillard killed the horse pistol to squeeze out Trae Young, and Alexander squeezed out Curry is the biggest upset." Commentator Wang Meng did not agree with Mr. Su Qun's opinion, he said that Curry was replaced by Alexander, in fact, this is easy to understand and reasonable, now the fan vote only accounts for half of the All-Star vote, and the players and the media also vote, each accounting for a quarter, which is why Curry was surpassed by Alexander.
The NBA officially announced the voting details, Curry won the second place in the Western backcourt in the fan vote, second only to Doncic, but ranked third in the player vote, and in the media vote, Curry only got 4 votes and ranked fourth. On the whole, the selection of the starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Stars this time is more reasonable, and if Alexander is not selected, it will cause more doubts.
In short, it's a shame that Curry didn't make the All-Star start, but the loss to Alexander should also be convincing. Even if he doesn't get to start, Curry still has a chance to get into the bench, and the Clippers Big Four, although the record ranks in the top 4 in the West, but no one makes the All-Star starter, judging from the performance, Leonard is not a problem to get into the bench, George and Harden also have a chance.
