All Star Snub

Is Westbrook an All Star Snub?

New York Daily News 

       Was Russell Westbrook an All-Star Snub? Well here is your answer to your question! We all know that big move former Thunder Foward Kevin Durant made this past summer. It seems like Westbrook has taken that move as a way to show not only Durant but the whole league of what he is capable of. This year the NBA changed the all-star voting. The league added new media and player vote to take up half that all star vote. The fan vote took up the other half. Westbrook got 1st place for starting point guard in media and player vote. Rockets guard James Harden got 2nd place in player, fan, and media vote. Warrior guard Stephen Curry got 1st in fan vote, 3rd in media, and 3rd in player. Well... it was an all around tie for the three players and the league decided to take a look at the fan vote (which curry had more of). So the league decided that Stephen Curry and Harden are starting. Which left Westbrook left out. Curry is the starting point guard for the West. And Harden is starting at 2 guard for the West. Let's take a look to what Russell Westbrook is averaging. Westbrook is averaging 30.6 points per game, 10.4 assists per game, and 10.6 rebounds per game. THE MAN IS AVERAGING A TRIPLE DOUBLE! He is having an outstanding season and has 21 triple-doubles already and we are almost halfway through the season. Now let's see what our starting Point Guard for the west is averaging. Stephen Curry is averaging 24.6 points per game, 6.1 assists, and 4.1 rebounds. That's not even close to what Westbrook is averaging. This is what Westbrook said when he found out he wasn't starting. "I don't care about the All Star but I know some other people do... I just want to win a championship not competing for an All-Star spot." We will see how Westbrook plays as a reserve and through the other half of the season.
