The NBA All-Star starters are revealed tonight. Four of our writers who participated in the media vote shared their submissions. Each of them included Tyrese Haliburton:
In my view, there’s no wrong answer when it comes to the four big names in the Eastern Conference frontcourt race. Before he got hurt, Durant was absolutely sensational. There was no one in the league I enjoyed watching more from night to night. Tatum deserves respect as the best player on the best team in the league . He’s upped his game since suffering that loss in last year’s NBA Finals. I couldn’t leave him off. And Giannis is still the most dominant player in the game.
Picking the East guards was much easier. Mitchell has clearly been the best guard in the conference. He’s putting up the best numbers of his career despite a small dip in his usage. Before his injury, Haliburton had the Pacers looking like a legit playoff team even though the rest of the roster suggests they have no business being in that conversation. I don’t think it’s shocked anyone to see how much they’ve fallen off without him.
In the West, SGA and Luka were the clear front-runners in the backcourt. Morant has been spectacular and deserves to be mentioned. But Gilgeous-Alexander’s growth into an offensive force has been the best story in the league this season. Theplay a bunch of dudes most casual fans have never heard of, and they have the fifth-best net rating in the league since Dec. 15. Gilgeous-Alexander deserves most of the credit for that team playing way over its head.
The frontcourt in the West was way tougher than I expected. Jokić was a no-brainer. Markkanen and Sabonis have been great this season. Their consistency has been really impressive, but I think Williamson was clearly better than both of those guys when he was healthy. Considering how Williamson looked in December, it wasn’t really close. The
have been a circus most of the year, but James has been unbelievable in Year 20. There’s no way I can argue there have been three frontcourt players better than him in the West.Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs. Try a week on us.
