The 2021 NBA All-Star reserves were announced five days after the starters and now it’s fair to say that things are almost ready for this year’s edition of one of the most important events during the season.
Seven players in each conference complemented the starters revealed pastweekand now we have to wait for the league to hold the 2021 draft, where LeBron James and Kevin Durant will pick the players they want for their teams.
As soon as the news broke, a lot of fans started showing their disappointment with some of the names making it to the big game, expressing their opinions on who should have been elected and why some players were ‘lucky’ to get selected to the big game.

As usual, this announcement didn’t sit well with a lot of people around the league, and social media was flooded with comments of angry fans trying to make their points. Some used memes as the best way to show their emotions while others were just fine expressing them with words.

Christian Wood not making the all star game is the biggest snub of all time

I can’t believe Devin Booker is NOT an All-Star. Huge mistake.

Fred Vanvleet: 54 point game, leading the raptors to the second best record in the East since their 2-8 start, 2nd in steals, probably one of the best two way guards in the league. He’s probably a year away from being an all star but he’s more of a snub than Harris or Derozan

How about Christian wood ???

SABONIS⁉️⁉️⁉️

Sabonis and Hayward should have gotten a spot. Especially Sabonis because of how well the pacers are playing after major trades. I get that there are too many players to put Hayward in but godamn

lol who u taking off West reserves for Devin Booker & especially for DeRozan? Who’ve they been playing better than? Stop it
As for the East, I guess u could say Nikola shouldn’t be in over a guy like Trae. But it’s nice to see a guy who’s been ballin w/o much luv finally get luv

Harris should’ve made it over Tatum. Tatum is a better player, but Harris has had the more consistent season on a winning team.
Didn’t have Vuvecic on my list, but not mad at it. Dude’s been ballin’

I kind of don’t like that Anthony Davis made it. Or Zion. I mean… they’re great and everything but better than all the people they beat out? No.
— Randelius (@Randelius) February 23, 2021
Why is nobody talking about Sabonis? Just dropped a 36 point, 16 rebound, triple double in his last game and no one has talked about him.
— Tye Winterton (@Twint11) February 23, 2021
Does booker got to chop off his left arm in order to make an all star game or something?

This is BS Booker is hated

For Devin Booker, the league will grant the Western Conference a replacement if Anthony Davis is unable to play. That could be an option for the Phoenix Suns guard to make it to the game, just like it happened last season when he replaced Damian Lillard.
