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.
