NBA players who deserve to go to the All-Star Game, but won t Posted February 23, 2021 | By Pat Heery
The NBA has never been so talented. The league is so loaded with great players this season that there could literally be a third All-Star team with a roster of 15 players. Don t believe me? To illustrate this point, this slideshow will be naming 15 All-Star-caliber players who will probably end up being All-Star snubs this season. Before we get to the snubs, however, here are the 25 players who will likely be heading to Atlanta on March 7th for the All-Star Game:
Eastern Conference: Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bradley Beal, James Harden, Jayson Tatum, Khris Middleton, Bam Adebayo, Jaylen Brown, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, and Julius Randle

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports The Football Team was near the bottom of the NFL in virtually every offensive category, and they clearly need a quarterback. Alex Smith is not the long-term or even the short-term answer, and Taylor Heinicke s gutsy playoff performance aside, there is little reason to believe that he is anything more than a career backup. Unfortunately, picking 18th means that Washington won t have access to any of the blue-chip quarterback prospects - Alabama s Mac Jones is the best quarterback likely to be left at that point - so the Football Team must decide if they want to load up in other areas - particularly wide receiver - or potentially reach for Jones.
