Jalen Brunson's NBA All-Star Starter Snub Sparks Outrage

Despite Stellar Performance, Knicks Star Overlooked in Favor of Lillard

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson was snubbed from being an NBA All-Star starter for the Eastern Conference, finishing third among guards behind the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton and the Bucks’ Damian Lillard.
Despite being second in the media vote and third in the player vote, Brunson couldn't overcome Lillard's fan-vote advantage.
Many in the sports community, including Charles Barkley and Kendrick Perkins, have expressed their disagreement with the decision, stating that Brunson has been instrumental in making the Knicks relevant again.
Brunson, who is having a fantastic season for the Knicks, is averaging 26.5 points per game, 6.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds and is often the Knicks’ best player in the clutch.
Brunson could still make his first All-Star Game as a reserve, which is determined by the coaches and announced later.
