The big thing with the All-Star game is that there's always going to be people who feel snubbed, and that'll just get worse with the move to be more inclusive and have a wider range of teams. A great move as it does allow those weaker teams to still have something to cheer for even if their seasons aren't going so great. The other side of the coin is spots are taken from players who are producing or playing better and that just leaves more people feeling snubbed.

I think the root of it all is we all look at that roster hoping we made the team, even if we know we're nowhere near the level needed to make the cut. My season is pretty mediocre, and unfortunately there's no 'Eh-Star Team'. That didn't stop me from looking at the roster and for half a second scrolling through to see if I made it. It was so awesome to make the All-Rookie squad last year and it'll be a few seasons before I'm back on the roster again, but every time you don't make it on you feel snubbed. Unfortunately there's only so many spots available and good for everyone who makes the cut every season.
