The fan vote results for the 2016 All-Star game were released on Thursday. In the West, there was a key player missing from the starting lineup.
Even though he held a slim lead for a starting spot in the third voting return, Draymond Green was left off — he even fell behind Zaza Pachulia. Draymond is a vital cog in the Warriors’ mad scientist winning machine. Of course, no one was happy about this, and rightfully so.
Not Draymond’s mom (though she said last week that she respects Kawhi Leonard’s talent).
Not Steph Curry, who made subtle nods to both Draymond and Klay Thompson with Instagram hashtags: “Thank you to everyone who voted! Know we will have some more good news next week #DG23 #KT11#dubnation”
Most definitely not Charles Barkley.
The All-Star reserves will be announced on Jan. 28. The All-Star Game itself will be played on Feb. 14 in Toronto.
