 What's the word y'all? In a couple seconds the inside the NBA crew is going to announce the 2024 NBA All-Star Reserves and we're going to react to it together. Every year this day there's so many arguments on Twitter because we got to think about it like this. Our league is as talented as it's ever been. There's only 12 roster spots. We already know five in each conference so we got seven spots for so many players. When I was talking about it on the Kenny Beats and Podcast, link is in the description, there's like 18 real real people out west that deserve to be All-Stars. So that means six of those are getting snubbed and we've got to find out who and why I guess and we're going to talk about it. You know who I think is going to get snubbed and I don't want this to happen but one of the Sacramento Kings players is going to get snubbed. I think that Larry Markin is going to get snubbed which all of this sucks. Again it's only so many roster spots but those are just my predictions right now and we'll see. I love how it's like a money in a bank type scenario. She walks in with a briefcase. Nobody knows. Does she know? Who knows? Who put together the briefcase? Is she just the deliverer or did she create it to? The coaches never did. The real criticism they deserve. When your favorite player is snubbed, don't blame nobody but the coaches because they do all of the reserves. I think it's time we get into this. Oh they can write it to it right at the top of the show. I love this. I love this. No commercial breaks is getting us going. Nobody on my favorite team is even in contention for All-Star but I'm nervous. I'm nervous for these people man. From the Los Angeles Clippers, Kauai Leonard. That was a lot. Kauai Leonard was a lot. We all knew that. It's having an amazing season. Obviously he's been playing the entire year. I mean he's been ridiculous. I think he's shooting 60%, 50% from three in 2024 so far. He's been killing it. The Clippers have been killing it. This is a non-starter. Everybody should have had Kauai Leonard on their list. Easy. From the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis. There we go. Anthony Davis should have been a lot too. I'm not mad at Anthony Davis being a lot. Yeah we're talking about two people for the Lakers who are below 500 team. It's just the way it is man. Those are two of the top 10-12 players in basketball. This is no surprise. Yeah they're below 500 and they got two All-Stars. It's just the way it is right now. Come on Kenny. Give me something good. Devin Booker. Okay. Okay. Now Devin Booker was a guy I had on my ballot but I wasn't sure if he was going to be an odd man now. I mean he just had 60. He's dropped 50 this season. It makes sense. Now they're not telling us. Devin Booker, I'm just assuming that means that Devin Booker takes one of the two guard spots and he's not a wild card. And then Kauai and Anthony Davis are two forwards but not the wild card. I don't know. They don't explain it. Okay. Okay. Easy. Another lock. Another lock. This is going exactly the way I thought it was going to go. It's going exactly the way I thought. This is a huge one. This is a huge one right here. If it is Steph then that means that that's one of the wild card spots done. Okay. All right. So now we know that one of the wild card spots because that means that a combination of the two of Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards and Steph Curry were guards. So one of our wild card spots is gone already. So the people that were on the fringes it's not looking great because it's already over. And from the Los Angeles Clippers, Paul George. Paul George is probably the forward spot. So there's one spot left for Larry Marketed, De'Aaron Fox, DeMonte Sabonis. Who am I forgetting? Let me go to the standards real quick because I'm forgetting about some of the lead players. It's one roster spot for all of these dudes. Cardony Towns, Zion's last Brandon Ingram. All right. Here we go. Here we go. I'm going to actually open the card and then read it and not try any of that. Okay. Final reserve. Sabonis. Sabonis. From the Minnesota Timberwolves. Carl. Carl Anthony Towns. In the western province of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wow. There we go. There we go. There we go. Cat is in. So no king. No kinks. Wow. No kinks at all. I thought they were getting one. What did I say in the beginning? One of the kings is going to get snubbed. And Larry Marketed is going to get snubbed. All three of them. Conference. And we just found out that Joellen Bede has a torn meniscus. My whole mood just shifted, man. My whole mood just shifted, bro. What the heck, man? Okay. So there's no timetable as of right now, but a torn meniscus is a torn meniscus. I mean, he had already got to the point where he wasn't going to be the MVP because he's just missed so many games. But I was past that. I just wanted to see a rest of healthy season and a playoff run for Joellen Bede. And now that's less likely for a whole conversation about that. We'll try to get the mood back up when we get to the Easter Conference, but man, that sucks. Easter Conference time. Easter Conference time. This one, I think Easter Conference is a little bit easier. I think six out of seven spots is kind of locked up. It's that last wild card spot. Jaylen Brown. Jaylen Brown was a lock in my opinion. Third time. He was a lock in my opinion. Now, if you watched their game on TV two days ago, the way they were talking, this is against the Pacers. The way they was talking on that broadcast made it seem like the people knew that Derek White, who had got a little bit of buzz, was going to be an all-star. So we're going to see if the speculation has been right. But Jaylen Brown was a lock in my opinion. He's been really good this year, especially after the first like two, three weeks of the season. So that's a good one. That's good. From the Cleveland Cavaliers, Donovan Mitchell was a lock. So this is the Easter Conference. Again, it's just going to be a lot easier than the Western Conference. Donovan Mitchell has been phenomenal. The Cavs have been on a crazy hot streak, even without Evan Mobley and Dears Garland, who just came back. They were winning a bunch of basketball games. They beat my favorite team a couple of times in that run. And he has just been everything to spread offense with Jared Allen down low. It's been perfect. It's been perfect. He was a lock. From the New York Knicks, Jaylen Brunson. Jaylen Brunson absolutely locked. We all knew that too. So this is going pretty easily, pretty easily so far. Now, I do want to say that's two guards, right? Again, we don't know who's a wild card or whatever, but right now there's two guards. So let's assume that's it. And then we got a bunch of fours. So if you are, if you are Trey Young, you're praying that you're in on a wild card now because we got two guards. And because I think Jaylen Brown counted as a forward this year. From the Miami Heat, Bam. We knew Bam. Okay, okay. Bam on a bio was going to be the Miami Heat representative. That was pretty simple, pretty easy. Another guy that I thought was a lock. So we still got like Palo. We still got Maxi. We still got Scotty Barnes, Trey Young. From the New York Knicks, Julius Randall. Julius Randall for sure. He was a lock, but he's out. So we'll probably get an injury replacement. Tyrese Maxi. Tyrese Maxi. Okay. So again, these are going pretty, pretty normal out west. I mean, out east. Everything is going exactly as planned. Now I'm thinking about it. Joellen Bede and Julius Randall are probably going to have an injury replacement. So that's interesting. So guys like maybe if Scotty gets snub, Scotty is the replacement. Or if you know what I'm saying, maybe Scotty makes it. All right. I just don't think he will. It's only one spot left. I don't think he's going to make it, but he might make it on the back end. One spot left. Is it Palo Bankero? Is it Scotty? Is it Trey Young? What if DeMar ends up in here? What if DeMar ends up here? Okay, here we go. Here we go. Ernie. Palo Bankero. All right. So that's all of them, bro. That's every single All-Star this year. So no Trey Young. Kind of expected that. No Scotty Barnes kind of expected that. But again, we're going to have two injury replacements. And throughout history, injury replacements hadn't needed to be like, you're taking over for joy on the beat. That don't mean you have to be a forward. You know what I'm saying? So both of those players could potentially get in there. And I'm looking at the rest of the standings. It's not a lot of other candidates. It's like, yeah, you're going to have Trey Young. You're going to have Scotty Barnes. Nobody on the bulls deserve an All-Star, in my opinion. Nobody on the bottom three teams deserve an All-Star. So I feel as though those two players are going to get in on injury replacements, which is a dub. Unless those aren't the rules and it has to be two forwards to represent two forwards, then Trey Young is going to be out again. And then they might replace that forward with who? Who would be the next forward that deserves it? Because like poor Zengis has missed two months time, Jared Allen made his first All-Star game as an injury replacement. He has been crazy over the last two months. So maybe that's a world. But again, I feel pretty good about injury replacements being Trey Young and Scotty Barnes. Unless they do. I don't know. That was just just my opinion. I think that the coaches did a good job. I mean, at the end of the day, it's not, there's no like, Oh my God, All-Stars, you know, like even the Carthage Townsend, which was a surprise to me. I'm not mad at it because Kat has been having a phenomenal season. I think a lot of people kind of wanted to see it be divvied up a little bit more. So like the Kings are a playoff team with real legitimate All-Star talent on their roster with zero. Like the Pelicans not having an All-Star is not that big of a deal because both Brandon and Zion are having good seasons. They're not having All-Star level season. They just have like a really great group of guys. You know what I'm saying? Oh, maybe that's not true. I think Brandon's having an All-Star Calibur season, but you compare his season versus Kat, or you play even his season versus the Subbonuses or the Foxes. I don't think he matches up. But like Subbonus and Fox have real All-Star cases. And Subbonus has been, I don't know how to explain how really good he's been this regular season. So just a surprise there, but still not bad because Kat has been 50-40-90 on the best team in the Western Conference. So again, I think the coaches did a really solid job. I don't have any real complaints. You let me know in the comment section. I know King's fans are really, really upset. It's just, I guess the way it is right now.
