       The All Star game has been around for 70 years.   Each year fans get to vote for their favorite players and the winners are allowed to play in the All Star game.  This year the players with the most votes get to start the game. The fans messed up.  For absolutely no reason Damian Lillard was outvoted by Luka Donic and Steph (air ball) Curry.  Luka Donic even admitted that Lillard should start instead of him.   Multiple sports reporters got mad about Logo Lillard not getting picked.  Recently Steph (air ball) Curry got hurt before his Charlotte game which might give Lillard the starting role in the All Star game.  Hopefully, Steph isn't too badly hurt, however Blazer fans wouldn’t mind if he missed the All Star game.
