I will never forgive the NBA for not making Arron Afflalo an All-Star during the 2013-14 season. Never. Ever. He was averaging like 20 points a game! You knew, they knew, he knew, his mom knew, everybody knew that he was never going to approach that kind of production ever again. Thanks to the cruel machinations of NBA (and the roid-monster Dwyane Wade), Afflalo will retire a n All-Star-Game-less man, his career missing the one accolade that was actually in reach.
I mean, DeMar DeRozan was not All-Star quality that year. Well, maybe he was, so what? I find Arron’s name alliteration way more attractive than stupid DeMar. Joe Johnson’s alliteration also sucks more than Arron’s, AND he had a horrible non-All-Star quality statline that year, yet, somehow, he got the nod. I swear, it was a concerted effort by the powers that be to screw over Arron and his legions of fans. There is no other explanation.
