Bam Adebayo: 2019-20 NBA All-Star? That is the question I am posing right now. I don’t know the answer, no one knows the answer*, because the rosters for the All-Star game haven’t been decided yet. The point of the question is not to know the answer. The point of the question is to think about what the answer could be in the future.
*If someone else besides me has a time machine, it is possible that they would know the answer to the question of Adebayo being an All-Star this year. However, I am not aware of anyone else on earth who has a functioning time machine, and I am very active in the hobbyist time machine community, so I would know. And no, they don’t know that I have one. They would NEVER stop asking to use it if they found out. And no, I’m not about to bust it out just to check out the All-Star game rosters. I promised myself I would never use it again, not after what happened… Jennifer…
Besides, that would ruin the fun of speculating about it! If there’s one thing that NBA fans like to do, it’s speculate, and if there’s another thing they like to do, it’s compare players to other players to try and figure out which one is better. No other sport has the spirited GOAT debates that I can tell.
In my opinion, Adebayo is playing like an All-Star. I’m too lazy to think about all the other bigs in the East who might take his spot, but just off the top of my head, there aren’t very many who are clearly playing at a higher level than he is right now. Pascal Siakam, but he’s injured. Joel Embiid, but he’s injured. And after that? A bunch of nothing. Yup, Adebayo’s an All-Star.
