Domantas Sabonis has to be an All-Star this year, right. RIGHT? I keep looking at all the bigs in the East and from my point of view, there’s NO WAY that he can be left off the team. But that’s me thinking that. I’m biased. If it were up to me Devonte’ Graham would be an All-Star. But there’s no way. Sabonis is beasting AND feasting so hard.
For what it’s worth, Zach Lowe put Sabonis on his All-Star roster, he agrees with me on this. We’re pretty much best buds ever since he quoted one of my video descriptions in a Grantland article, and he’s basically the only basketball writer that anyone respects anymore (besides me), so you know that adds some weight to things.
I’m just trying to reassure myself here. The second he plays in the All-Star game (or maybe gets announced as an All-Star…) is the second he’s off my channel for the foreseeable future. He can come back when he’s old and slow like his dad was, so it won’t be goodbye forever, but it will be a much-needed goodbye. He’s way too good. I’ve been threatening it for a while, but I like this dude so much that I’ve been kinda waffling. And there’s no provision in the official DTB bylaws that says I can’t make a bully-ball post-move-ilation for him when the season is over, even if he is disqualified from the nightly videos.
