Who got snubbed this year?

Last Thursday, TNT’s Inside the NBA revealed the official starters for the upcoming All-Star game, set to go down in just three weeks. While many felt a few snubs happened during the annual fan voting (as usual), the same can now be said for the coaches this season in selecting tonight’s reserves. Players who weren’t selected and given the title as the biggest snubs this season are: Damian Lillard, Demarcus Cousins and Kyle Korver.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were two of the surprise announcements to make the reserves not based on overall talent, but more so how they’re team isn’t playoff-seeded currently in the western conference. Kobe Bryant, who had season-ending shoulder surgery yesterday, is expected to be ruled out of the February showcase – which could enable the Portland Trailblazer star point guard on the roster next week.

Take a look at the entire list of reserves for both the East and West teams.
