The top 5 snubs from the 2022 NBA All-Star Teams: 2. Jarrett Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers have (subjectively) been the most surprising team in the entire league this year. And luckily for them, it’s been for all the right reasons.

Not only is the game in Cleveland this year, but they actually have an All-Star in Darius Garland! But they should have had two of them in the game.

Jarrett Allen is averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 67.8 percent from the field. He’s been nothing short of amazing this year.

The big-man duo of Allen and Evan Mobley has been great for the Cavs, and Allen has the better statline. He deserved to be on the team this year.

The top 5 snubs from the 2022 NBA All-Star Teams: 1. LaMelo Ball, Charlotte Hornets

This is who was being referenced when talking about how Miles Bridges wasn’t the biggest snub on the Hornets. That title goes to LaMelo Ball.

The fact that the Charlotte Hornets don’t have any players on the team makes it feel all the more disrespectful, but Ball deserved a spot on the team regardless.

Ball is averaging 19.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists while shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 35.8 percent from behind the three-point arc.

Charlotte has been good enough this year that they certainly deserved to have a representative at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. Ball not being there is a crime.
