What's up with Gobert? So he got snubbed on the all-star voting. Big deal. He's got plenty of time/years ahead of him to make the team without looking like a panywaist, apron string, momma's boy, sissy.....and break down in tears! Just keep improving, which he has been doing, and his time will come! Actually, since the Jazz play such a team oriented style of basketball, it's harder to "stand out" as a top rated all-star like the other "one on one" "me first" ball players that the league is littered with these days! Would you rather be an "all-star" or keep your team moving up in the standings and in the playoffs? All-Star selections are generally a popularity contest anyway....and don't amount to a hill of beans to begin with! I'd rather see the Jazz go 60-20 and Gobert NOT be selected to the all-star team, than they go 50-30 and he make the all-star team! I'm sure more than half the GM's would pick Gobert for there team than half the all-stars that did get elected!
