Despite putting up All-Star numbers and leading the Phoenix Suns to an impressive 20-10 record, Devin Booker was once again snubbed in the All-Star Game

After the NBA announced the 14 reserves for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game on Tuesday, February 23 (Wednesday, February 24, Manila time), Los Angeles Lakers superstar and All-Star team captain LeBron James voiced his frustration on Twitter after Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was left out of the roster.

“Devin Booker is the most disrespected player in our league!!! Simple as that,” wrote James.

Despite putting up All-Star numbers of 24.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists to lead the Suns to an impressive 20-10 record, the 24-year-old Booker was once again snubbed in the annual All-Star Game.

Last season, Booker suited up for Team LeBron in the All-Star Game, but was only selected as a late injury replacement for Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard.

Booker had 6 points and 4 rebounds in 19 minutes of action in Team LeBron’s 157-155 victory over Team Giannis.

Next to Booker, the four-time league MVP James feels that Lillard is the second most disrespected player in the NBA.

Lillard, who is currently averaging 29.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists, was only selected as a reserve and not a starter for the upcoming All-Star Game on March 7 in Atlanta. – Rappler.com
