I'm in guys, I have already voted for Alex Caruso. I agree with all the good words that you've said about him. He should be included in the upcoming all-star game.
He's underrated but his contribution even on the last season made the Lakers become the champ is noticeable.
~
Yep, its not impressive but true basketball fans wont really be looking on that one but instead of the contribution and effectiveness of said role that he do plays
when he's in the court.I do really agree that this guy is underrated.When he tend to step to the court then you would really able to notice it out on how
he do make out those crucial clutch shots and majority of people do really just ignore that kind of contribution, they do just focus out more
on common all star player but its not bad on looking to  those whose underrated.

With the limited minutes he played in the court, it's just normal to have that average this season, what matters is the impact of his contribution to the team, he step up whenever necessary and that's how people respected him for that, he would not be in the top 10 if he is not valuable, all star are usually for valuable players in a team.

As per mentioned;
The Lakers once viewed Caruso as their secret weapon. Now, there’s no hiding how valuable he’s been to the team

His two year contract will expire.Is there any chance for some raise?  Cool

Hey guys, did you see the last game between Golden State Warriors and Oorlando Magic? what the hell.... Stephen curry got x10 3 point basket lol
Steph deserves to win MVP this year despite his team’s seeding, what a wonderful player! Nice to see he is on fire, lovely game!
That's normal for him. He's been known to be a good shooter. That's why GSW became popular and strong a few years ago, it's because of his shooting skills together with Klay Thompson.

They're becoming better this season.

I think what's not normal though is that he started to fire 3's the first moment he touches the ball in the first quarter. It seems that he has a mission to win this game very badly for his team, or he wants to hit as many 3's as he can because he wants to get closer to that Ray Allen record. They are in a 2 game winning streak, number 8 in the Western Conference, very tight spot. So he really need to wax hot to bring and have at least a breathing room for the last spot.

Curry needs to proved to Ray Allen that he was wrong.

Allen statement doesn't seem to make Curry happy. Grin
“Stephen Curry is not the greatest shooter ever”: Ray Allen snubs Warriors star as ‘GOAT’ 3 point shooter, reveals his controversial pick

And not only on Allen but for everyone who still have doubts as he will surely get into the number 1.

He is not a type of player that can score big time in a game, his contribution is more on "when the team needs to some offense and defense"

If you look at this stats this season and even in the past, his PPG is not that impressive.

Alex Caruso deserves the all star voting and NBA fans should admit that this guy is the engine behind the Lakers team. This guy enters and delivers all the time in both defense and offense with making important plays and when the team needs him most , he makes 3 points clutch shots that most of the players cannot do. Look at PG per example , can he deliver a clutch 3 point ? I doubt it.

So yea, Caruso will have my vote this year.



I did not vote for him but I'm surprise that he is already in the top 10 according to @OgNasty.

This guy just came out of nowhere from a regular player into an all star, I like his contribution with the Lakers and I like how LBJ trusted him during clutch times. I'm excited to see what he can give during the all star game, keep voting, mine, I'm done and I regret I did not put him in my list, just for a change though.  Smiley

^I don't know man, I mean I like that fans do favorite certain players even if they are not superstars on the court, but seriously? Alex Caruso? Dude is averaging 5.5 points 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1 steal per game. Sure he has a high motor and he works very hard and you can see that he gives 100% every time he is on the court but that is even sadder, dude gives 100% every time he is on the floor and these are the stats he gets.

I am not saying stats are the only thing we should check during voting, that is absurd, of course not, look at Westbrook, dude is 20 points per game but I wouldn't dream about giving him a vote, but when we are not looking at stats mainly, we should at least consider it just a slight bit and not make a 5.5 ppg guy an allstar. He is just not in my list, I will probably not want to see him but someone who is more of a star to play in the game.

Alex Caruso is back in the top 10 again in all star voting! Get your votes in for him! I would absolutely love to see this guy make the all star game. He deserves to be known nationally and most casual fans have no idea who he is.

I just hope Klay could play again with Steph. He's been present at some of the team's games but he can't get on the court because he's still in his rehab. It is just sad to see him as a reporter and how he's been applauding his teammates in that seat. 

We all know Steph, he will keep on firing those threes until his brother comes back in the court with the team. I am also hyped when he comes back, that would be really amazing. GSW would start another rain of threes, they are even doing it without Klay, just imagine Klay being there with Steph.

Yeaaah man, that's what all the people are waiting for but we have to wait until next season. Klay Thompson suffered a torn right Achilles tendon during a workout, so he won’t be back at any point this season, but there’s hope he will be back when the Warriors start their next regular season 2021-2022. We miss him so much ...

There's no surprise with Curry since he is the best 3 point shooter in the NBA now, but that 10 3s in a game, it seems like everything is so easy for him now and he has really improve with his shooting. I think he will easily win the 3 point shooting contest if there's an all star this month.
Yeah, Curry has a great performance this season, and I guess that sometimes he is playing even better than he played before the injury.
Have they already announced the list of participants for the upcoming three-point contest?

NBA All-Star update, the plan is to make all events happen on a single night. The dunk contest is planned to insert during half-time.

I don't get it, why they don't just hold the Dunk Contest on a separate schedule on that day instead. No difference at all.
More like they really are into a fast pace approach these days considering they plan to have the next 2021-22 season same as it was in the past. I think that's still a good one I'm just hoping that this time we will see a good looking performance from the players especially those who might be on the list of the dunk contest. If this was the final decision of the NBA committee then we just have to accept it.

The players are crying about having to be away from their family, which I'm not sure why this year that's suddenly a problem.  This seems like a way to try and make them happy, that they only need to spend a single day away from their families.  I feel for these athletes and the ridiculous requirements they have to meet to play these days, but some of the guys complaining are making over 40 million dollars per year.  That's almost a million dollars per week, and they still complain about having to attend an all star weekend that is supposed to be filled with fun and lasting memories for fans.  There's too much money out there...  People are forgetting why they started doing things in the first place.

It will surely get a lot of money from them since they want this All-Star weekend to be with their family even though having a great show full of great basketball players. Its not really their fault but the situation is really hard to do and consider since the threat of the Corona Virus is still imminent. The Dunk contest should really be rescheduled or the players should commit to a very very long day in which they will really follow the strict schedule so that the All Star Weekend is worth it.

For me, I would not complain anymore, I understand the situation, what's important is there will be an all star game this season and we will witness it soon. All star weekend also gives the teams some break after it, and they deserve that after all these hardwork just to entertain us despite of the pandemic.

Why would you give up so early?

The regular season is not yet over, if GSW will reach tot he playoffs, they also have a chance to upset a team with higher standings.
Just be optimistic man, GSW are doing everything to improve this season so let's support them.

Look at the standing, they are at the number 8 already, https://www.nba.com/standings

That's true man, we should not give up yet but you can see that on Stephen's face, he is not happy, it is not the showtime season. I really hope they can reach the playoffs and they do a great job there but when I see the Stephen's face playing, I don't know if it is me or what, but he looks sad this season. Anyways I agree with you on we must keep fighting till the end.

That's true but as you know, Stephen Curry is not the same player since we have not Klay Thompson anymore (in this season I mean). Klay was a fundamental pilar for their game show and he can not be replaced for any other player. I am a big Golden State Warrior supporter and this is not our year, let's wish a better performance for the next matches ;/ If Stephen keeps this level, who knows....
