Kevin Durant didn’t score 54 points, but he did net 30 in a 108-93 win over the Sacramento Kings.

A reoccurring argument among NBA circles is the All-Star selection process. Should fans have all the say? Do coaches have enough power? Should the league ever intervene? Most importantly, who makes it and why. Does the best player on a bad team deserved to make it, or does a good player on a great team deserved to make it, I think it’s the latter.
