“NBA Doesn’t Care About All-Star Voting”: James Harden Makes Fans Believe ‘Accolades Don’t Matter’ After Huge Snub

The NBA All-Star weekend is just around the corner and the starters and the reserve team roster are already out. One huge fan favorite is missing from the All-Star roster and it is none other than James Harden. The Philadelphia 76ers superstar has had a decent season so far and is averaging a double-double in points and assists. However, he is nowhere to be seen near the All-Star lineup which will surely frustrate Harden as his efforts are going unnoticed.

NBA fans have made their voices heard. Fans on Twitter have rallied behind the former MVP and are calling out the All-Star panel for leaving him out.

With Harden’s snubbing, fans on Twitter have come in numbers to support the 76ers star. Here’s what NBA fans had to say.

James Harden’s 10-year streak of making it to the All-Star game is all but broken. After this devastating news, he took to Instagram and posted, “The disrespect” on his story.

Joel Embiid was quick to take a stance for his teammate. He wrote on Twitter, “Ya’ll got some explaining to do” which drew mixed responses from the fans. It seems Embiid and Harden share great chemistry both on and off the court. This season, Embiid averages 33.5 points while Harden averages 21.4 points. The two certainly have what it takes to lead the 76ers to the title this season.
