Warriors star Andrew Wiggins makes his first All-Star team

With popularity all on their side, LeBron James and Kevin Durant were announced as the All-Star captains yet again this season. As fans play a huge part, the Warriors fan base isn’t one to underestimate. They have two of their players in the starting line-up this season with Wiggins and Steph. However, Twitter was not happy with Wiggins coming up as a starter.

Wiggins is surely having his best year in the NBA so far. However, there were many big names that missed out on the All-Star starters. Phoenix’s hot hand, Devin Booker missed out along with former DPOY, Rudy Gobert. There is a chance some of these names don’t get selected altogether as the reserves will be out on February 3rd.
