Totally earned it, but still probably the most boring unwatchable All-Star on the team though.

Congrats Al !! We got 2 well deserved all-star Celtics this year!


It would be funny if Al and Kyrie end up on opposite sides in the actual game with the new format.

Should have been a starter over embiid.

BIG AL!!!  8)  ;D

Well deserved, and very underrated IMO (yes he's had an ordinary stretch lately, but overall he's a big reason we're the 1 seed and have progressed a ton the last 1.5 years).

Congrats, Big Al!

Can’t stand the Player’s Only episodes. For being ex-players, their BBIQ is astounding low. Al is legitimately just as important as Kyrie to Boston's performance.

EDIT: I even think Al was the highest vote-getter for the reserves!

EDIT EDIT: Just to highlight Shaq’s and Webber’s ignorance, they complained about Al being the second Boston All-Star due to our record, but they didn’t say crap about Green being the 4th GS All-Star when he had comparable stats on much lower percentages and advanced stats 🙄
