"Snub" is a difficult word when it comes to the NBA's All-Star teams. There are only 12 spots in each conference, but far more than 24 players deserve the recognition.
It's hard to make the argument that one player should have been selected without also saying another player should be left off. Looking at this year's starters and reserves—the latter group was announced Tuesday on TNT—you're hard-pressed to find anyone on the list who shouldn't be there.
With that said, there are a few players in each conference who legitimately deserved it.
Some of them may sneak in as injury replacements. Anthony Davis isn't expected to be healthy in time for the March 7 showcase, so there will be at least one spot open. Some are up-and-coming young stars who should become All-Star fixtures in due time, but a few are on the back end of their careers and may not have many more opportunities.
