Player No. 3) Klay Thompson (749,038 All-Star votes)

I mean absolutely no disrespect towards Golden State Warriors guard, Klay Thompson, when I say this, but he is by no means deserving of an All-Star vote this season.

Everyone knows how dangerous and great Klay Thompson is, and that he has already proven to be better than Jaylen Brown throughout their careers, but this season he has played all of two games, and the fact that he has more votes than Brown is simply ludicrous.

It doesn’t mean much to compare stats because of the amount of games Brown has played this season in comparison to Thompson but technically, Brown is outplaying Thompson this season significantly.

JB has more points, steals, rebounds, and assists per game. He is also shooting significantly better than Klay.

So much for one of the greatest shooters of all time, huh?

Alright, with all jokes aside Brown has 530 thousand fewer votes than a player who has barely played this season. Because of the difference, I do not think Brown will catch up to that number but I would love it if he did because he deserves more votes than he has right now.
