New York Knicks finally have an All-Star: Julius Randle named to East’s reserves

The New York Knicks’ road to respectability got a much needed shot in the arm after Julius Randle got his first All-Star nod.

Randle, the leader of the Knicks’ resurgence this season, was among the seven reserves voted by the coaches, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

“It would mean a lot,” Randle said of the All-Star selection via zoom call with reporters after the Knicks’ shootaround on Tuesday morning.

“My goal was never just to play in the NBA. I always felt that I would get there. I just wanted to be the best player I could possibly be and reach my potential.
