The NBA announced its list of 14 All-Star reserves for this year's game in Atlanta on March 7. There were perhaps more deserving candidates this year than ever before, which means there were plenty of worthy candidates left out.
This year's snubs could make a solid argument that the NBA should expand its All-Star teams to at least 13 players from each conference — the number of active players in each team's lineup — and maybe even to a 15-man roster. That would throw a wrench into the league's historical context, and even at 15 there would be players on the bubble.
