Kyle Lowry is an All-Star for the fourth time, which comes as a surprise to absolutely no one. It could be merely the recognition due to both Lowry and DeMar DeRozan finally getting around the league (or it could have been potential bribery?), but somehow or another, the duo ended up on Team Steph for the 2018 All-Star game.
What is surprising, however, is that a bench for the team currently sitting second in the Eastern Conference, and so rich in diversity, could be completely snubbed from the Rising Stars game at All-Star Weekend.
