Rudy Gobert has a suggestion for NBA Commissioner Adam Silver: If, at any point in the next couple of weeks, you find yourself searching for an All-Star, we’ve got an extra one right here in Utah.
While Gobert and Donovan Mitchell both relished the honor of their second All-Star selections on Tuesday, their celebrations were somewhat muted knowing their floor general, Mike Conley, was not named an All-Star with them.
“Obviously, we think that Mike should have been there,” Gobert said Wednesday.
Conley, 33, has been one of the league’s elite point guards for more than a decade, but has never been selected for the league’s midseason showcase.
