I guess because he plays for Sacramento. If he had played for the Lakers or the Celtics, not only wouldn't he have been an All-Star, but also a real MVP contender.
Crazy that with those numbers he’s still unselfish and does the teamplay most of the time. Most of his points are earned after rebounds or 1v1 play. Assists which are turning to 3’s.That understanding of teammates and reading gameplay for a big man is stunning. Sabas 💪🇱🇹
Sabonis 9 triple doubles in the last 13 games, 13 triple doubles in the last 23 games. Leads the league in rebounds double doubles and triple doubles. 22/14/10 68%fg in the last 30 games and not even an all star 🤣🤣. Racism is huge in the NBA.
You had me until you blamed it on Race smh. The clippers and Timberwolves have better records and unfortunately that’s how the coaches like to pick it sometimes.
like there is a debate? lol zion should have been a superior version of prime shaq but he got injuried, so its down to sabonses and wembangayma@@kpcart
Not a Kings fan, but those are assists. I saw that he was #1 in triple doubles this season on statmuse, so i was curious to see a highlight of the guy. Now, you can maybe argue that most of these assists aren't as spectacular as the ones we usually see from the likes of Doncic or Jokic. (Or NBA legend Magic Johnson comes to mind). But they're still assists. He's very good at rebounding. He and Fox are a great duo but they need to change their roster. Because no matter how efficient they are, basketball is not a two player game...The rest of the team is just not good enough. If we're going to bitch about how Sabonis gets his triple doubles, we might as well do the same for Westbrook. The guy has 198 triple doubles. But the vast majority of his triple doubles are "uncontested rebounds". His teammates used to let him statpad like crazy, letting him get rebounds he wasn't supposed to take. Many of his assists were forced. Now he has way more problems and difficulties putting up insane stats ever since he changed teams.
Agreed. All these comments don't understand, Sabonis is the focal person DHO while in most other teams, it is not the case. It's the Westbrook statpadding situation again. Handoffs, unlike passes, do not create a a lot of opportunity to score off the assist. Boxscore watches should watch the game instead.

So how exactly isn't this guy an all-star??? Dude's a monster player! What a load of bollocks..
He should’ve been an allstar instead of Scottie Barnes. But the raptors definitely had more push than the Kings
@@SuaveSkii different conferences man

cause lebrold got picked for unknown reasons
@@djaxe32 You're probably right. Disgusting, really.

Top 5 big in league now obviously 🔥🔥🔥
36 consecutive double double games 17 of which have been triple double games. As of 02-14-24
I love this guy. Such a joy to watch. He definitely travelled on that stutter step layup, but I guess that's just how the game is played today.
He's what jokic was in 2019. Great player, very underappreciated. The league will realise how good he is soon enough!
Sabonis is easily top 10 NBA player, even top 5 by efficiency.
Laughing emoji isn't an argument. @@syncretictakeout2842
@EazyAhworukuh what an idiot.
AD is worse
@EazyAhworukuh I don't tell you, ESPN are. He's #7. Embiid, Doncic, Jokic, Giannis, SGA, Anthony Davis, SABONIS. Here ya go
Fox is NOT better this year, dame is not better this year, derozen!??!?!?! GTFO hoe.@EazyAhworukuh
He is not even an all-star! It's a shame!
Thats whats happen when only fans get voted
Its called racism
@@onlyfacts3178boi if u dont
@@onlyfacts3178come on now😂😂😂
@@onlyfacts3178How?
Underrated
Insanely so.
Sabonis is Mad
what was he mad about
@@teemurphy-tg4iqThe kings lost today..
Sabonis should've been in over AD. How do the Lakers get two all stars, and the Kings no get even 1.
He needs more recognition from the NBA & media
Europeans are usually not very flashy players, so they go unnoticed by some Americans, there is a few exceptions tough
Sabonis 9 triple doubles in the last 13 games, 13 triple doubles in the last 23 games.

Deearon Fox didn't make it either...
I love his game so much
Man they need a 15-man roster for the all-star game. Sabonis all-nba 2nd team at least
Wat a beast!!
Another Sabonis master class wasted. What is this team even doing
His face on the cover looks like his dads
yh it really does lol
All NBa!
His skin isn't ⭐ level
second greatest big man in history, behind wembangayma
ok old man
like there is a debate? lol

You can't sleep because you thinking about it all time? Does writing comments on that matter work as a therapy?
He is letting all those who did not vote him All Star, that they were All Wrong.
I think this says you gotta just take out the fan voting in all star how is not in it doin this every night he has more trip dubs that jokic
reminds me of Detlef Schrempf
So as long as you make a pass it's an assist. Before if you oassed and the guy you passed to dribbled more than 1 time it's no longer an assist.
European z bo !
Don’t let the numbers fool you, nearly all his assists are not passes but DHO handoffs…
which is err... an assist. welcome to first grade basketball.

Still making more than Giannis and Embiid who rarely have a real assit
this applies to the entire NBA, to all players. This is how statistics are calculated
