Bradley Beal not making the all-star game and Chris Paul making it over Devin Booker is a complete joke. I absolutely hate that the media and coaches for years have put way too much emphasis on team success narratives, that NBA "experts" create, and incredibly faulty advanced stats that those experts love to rely on.
