The Ringer
About this episode

Justin, Rob, and Wos join together to make their All-Star picks and debate their individual ballots with one another. They start with the East and debate a myriad of different topics including who is worthy of the final starting guard spot, whether or not Scottie Barnes should be an All-Star, and which Celtics are the most deserving of a selection (5:35). Then, they shift to the West where they celebrate Kawhi Leonard’s impressive season, debate if Rudy Gobert should be an All-Star, and discuss who should earn the final wild card spot for the reserves (35:43).
