text: The Miami Heat hold the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. But that wasn’t enough to get Goran Dragic (or anyone else on the Heat) on the All-Star team, as the NBA announced the reserves today.
  The East reserves, as I've been told…
  Kyle Lowry, Bradley Beal, John Wall, Kevin Love, Kristaps Porzingis, Victor Oladipo, Al Horford

  Heat not just only team among top top 8 in Eastern Conference without an All-Star, but also only team in top 15 in NBA without one.

  Out of anyone on the Heat, Dragic stood the best chance of making the All-Star team. Hassan Whiteside had missed too many games. Dragic commented on the snub on his Twitter account, noting that he can vacation in Miami over All-Star weekend.

  The All-Star Game itself is meaningless, but fans and pundits bring up All-Star selections when debating NBA players. Although Dragic has made the All-NBA Third Team, he’s never made an All-Star team. Leading a band of, as Zach Lowe put it, “good, B-plus NBA players” to a home-court advantage playoff seeding despite a plethora of injuries presented a pretty strong case. Apparently for the voters, statistics matter more than winning.
