On Thursday, the Eastern Conference starting lineup for the NBA All-Star Game was announced.
It's no real surprise that Celtics star Kyrie Irving was voted into the starting five. What was surprising, however, is the former Celtic that somehow received a vote.
Yes, Boston's former reserve guard Walt Lemon Jr. hilariously was voted by one of the players to be an All-Star Game starter. Lemon signed a two-way contract with the C's back in July, but never appeared in a game with the team. The 26-year-old currently plays for the Windy City Bulls, the Chicago Bulls' G League affiliate.
This just goes to show the risk involved in giving players the power to vote on All-Star Game starters. There always will be jokesters that spend a vote on the Walt Lemons of the world.
