Twitter unhappy with Joel Embiid’s All-Star Game snub

The NBA announced its reserves for East and West All-Star teams on Thursday night.

Rookie sensation Joel Embiid was not among the names that will be taking the court on Feb. 19 in New Orleans for the league’s showcase, and people are not happy about that decision.

Twitter, and Embiid himself, sounded off.

Once again the popular vote didn't matter......
