In unsurprising news, Warriors star Steph Curry was selected to the 2021 NBA All-Star team as a starter.
What about the rest of the team? Yep -- even Klay Thompson got some love.
Kelly Oubre Jr. received three player votes and 216,470 fans votes. Damion Lee earned two player votes with 37,456 votes from the fans. Draymond Green got eight player votes and 424,869 fan votes. Andrew Wiggins received eight votes from players and 771,737 fan votes.

Wiggins is averaging 17.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game this season and has been an imperative part of the Warriors’ defense.

That would earn a vote from me.

Naturally, the names of LeBron James (who was named a starter and captain) and Kawhi Leonard were among the top of the list of All-Star selections, but it was nice to see some love shown for the Warriors' role players.
