NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith believes Spurs star Victor Wembanyama should've been an All-Star starter over Suns star Kevin Durant.

Wemby's ability to dominate both ends of the floor is something only three or four players are capable of right now.

Spurs fans are disappointed that Victor Wembanyama wasn't voted in as a starter for the NBA All-Star Game over LeBron James or Kevin Durant.

Named a Western Conference reserve, Victor Wembanyama is the San Antonio Spurs' first All-Star representative since 2022.

The star Spurs center becomes the first San Antonio player since Dejounte Murray in 2021-2022 to make the All-Star squad.

The 7-foot-3 generational talent will be joined by fellow first-timers Alperen Sengun of the Houston Rockets and Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West, as well as East new faces Evan Mobley from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Cade Cunningham from the Detroit Pistons, and Tyler Herro from the Miami Heat.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.

The Spurs' Victor Wembanyama and the Rockets' Alperen Sengun were among six first-timers named to the NBA All-Star Game on Thursday, when the league announced the reserves.
