KD is pushing for Ty Lawson to join him in the All-Star game.
Per the Oklahoman:
“We been through a lot together, man,’ Durant said. ‘Been up through everything together as friends.’ So it’s not surprising that, when given the platform at Tuesday’s shootaround, the Thunder star served as the spokesman for the Nuggets guard’s All-Star campaign. ‘He should be (an All-Star), in my opinion,’ Durant said, later explaining: ‘He’s not one of those sexy names like Russell Westbrook or Stephen Curry. He just started to become one of those guys you depend on as a point guard. He was behind Chauncey (Billups) his first few years, and he’s eased his way into the starting lineup. Now he’s turned into a star. So, give it a few more games and you’ll start hearing Ty Lawson’s name all the time because he’s having a great season.’”
He has the potential to be a future All-Star, but not any time soon with Westbrook, Curry, and Paul still at the top of the PG tier in the West.
