The Cleveland Cavaliers have the best record in the Eastern Conference, and it’s not even close.
They also have the best record in the NBA.
As such, Kenny Atkinson will most likely get to coach in the All-Star Game.
But more than that, the team should also have at least four players in the festivities.
At least, that’s how Cavs forward Max Strus feels.
Speaking to the media, the former Miami Heat star said Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Jarrett Allen deserve the nod.
We have legitimately FOUR All-Stars.

He praised them for being ego-less stars and not asking for praise or anything in return; they just want to get the job done.
He also admitted that it’s unlikely that they will all get the nod for the big game, which doesn’t seem fair.
Notably, it wouldn’t be the first time a small market team sent four players to the All-Star Game.
Years ago, the Atlanta Hawks had Jeff Teague, Al Horford, Paul Millsap, and Kyle Korver, so there’s hope.
Perhaps their numbers aren’t as eye-popping as other players, and they’re not as popular as other big-name players, but they’ve played a better brand of basketball than anybody else in the league.
Only 24 players will get the nod to be All-Stars this season.
Maybe we will have a couple of injury replacements as well.
Hopefully, the fans and coaches will give the Cavs’ stars all the credit they’ve earned with their stellar play this season.
