Three reasons why Zaza Pachulia should be an All-Star
To troll the Internet
Since June 19, everyone with a Twitter account has tweeted something about a 3-1 lead. Whenever any kind of big event happens, there’s some troll there to remind you that the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals. Sometimes, these trolls add a little more and include the fact that they had the first unanimous MVP in NBA history.
Everytime Bleacher Report tweets, there’s someone tweeting “3-1.” LeBron James has made sure no one forgets it. It’s one of the biggest pop culture phenomena. Cleveland loves to remind everyone that their championship didn’t happen because they won, but rather another team lost.
Why not troll the Internet jokesters right back? After the summer of 3-1, flooding Twitter with “Zaza Pachulia #NBAVote” would be hilarious. More exposure for Golden State players would make their growing number of haters angry.
Warriors fans are getting extremely creative with their votes.
Golden State fans and Georgians are making strong pushes to get Pachulia in. They’re doing it without the “official” help of the Warriors. The organization is only promoting the “Core Four” of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Durant.
Pachulia’s campaign is extremely organic. His people from his home country are doing their best to get their star into the All-Star Game. Warriors fans gain power through the rest of the league’s complaints and displeasure and are trying to get him in.
He’s not one of the best centers in basketball. If we consider the All-Star Game a competition of the best players, he doesn’t belong there. But the All-Star Game is about fun and having him in there would be a lot of fun.
Pachulia needs to be voted in because it’s the ultimate troll job. It’s a fanbase fighting petty with petty.
