Spencer Dinwiddie points out why All-Star nod for him would be big for NBA

If Kobe Bryant’s comments about Spencer Dinwiddie weren’t enough, the Nets guard pointed out another reason he should be an All-Star.

The NBA All-Star voting polls opened up right before the first game on Christmas. Fans can participate until noon on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Since the Nets didn’t have a game on the holiday and Brooklyn’s next contest is at Barclays Center against the New York Knicks on Thursday, players were able to weigh in on everything happening throughout the holiday.

With the All-Star polls opening up, Spencer Dinwiddie decided it was the optimal time to point out a significant fact on Twitter that some fans might be unaware of:

I know [Milwaukee Bucks wing] Khris [Middleton] was the first All-Star to ever be a g league alumni. But would Dinwiddie #NBAVote be the first All-Star ever actually under contract as a G League player not just an assignment?

It’s about time he started campaigning for himself — to compliment his All-star level play — and not others.
