The NBA All-Star Game is approaching, and now everyone who has made the list has something to add to their All-Star selection.
The custom NBA All-Star player emojis, ranked
Some are good, some are literally just numbers.
EMOJIS!
Some look way better than others. Let’s rank ‘em shall we?
First, we’ll get rid of the boring ones.
Tied-Worst: All the numbers and letters.
Sorry Paul Millsap and Kemba Walker.
Carmelo Anthony has his own emoji app, so when you compare this to his other emojis this is a letdown.
Kevin Durant falls in this category also. Yes, it gets the job done, but it’s not the flashiest emoji in the bunch.
Not the worst, but like ... eh: The Faces.
It’s not your fault Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Gordon Hayward, and DeAndre Jordan.
Giannis Antetokounmpo gets a pass here.
The weird.
Why is Marc Gasol’s emoji just the Grizzlies logo with a headband?
Why is Jimmy Butler’s emoji a paint can ... oh it’s a bucket. Carry on.
On to the list.
14. Isaiah Thomas
*Yawns & shrugs*
At least it’s not just the number.
13. PG-13
You have to do that emoji. You don’t have a choice really. It’s a layup.
12. Russell Westbrook
The only reason why it’s on the list is because there is a lightning bolt on the zero. Other than that, there isn’t much here.
11. Draymond Green
At least it’s him doing a signature move. It would be funnier if he was doing another certain signature move, but this is cool too.
10. Kyrie Irving
Can we file that under consideration as the new NBA logo? Please?
9. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Swag.
8. LeBron James
Well duh. A number on the throne would have been cool though.
7. DeMarcus Cousins
Get it? Because BOOgie. Admit it, you chuckled.
6. Steph Curry
Would have liked to see a spatula but that’s just being picky. It’s a cool emoji.
5. John Wall
It’s cool and accurate. Best of both worlds.
4. Anthony Davis
It really could have just been the brow. On second thought, people might think it was a mustache.
3. Kawhi Leonard
Even in emoji form he’s playing defense. That’s superb work ethic.
2. Klay Thompson
Rocco is a good dog. This is a good emoji.
1. James Harden
This emoji is cold. Plain and simple.
