Players take All-Star snubs personally, and Andre Drummond is no different. We know as much because of the tweets he fired off admitting his displeasure for not being recognized.

He threatened to start doing backflips (which, by the way, isn’t a terrible idea).

Guess I gotta start doing back flips after every point I score to get attention around here!



Lmao on to the next — Andre Drummond (@AndreDrummond) January 24, 2018

So how’d he respond? Not with backflips, but by doing something no other player in the league has done since at least 1983. The Pistons lost, but Drummond had 30 points, 24 rebounds, six blocks, four assists and three steals against the Jazz in 39 minutes. Even if you take away the qualifier of steals, only Bob Lanier has had a similar stat line to Drummond since 1963 and he had to play 47 minutes to get it.

Let’s say we take away the assists and steals qualifiers from Drummond’s stat line. Only Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan and Hakeem Olajuwon have had at least 30 points, 24 rebounds and six steals in a game. The Pistons may have lost, but this was a All-Star effort from Drummond. It’s his second career 30-point, 20-rebound game.

The fact that the Pistons lost this game is exactly the reason Drummond didn’t make the All-Star game, though he probably deserved to. He was second on our snubs list and may have moved himself into first with this effort. The question is, who do you take out? John Wall? Al Horford? Kristaps Porzingis? I have no clue and, honestly, it’s not a decision I’d want to make.

But if you didn’t think Drummond deserved to be included before, I’m sure you do now. If you don’t, you probably just have beef with the Pistons — which is totally understandable.

That said, Drummond’s stat line unfortunately came in a losing effort — not nearly Detroit’s best.
