"I think I definitely have made the case. I learned last year to not get caught up in whether I make it or not. I want to make it. I think I deserve to make it. My peers around the league, after games, are telling me I am an All-Star. Hopefully, it happens for me this year. The goal out there is to win and showcase all my hard work and leave it up to the fans, coaches that make those decisions."

Norman Powell has provided a significant offensive boost for the Miami Heat, leading the team through 36 games with 24.4 points per game. He scored 34 points and hit a career-high nine 3-pointers against the New Orleans Pelicans. Powell says he has earned All-Star consideration and reports peers call him an All-Star, while emphasizing team success as the goal. He ranks eighth in scoring and 3-point makes (3.1), fifth in true shooting percentage (63.9), and 11th in 3-point percentage (42.1) among East players with at least 25 games. Fan, media, player, and coach voting will determine final All-Star selections.
