It is the first All-Star selection for Şengün, the 22-year-old center who over the last four seasons has helped to rebuild the Rockets into a playoff contender.

For the first time since the 2019-20 season (James Harden, Russell Westbrook), the Houston Rockets will be represented at this year’s All-Star Game.

However, when fans and media alike mention key parts of this Houston Rockets team, often an important name is left out. Who’s this key contributor some wonder? Well, the player I am refering to is none other than Houston Rockets center Steven Adams.
