L.A. Clippers guard Lou Williams called out Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jimmy Butler for not playing a single minute in Sunday night's All-Star Game.

The perennial All-Star claimed he did it for rest reasons, and it's no surprise he is, as the outright league-leader in minutes per game this season. Though for an All-Star snub like Williams, who is having the best season of his NBA career, the honor is one that he wishes he could have bestowed on him to showcase his talents in front of the home crowd.

While Williams was good-humored about this, many have wished to be in Butler's place and gotten the chance to see the floor along the regalia of All-Star talent surrounding the Staples Center on Sunday night.

Butler is putting up 22.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.9 steals per game, while Williams is putting up similar numbers with 23.2 points, 5.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game — having the best season in his 13th season in the league.

Butler has been named an All-Star for four straight seasons, and while he could likely spare not playing for one year, others like Williams, have dreamed the entire careers of being in his place.

The league is unable to allocate a replacement for a player who won't participate in the game, classified as a mere coach's decision in the game notes.

Be that as it may, coach Mike D'Antoni saw more minutes to allocate his Team Stephen All-Stars, giving each at least 18 minutes of playing time, except for the older Al Horford, who only played 13 minutes.
