There might not be an NBA All-Star Game<\/a> this season because of COVID-19 restrictions. Whether or not it\u2019s played, Knicks forward Julius Randle hopes to be named to the squad for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n

Randle is averaging career bests in scoring (22.4 points per game), rebounds (11.4) and assists (6.3) through the Knicks\u2019 8-8 start, after coming within one assist of his second trip<\/a>le-double of the season in Thursday\u2019s 119-104 win over the Warriors in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always strive to be the best version of who you are. You set goals and stuff like that. It\u2019s obviously something that I want, obviously. But it\u2019s not something that I\u2019m focusing on,\u201d said Randle, who finished with 16 points, 17 rebounds and nine assists. \u201cI\u2019m really just focusing on this team, getting lost in the team, trying to figure out the best way, every night, to be the best version of myself and to give my team a chance to win and do everything I can to be prepared to give our team a chance to win on a night to night basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose things come along with it. Year to year, I try to get better, put myself in position to be the best version of me so obviously the recognition is great \u2026 but I still feel like I have a long way to go and a lot that I can improve on.\u201d<\/p>\n
