Norman Powell talked about his prospects for being selected as an All-Star this season in an exclusive interview with Essentially Sports.

Powell said: "As in previous years, I want to be an All-Star. I also believe that I am an All-Star. I tell myself this every day. I just want to go on the court to prove it. But I don't need to force anything. I know that I have put in enough effort. Over the past 11 seasons, I have been preparing for such a moment and making sacrifices. Now I have to go on the field, believe in my own efforts, believe in all the efforts, and keep my mind stable and emotionally balanced."
