Norman Powell talked to ClutchPoints in an exclusive interview about a potential All-Star appearance. He said that he believes he's done enough to make the All-Star game this year.

"I think I've been playing at an All-Star level all season," Powell told ClutchPoints. "Honestly, I don't like talking about myself, but I mean, numbers don't lie on where I'm at, what I'm averaging, what I'm doing across the board, and then the efficiency that I'm playing with."

"I see myself as an All-Star, I want to be an All-Star, and I think I am," Powell added.

He explained why he wanted to become an All-Star so much, recalling seeing his former teammate duo receive their All-Star jerseys in Toronto.

"I think it's just another level. It's another level that I want to get to, it's another level I've always seen myself at," Clippers swingman said.

"I want to know, be in that moment when your name's getting called, I watched DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry get their names called at home and go to the middle of the court and accept their All-Star jersey. I've always wanted that. I've always looked at that and said, ‘I can be that. I can get to that moment.' It's something that I've been chasing and seen myself at, so hopefully it happens," he said.

Powell is averaging 23.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this season. He's leading the Clippers in scoring this season and helped them reach 26 wins so far, which is a good sixth spot in the West.
