Looks like Larry Nance Jr. will be the first "legacy contestant" in the slam dunk competition.

Harden with a sick play.
Manu wasnt even in his vicinity and got called for a foul. Then the little **** does a dance.

I would enjoy seeing someone rip out his beard hair by hair.

Blake looked good in his Pistons debut.

True. Just saw some highlights.....they gave up a lot to get him but Jackson, Drummond, and BG could be a really good trio in the EC if Jackson and BG can stay healthy.

The Pistons could make it as high as a 4-5 seed in the EC with the Wizards losing Wall for a few months......they are only 4.5 games behind the Wizards at the 5th seed.

The guy is a great talent but I just can't stand him. I don't hate him the way LeBron haters do, but he just bugs me.

So Buddy is tied for 11th in 3pt% yet can't make the 3pt shooting contest? His % is higher than 7 of the 8 contestants. Maybe it's because he hasn't made(or attempted) as many 3's as the guys who get in. I'm not surprised NBA, just disappointed.

Oladipo, Gordon, Nance, and Dennis Smith Jr has potential to be one hell of a good dunk contest

Nuance is a power dunker.

How is he creatively?

I would have preferred Donovan Mitchell.

Gordon and three midgets would have been great.

But, hopefully Nance will surprise me.

Seriously, this shit is still funny hours later and I needed a good laugh after the last 2 hours of listening to my kid and her Honors Band slaughtering the classics.

He is mostly a power dunker from what I've seen but he does get some sick height on some of those dunks so that can lend itself for some real creativity

SPURS are just too decimated by injuries right now.
They have not played a single game with LA, Kawahi, Gasol, Gay, Parker, Mills, Ginobili, Anderson, and Green together..

IT is a decent job for Popovich (despite his relentless frustrating rest games) to have them where they are.

ALDRIDGE/LEONARD/GAY could have been a dominant front court, but bad luck is bad luck.
Although, if they get healthy. Nobody is going to want to play them at full strength.

I am still holding out hope that both Gay and Leonard will be back by May.

He isn't as popular as the guys competing. There's your problem. All-Star weekend is basically a popularity contest unless you're a big time dunker.
