2020 All-Star Weekend Predictions Thead.

Who is your MVP for the Rising Stars?

If he is trying, it should be Doncic, but I did pick USA over the World. And if he is trying for USA, Young should win.

Here are my Roast results:

Haddish: Good one on Barkley using a breathalyzer to start his car.

Ross: Shaq wearing backpack as a fanny pack; Shaq running out of lunch money at breakfast; Charles agreeing to do the movie Space Jam because he thought it was about jelly.

Payton: Wade played for the Heat for 14 years; then played the Bulls for $47 M.

J.B. Smoove: Inflatable Shaq doll. (You have to see his gestures)

No one else stood out. Wade and Shaq didn't get any great shots when they had the mic.

Ross is the clear winner to me, although I did like the other one bits I mentioned. Ross had the best consistent material.

Smoove also had well thought out bits.

One thing I really like about Payton's line, is because pretty much everyone knew that he mostly joined the Bulls for the money, and it being his hometown. He knew he was past his prime, so he really got them for the money.

Most people knew that's what was happening when he signed, too, that the Bulls were not going to get a great Wade.

If he is trying, it should be Doncic, but I did pick USA over the World. And if he is trying for USA, Young should win.

I really like how Doncic, Mitchell, and Nash look like they're having fun when they're playing.

Not everyone has to scowl.

(I can't find a good picture of Steve Nash smiling in the middle of a play, but the picture is in my head.)

(I don't know, is this a smile?)

James to Leonard was a sweet opening play.

Team LeBron made it's first shot too, it wasn't a brick.

 

[nuraman00]

How many people had Chris Paul finishing an alley oop?

 

[nuraman00]

Team Giannis needs to take Kemba Walker out.

Team LeBron needs to get Doncic in. They need more passing.

 

[nuraman00]

Team Giannis should have taken Walker out, and put in Young, Gobert, Adebayo, or Middleton.

 

[nuraman00]

Mitchell too.

 

[nuraman00]

There were too many missed FTs in the 4th. Harden, Siakam, Davis.

Both coaches seemed to not play young players in the 4th. Mitchell/Young/Adebayo over Walker, and Doncic for any amount of minutes, over anyone, for Team LeBron, would have been great.

Instead, Lowry for Team Giannis, and Paul for Team LeBron, were the bench players that played in the 4th.

 

[nuraman00]

This is the best I've seen multiple Jazz players play in an All-Star game.

I didn't see the 1993 All-Star game. Even if I would have, it doesn't take away from how I enjoyed seeing both Mitchell and Gobert make an impact in this one.

 

[nuraman00]

I wish I hadn't seen the score of the 1993 game. Now it will ruin the drama, if I ever were to see it.

157-155=2

1+5+7+1+5+5=24

2 was Gianna Bryant's number.

24 was Kobe Bryant's number.
