All Star Weekend Thread

[trojanfan12]

The game, and all the ridiculous events associated with it, are an embarrassment to professional sports.

Yes and no. The game itself is usually pretty entertaining. There is literally zero defense played for the first 3 to 3 1/2 quarters, so you get to see some pretty amazing offense. Then in the 4th quarter, they start getting competitive and wanting to win, so the defense picks up considerably and you get some pretty cool stuff happening that you don't see during the regular season.

The celebrity game needs to go away, the rising stars game is fun though. This years 3 point contest has the potential to be one of the best ever, but unless the NBA can figure out a way to get more of the star players to participate, the dunk contest needs to go away.

As for the "fashion show".............

ESPN did a little tribute for Stuart Scott before the Celebrity Game. His daughters were there and they gave them a ball signed by everyone who is playing in the celebrity game.

oh jeebus....east deserves to lose. You DIDNTDOUBLE TEAM Davis ...

 

[OregonDucks]

I would say blame the coach, but anyone with any sort of basketball IQ out there on the court should KNOW this

 

[OregonDucks]

Shouldn't take a coach to tell you to double team when you clearly should!! Absolute shameful performance.

 

[OregonDucks]

I understand that coach was some celebrity and didn't know what he was doing, but come on...someone on the East must know the bottom line basics of basketball to know what to do or step up and say something.
