Game Thread: All Star Weekend

I guess the judges think the same.

Wall's dunk was the best of the night

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Kimberly Paige...would

That had to be the worst slam dunk comp ever.. They only got one dunk each?? They need to go back to the old format.. I thought after they got down to the 3 they would each dunk again for the winner.

Not a fan of this format where the best two dunkers don't face off. Underwhelming finish to another mediocre all star saturday

I do not care what they do but that format sucks. This has become the NFL all star game, shitty.

That wins biggest joke I've seen. Walls dunk was awesome but that was it? Generic

 

[Shanemansj13]

The team format shit sucks. The whole thing sucked ass. Waste of time!

Normally with a post on this level I would refer it to this...

but the post is not quite on that level but still deserves proper recognition...

All Star Saturday Night sucked ass. All the guys in the 3pt contest never got into a good rhythm and just kept jacking bricks. And the Dunk contest was stupid, confusing, and underwhelming. The only thing worse was Nick Cannon as a host. Seriously, how does he have a job? I've seen 5th graders with stage fright do better jobs than that.

Nick Cannon being a host made All Star Saturday that much more irrelevant.

Dear NBA
Re; 2014 All Star Weekend Skills Competition Format

Don't ever do that again!

Thanks in advance,
NBA Fans

This whole East vs West format blows. Especially when you are paired up with a teammate who doesn't give a crap. Reggie Jackson was taking a walk in the park during the skills comp. Sorry Dragic.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah that format sucked especially the dunk contest. Can you blame LeBron for not wanting in on this dunk contest?

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Shacrapmento. Dunk contest blew too, the dunkers didn't even seem like they wanted to do try to do anything either, even when they used Drake as a prop, the dunker didn't use him in any way really, he didn't need him at all in order to make the dunk. I'm sorry I wasted my time on it. Maybe the game will be more enjoyable but I probably won't watch it anyway.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Bron Bron doesn't want to be compared, that's why he doesn't man up for the contest. I can't really blame him though, nothing but rookies, the only ones who had any real hops were George and Wall. Lillard for his size can get up.

The gif is vinsane.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Good read and includes some records to look for.

I think LEBRON puts on a show tonight.


You can see it in his eyes that he is now ready to remind us who the best team and player is in the last 30 games.


he uses it for a springboard to tear up the league and the MVP race the last 30 games.


I think he has gotten tired of hearing about other teams and other players.


I suspect Miami goes on some 27-3 type run and LeBron re-asserts his MVP.


I don't have a dog in the LBJ hate/lovefest....but it just has that feeling that its "go time" now.

I thought pretty much everyone was talking about him. If they're not they're probably talking about Durant.
