The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[Retroram52]

Max McClung started his career with the Lakers. Western Knecht was on one of the Rising Stars teams. Oh, the satire.

His 'career' is dunk contests, not playing in the NBA. I don't mind it but let's be real.

Whoops, clicked on and posted those on the wrong thread.

Yeah. He isn’t very good.

At least in context of being an NBA player. Just not at that level.

MAC McClung isn't a true NBA player though, just a dunker in the dunk contest....

Yes



No

I laughed when the Spurs got DQ's.

Even if they really did discover a technicality it made no sense to use it since they went first. At least make the finals before you try it.

It was just really weird to see.

I believe 2021 was the last time he participated.

Don’t think that is it.

If Steph did the 3 point contest every year he would have like 6-7 titles by now.

Also, he did a charity 3 point contest yesterday with Mr. beast against a high school player.

Might not be worried about not winning at home but think 6-7 titles a major stretch.

Why you think that is a stretch?

Has only competed in it a few times. Guessing he would have about a 50% win rate because he is that good.

I’m looking forward to the all star game

I’ll watch starting out to see if there is effort. If there isn’t off it will go.

Different format. First to 40 is enough to keep me engaged for these mini games

There has to be effort

Legends team not going to let the rising stars beat them. And rising stars going to play hard.

The pick ups style I think is a good idea.

Main event is 40 points also?

Was hoping for longer

He has competed 6 times and won it 2X (last time he entered was 1 in 2021) so your guess is off. Came in 2nd a few times and missed 2nd round 1 time.

At this rate he'd need to have entered 18 times to win it 6.

Yep according to espn website. Should have made it 60 or 70

It was a pretty drastic measure but after the players thumbed their noses at the request last year it was this or cancel it.

I'm just glad it's not shorter like the championship of Rising stars is (or at least was...didn't watch this year).
