    Probably cause he’s dunked like 30 times his whole career and they’re all basic weak sauce dunks where he barely gets over the rim.

    I was rooting for Team Giannis. Westbrick ruined it for them. I would have put in Middleton or Jokic for Embid in the fourth. Overall, I gotta be that old man and say that they shoot way too many threes and that point guards like CP3 are clearly missed.

    this players' team idea seems to be working in improving a bit the competitiveness. I still fell asleep in the middle of the game, but at least it was later than ASG of the past.
    As soon as Lebron retires I am sure the ASG will become much better.

    I just don't understand how anyone would think people that have reached the pinnacle of the sport aren't also in the top percentile athletically. The worst/shortest player in the G-League can dunk.

    Actually, tomorrow is a school holiday. :) Maybe that’s why he gets to stay up late.

    First of all, thank you to Russell Westbrook for leveling out the game by taking 3's once his team got too far ahead.

    Second: LOL @ Blake Griffin for clapping his hands in an (unsuccessful) attempt to startle a shooter in the third quarter of an all-star game.

    Attempted the 3rd most 3s in the game, 2nd most on the team after Lillard. Stephanie with the most.

    Man, that quote reads WAY worse. When you have video, PG was just having fun with it.. I was really angry at the disrespect directed at Harden at first.

    I don't even watch that garbage. Too many egos in one place for me to stomach.

    I don't think Harden helped his rep as a "volume" shooter much with all three-point attempts (13) and only hit three.

    Didn't watch a single event this year just like last year. I've mostly avoided it because it's become a giant wholesome frat love fest that is nauseating for me. Watching some highlights and interviews after the fact has confirmed my bias further. In fact I'm convinced that the NBAs push to have this wholesome NBA family party is the reason "stars" want to play together now ruining the competitive spirit. As long as they continue the love fest, the "i wanna play with my friends" bullshit will continue.
