well this year the skills challenge was amazing because they really tried. The bigs want to prove they have as much skills as the smalls. When it comes to pride, they players are really motivated to give effort I guess. lol I have never seen a better skills challenge than this year.
Would be cool if the NBA left like 2 spots open for the ALL-Star Game on Sunday. Then the winners of the 1v1 and dunk contest would earn the last 2 spots. They can go on either EAST or WEST.
Not only does he pass the ball under both legs. Look how high he's getting. His ass is well above the mascot's head. If he was extended his head would be well above the rim. Wow

No one is talking about Gordon's spinning mascot dunk. That one was the best dunk of the night IMO. When he signaled the mascot to start spinning on the hover board...
That was my most favorite dunk too. The crowd had no idea that was coming. Most creative dunk I've seen in a long time.
Can't argue with Gordon's dunks. They were by far the most creative. But Levine clearly had the most air. When guys in the past have won with simply a launch from the free throw line to dunk (ie MJ & Bones) but now Levine is doing things like through the legs whilst jumping from the free throw line - can't argue with him being the winner. Fans were the real winners and I think it would've been fair to call it a draw. Maybe in future they could look at changing the scoring system.

Barkley - West will win. No competition. U got the Curry, Thompson, Durant and Westbrook. 4 .. er 5, I mean 4 best offensive weapons in the NBA. Kenny - U also got James Harden. Chuck - Yeah ughh, (Changes subject)
So Barkley is continuing to hate on Harden in pre game. Called Westbrook, Durant, Curry, and Thompson the 4 best scorers on the planet. Kenny inserted Harden in there and Barkley essentially called him a chucker.
Harden is a better scorer than Westbrook and Thompson and on the same level as Curry, and may have the slight edge on Durant. Barkley is a moron.
