    He and Reggie's commentary during the 3 point contest was the worst. Let those guys have concentration.

    yes i know he can get up the highest probably in the league right now but I just meaning what does being 19 have to do anything with it? I predicted lavine would have won easily, especially with the dunks he did before with the windmill free throw line. wish he done that instead of one of his between the legs dunk

    I thought it was just heard on TV, it was heard throughout the arena?

    Yeah. As the crowd got louder so did Reggie and Kenny. During Harden's turn they were yelling HE CAN HEAR US! HE CAN HEAR US!

    Yep. Everything from Kenny and Reggie's in-event commentary to the halftime show with EJ / Shaq / Chuck could be heard by everyone.

    This was the first (and should really be the last) time they do an omnipresent commentary. It got really annoying.

    I wish sports channel would offer a 2nd audio stream with just the arena noises mixed in.

    I try to turn the center channel down as much as possible to avoid the commentators.

    If you guys catch the replay of the dunk contest, Hakeem is sitting next to brother. Pretty cool of the dream to get his bro front row seats to such a big event!

    Yeah the commentary was just distracting. Kyrie missed every single ball on one rack when Reggie said that LBJ was the real reason the Cavs were surging.

    Good AS Saturday. One of the best in recent years.

    Based on the old 3-point shoot-out rules (last ball on each rack is a money-ball), Curry's score was 25 which ties Craig Hodges. If highest score in a 3-point shootout is officially tallied somewhere, there should be an asterisk.

    Presumably he's made that before...that would be the greatest dunk ever.
