2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

[sea manup]

 

go with the idea of having an all nba flop team at the end of each year

then every allstar saturday they force everyone on the last year's all flop team to play 1v1 call your own fouls

could be entertaining 

It would be bricks galore

but lebron's worked hard to improve his jumpshot....

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

How about a series of half court game 3-3 game with traditional college rivalries with an "old timer/legend" on each team?


example duke unc...


Grant Hill
Kyrie Irvin
Mason Plumlee

vs

Rasheed
Ty Lawson
Tyler Hansbrough


?

I'm not trying to see Gary Payton turn into dust g. A lot of our fav. legends are too old and would disintegrate within minutes.

All I know is the changes made to the skills challenge this year were good enough to keep for next time around.

Dont NBA players have their own rules for 1v1? I know they have a set number of dribbles they can take so they limit it to quick moves and quick 1v1 possessions.

Like they are only allowed 3 dribbles per possession or something like that?

Who is Kyrie Irvin?

Michaels brother?

 

[AEA18]

Nelly use to babysit Bradley beal

That line was highlight of the night for me classic slander

 

[heliumclinton]

If I paid for this I'd be PISSED, now I'm actually reconsidering going to All Star Weekend next year in Brooklyn

NBA is ruining this for me

 

[sohoguy]

Forget the all star Saturday event. They need to bump all events and just do a hour 1/2 show with chuck, shaq, EJ, Chris webber, Karl and Kenny. They been saving this event for way too long now.

Feed was messing up while i was trying to watch the video but Wall's dunk looked pretty beasty

Was that the ooh kill em and nae nae dance celebration i saw?

That series LeBron vs Detroit was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen in sports. Since that series, nothing but respect for his game.

Happy Janelle Monae is getting shine.

No idea why John Wall is in the dunk contest.



And to my Oreo lovers in here. Cookie Doigh Oreos taste like coffee and the marshmallow are incredible.

I've seen plenty of John Wall games. Just because you can dunk doesn't mean you should be in the contest. He's not an extravagent dunker nor does he have ridiculous flight. Let's be serious.

 

[dmbrhs]

It does say something about all-star Saturday night that most of the non-participating all-star players weren't in attendance and the celebs that got the most camera time were Drake and Nelly.

I don't think the cameras showed them. Durant was in the Shooting Stars, but he disappeared until one shot later on at the very end of the dunk contest with Harden. That's a production choice. And, let' be honest, there was no reason to cut to reactions of any players sitting courtside.

 

[gothmog]

they should introduce a veterans match during all star game 2 teams of retired players between 35-60years old , that would be funny and awesome , and propably better to watch than rising stars challenge and west vs east game 

 

[antidope]

My brother suggested 1v1 thing last night, and it woudlnt work for two reasons

-The casual fans and groupies would hate it

-No star player would ever play. If theyre afraid to lose in the dunk contest what makes you think they will be more comfortable losing in a straight up 1 on 1

Worst all star Saturday in history ...David Stern made sure he ruined the NBA before he left

I'm sure Kobe would compete every year.

go for the women then bruh

 

[blastercombo]

Anything they do will be boring because the players don't care about the competition aspect of the weekend.

All star break used to matter to them, now it's just playing dress up.

The respect for it is lost

Highlight: Skylar Diggins


Lowlight: Everything else.


Was there even a crowd there last night?

When exactly did the players care about the competition aspect of the weekend? It's always been about partying for those guys...

So they didn't wanna their event? Jordan didn't care?

 

[jjs07]

Aside from Jordan being the obviously bigger name, where exactly are you getting the notion that he cared more than the guys that were out there last night?

Is it because Lebron isn't in the dunk contest? I'm not following....

Hmmm..... Reggie Jackson's performance? The dunks for the dunk contest that consisted of all garbage besides 2? Off the top of my head

 

[duba169]

If they allow 1 one 1 match. Allstar will be dope to watch. I would love to see Lebron vs KD in a one one up to 21 to see who win first.

Dunk contest is so played out because we have seen it all.

Just don't let wade play. Sooooo many noses will be broken
