No bs. I should be an nba coach.

do it

This is a tough one. One one hand the idea that playing in the league being a primary driver of you being able to coach/commentator/etc feels exclusionary, but if that's the only way black people have a chance....

The real issue is that the black people that get looks are the ones who have played. It's the only way they can credentialize themselves. Ridiculous.

>>>> The dunk contest

this is still my favorite steph dunk attempt tho

 

[Peep Game]

I enjoyed it. The Steph-LeBron chemistry was too apparent, like when you see opposite sex friends who get along with each other better than their significant others. I dont know how it happens or where it leaves their current situation but it needs to happen.

What an analogy. This is

The culture needs Curry x Dame backcourt. And bron in the frontcourt. And joker at the 5. AD at the 4.

Not a super team. Just 5 good guys that like basketyball

no.....

But the triple Point guard alley oop with Dame, Steph and Cp3...in succession...

Followed shortly after with these back to back half court 3s was remarkable. You can’t stage that man. That’s A+ entertainment right there, and a perfect bow tie to the era of Point guards.

These are going to go down as all Star moments. Should’ve ended the game at half time tbh.

Imo it really was my favorite ASG in recent memory. Outside of Kobe's last.

Enemies and rivals became friends for 2 hrs. Curry x King. Curry x Dame. Curry and CP3 throwing oops to each other. Man. Loved it. Still seeing all the pix and posts on ig. Makes me feel warm n fuzzy

Steve gonna play till he's 40

NT thinks the all star game is trash every year

Niketalk has a false sense of reality.

The Asg Is an event for casual fans.

It isn't for the hardcore losers that browse 82games.com , listen to podcasts, and dabble in "NBA Twitter."

It is for children as well and I know they aren't complaining about it.

Not sure what yall want out of the ASG but you ain't the target audience.

Kinda spoiled by the end of last year ASG. best players in the world going back in forth and actually trying. Guys elevating their game and showing WHY they are the best in the world

 

[antidope]

Man....... What a year man. Hoping all of us continue to be good through all of this.

Speaking about the ASG in general, not just 2021.

In general, to "demand" (which we do) that dudes go hard / play like they mean it in a meaningless exhibition game is ridiculous.
Most of them DON'T want to be there, who can blame them, so it will show.

Sure, you can reference 1992 or 2001 as competitive affairs but to EXPECT it is unreasonable.

On any level of basketball, ASGs are exhibition games. They aren't taken seriously so when the best in the world are placed in that setting why are they tasked to "prove they are the best" when they already do that for 82 games in an actual season.

I just think our expectations are very unreasonable.
