All Star Weekend Thread

Charles and Shaq have been very complimentary of the Utah crowd tonight, Shaq even said it's the best crowd they've ever had for a broadcast.
 
Giannis injured his wrist.

"Team Antetokounmpo" legitimacy is in jeopardy, unless they have more brothers lined up.
 
Ok guys, I think I figured our the reasoning behind Jazz highlighter-yellow. :p

Also, Inside the NBA just disclosed that reserves will be drafted first to counter the "who gets picked last" talk.

That is the dumbest thing I've heard this year so far.

its the allstar game nothing makes sense never has.
This entire spectacle is really not entertaining, unless you are really ****ing board, really ****ing old, or really ****ed in the head and enjoy feeling like you are in an episode of lost in space from the 70's. Danger danger will robinson.
I plan on watching all of it, smh
 
They're doing this All Star Celebrity Game, introduced by Ben Affleck. It's mildly entertaining. Doesn't look like people are too keen to take a charge from DK Metcalf.

Eh, I hate to invoke "the olden days" but in the 70's-80's-90's they took it as a point of pride with the whole east vs west thing and some of those games were among the most entertaining of the year. Yeah defense was never the Hallmark of the game, but by no stretch was it completely absent, and as the time wound town in the 4th quarter they would ratchet up both offense and defense because they legitimately wanted to win the game. But it's morphed into a bunch of entitled douches running layup drills and throwing high fives and trying to one-up each other with no one giving a single **** about the game or the fans. It felt like there was a time when they understood they were there to entertain the fans and give a good showing for the ones paying them to play a kids game and winning was a matter of pride. Now they **** on the fans, care only about making themselves look good and their pride is in their multi-hundred-million dollar contracts. And frankly they don't hide any of it. It shows true disdain for the people who spend their money for the entertainment and make it so these over-grown man-children can experience wealth on a nearly unfathomable scale before they turn 30. It's part of what makes players like Conley such a breath of fresh air as it feels like he's one of the few who doesn't let that entitlement become his entire persona and actually shows *gasp* gratitude for what he has been "blessed" with, however you choose to define that.
