All Star Weekend Thread

They basically stole the Jazz city jerseys from the past few seasons. . .

Pisses me off that we went from the City edition gradient jerseys - some of the most badass ones in the league - to the stupid highlighters. At least they realized that the old purple mountain jerseys are the best ones this season.

probably because the the utah organization had a lot to do with the all star jersey designs...hence they are playing in...SLC
 
I was bored at work today and figured out how to fix the all-star game.

1. We are picking 40 all-stars. If you are 41, I don't want to hear about "getting snubbed." 40 is a pretty decent group to be included in.

2. We are dividing those all stars into 4 teams of 10 and are having a two day tournament. Winner plays winner and loser plays loser to determine 4th place.

3. The twist is that the winning team stays. They return intact (as much as is possible) to defend their crown the next year. All ten players are grandfathered into an all-star invite the next year.

I'd watch the Hell out of something like that.
That's cool as long as no player from my team is on it. The season is already long and hard enough without extra games and injury risks.

Personally I think the game is fine. It's supposed to be a reward for the players and they can have a casual fun game. It should not be a competitive game. They probably should make it even more casual.

I think these will look good on the players, especially if the floor uses these colors as well.

I agree with you, I got the city jersey warm up hoodie for Christmas it looks sick. This year's jacket, jerseys and merchandise is such a joke

My wife bought me a City Edition jersey of Gobert and Mitchell. They’re both awesome. Hate the new stuff.
 
It's going to be interesting to see which musician's are going to perform during the weekend. Any predictions? Any confirmed yet?
 
Looks like they'll be doing the 4-team format from last year again, maybe I'll like it more now that I got a horse in the race with Kessler. Excited to see Scoot in the game, as well as hypothetical Jazz legends Quentin Grimes and Bones Hyland
lol Im glad I've catapulted Bones into hypothetical jazz legend territory
 
I wonder if the G-League rookies will make the Rising Stars game more competitive. Got to think Scoot/Miller/Sidy have something to prove and that will raise the stakes?
My bet is this part is WAY more entertaining than the actual all-star game will be. It is boring as **** to see these guys trotting down court and trying to let each other score 70 points in a quarter. Won't be long and the games will be flirting with the 200 point mark, PER TEAM.
