Nice segment.. but D Wade keeps calling Salt Lake.. “the City of Utah” .. lol..

He was trying to emphasis that the team is more connected than just SLC. He was talking about Salt lake county connected to Utah county and it's basically one big city now and also tying in park city. He said it's not a small market team. He's trying to change a lot of narratives in this segment that may or may not be true. But either way he's purposely saying that to make it bigger than SLC for various reasons.
 
The game is what it is. I don't know how we change it. It was clear that a few guys were actually trying out there - Embiid, Donovan, Tatum and a few others. Hell, even LeBron was contesting shots at the rim, but look at what that got him - he hurt his hand.

Pretty sure JC was still recovering from Friday night. The Skills Comp could have been better but the 3-Point and Slam Dunk was solid. I'll give Day 2 an overall score of 47.

Out of 200? I agree,

The LeBron James invitational needs to end.

You missed one of the most awkward moments I can remember in NBA history...they brought out the top 3 all-time scorers and more or less forced Kareem and Malone to bend the knee to "King" James. My hell, what an entitled and narcissistic douchebag. I normally am not one to wish ill on others, but if LeBron got a career-ending injury that wasn't super-serious, just enough to prompt him to finally ****ing retire, it would be one of the best things that could happen to the league.

I didn't see it that way at all. The way I see it, that was done as much to acknowledge a Utah Jazz great since the Malone is in the top 3 and we were hosting the game. As soon as LeBron was announced, he moved to quickly to show gratitude to DWade for the intro then brought Kareem and Malone closer to him as a joint embrace.

LeBron can be pompous and has his annoying moments for sure, but media coverage just is what it is. The NBA desperately tries to prop up players generation by generation. It's just what they do.

People are quick to hate on LeBron because they are quick to hate on something. He's just the first superstar in the social media era. Before him, players only got praise.

Eh, agree to disagree. You are very dismissive of any further discussion by labeling any dissenting opinion as "hating just to hate", which is utter ********. Everyone doesn't have to love LeBron. You can, go ahead, no one will stop you.

I'm perfectly fine to keep discussing. At no point did I say otherwise.

Everyone doesn't have to hate LeBron. You can, go ahead, no one will stop you.

Do you know what a joke is?
 
Want to make the All Star game competitive again? Make them play for home court during the finals. Go back to East vs West and winner gets home court. I hate watching that no defense BS
