Official Rising Stars Challenge Game Thread - 2/12/16 - 7 PM MST

Gordon's under the *** dunk was one of the best I've ever seen. He should have won.
 
Ways to make the allstar game competitive again? This is like watching a steamy turd the size of a watermelon.
 
Boy am I enjoying this Sting performance.... loving it. Sick of the usual Hip Hop, Rap, RnB stuff ...


Thank you Toronto!!!!
 
Bill Simmons agrees..

Sting is crushing it. I want to dole out awkward high fives to other aging white guys like we are Ryder Cup teammates.

This Sting show is awesome and I want to be on a separate social media service where just white guys in their 40s are losing their ****.
 
LOL ... good on you Jody...


Respect.

Tell you what, Sting was truer to his art at halftime than the NBA All-Stars have been to their sport in this game.
 
This is worse than usual all-star game after a better than usual dunk contest.

They should make the home court advantage in the Finals based on this game for East or West. Then some players might play hard. Or maybe just need players who have some pride in the game. Maybe get rid of the east west thing and let the top 2 vote receivers be captains and pick their team. Or they could just get rid of this game and do more skill/fun contest stuff. They could even add a 1v1, 2v2... half court game or something as well.

They did the HORSE challenge once which I thought was pretty entertaining, not sure why they did away with that.

No love for D. They should have a block contest. Gobert FTW.

I like your idea about home court advantage, but that would only get some players involved, how do you get all of them to be engaged?

I think if you get some of the players playing hard the rest will follow. They wont want to get embarrassed and let their teammates down who have something on the line.

Maybe give each player on the winning team 1-3 challenges they can use in the regular season to challenge any call by a ref. They all seem to bitch a lot about the refs.

Not bad, but that helps all teams in the west or the east equally, so there's no real impact in the standings. There has to be something...
