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

If a franchise player got seriously hurt while participating in a mid-season exhibition game it would cost their team a shot at the title. I don't think we'll see a change in the format anytime soon.

The 1v1 or 2v2 would be interesting to see especially in an elimination format.
 
I know, the best team in one conference plays the worst in the other conference in the playoffs, the 2nd plays the 2nd worse in the other conference and so on... The only thing is, the teams from the conference that wins the allstar game all get home court advantage.

I'd love to see this.


Especially the 2v2.... you pick 2 players from your team and have at it. Have like a mini tournament.


Curry & Draymond VS CP3 & Blake ... etc, etc.

Genius or stupid? You won't hurt my feelings... I know that'd be a game I would root for the West to win, and the players would be fully engaged since there could be a lot to lose here. Then in the next rounds it would be back to the season records what mattered as for having home court advantage since there could be 2 teams in the same conference matching up with each other in the 2nd round. But there could be some upsets in the 1st round for sure. A darn good reason to compete in the allstar game.

That would be very entertaining. Who from the Jazz would you select? I think Exum and Gobert could do some damage with their defensive prowess.

How would they score lol, it's either Hood, Hayward or Burks....you'd have to pick play makers

I think Burks could excel in this.. I would say Burks and Favors.

That would be filthy. Alec has some good moves and can basically get to the hoop at will and Favors is developing a nice offensive game to compliment his defense.

I want to see this happen now.

Exum could just throw lobs to Gobert off the PnR but you're probably right. I do, however see Exum developing his offense and becoming great. The kid wants it, has a great attitude and possess all the tools to do so.

Love Exum as well, I think he'll excel at the corner three that Quin loves

Ways to make the allstar game competitive again? This is like watching a steamy turd the size of a watermelon.

I turned it off before the first quarter ended... and im usually one to defend the all star game

Lol at harden guarding Burks.

Of course there is a flip side to that lol that I don't want to talk about

I still think a front flip dunk could be done.. And would be the best thing of all time

When I read your post I thought you were crazy. I didn't believe it could be done without a trampoline. Then I did a little searching and found this guy. Yeah, the floor might have a little springiness, but he could probably do it. Whether there will ever be an NBA player with this sort of skill is questionable, though. Really no reason for them to develop it.
