NBA: All Star Weekend

[CloneGuy8]

Of the major sports, the NBA does the all star event the best with all the different competitions. Haliburton is competing in the rising stars competition; NBA TV is showing the rising stars practice right now, FYI.

yes NBA and NHL are both fun to watch (besides the game itself).

Like all the different competitions in both...speed skating, 3 pt, dunk, etc

I generally agree...but the Home Run Derby is fun to watch in July for MLB. Actually...baseball's all-star game seems to have improved the past few years. But as far as skills competitions and the like...the NBA is good at it.

I love NBA All Star weekend. Of all the major sports, they do their All star events the best.
Everyone is having fun and trying to pull off crazy shots. The crowd is into it. And they just nail the "spectacle" aspect.

Rising stars game is about to start

Haliburtons team won so they'll play tomorrow night. I think he only scored 2, but had what seemed like 30 assists

My bad. Apparently the championship is starting now.

3 point contest about to start. My money is on Trae Young

Game about to start. TBS will have the broadcast with Barkley, Shaq, Ernie, and Kenny with their commentary as it happens so I'll be on that channel.

It would be incredible theater to see these talents actually try for the whole game but I understand there's too much at risk with no real prize for winning. Should at least be a somewhat entertaining fourth quarter with the Elam Ending again

Also stylish dunks/passes are at least entertaining. It's fun to watch these types of athletes really open up.

NFL Pro Bowl is basically just offenses running plays and MLB is just playing a game.

I assume it will be like last year where they try in the 4th quarter and the last minute or so of the other quarters

The festivities leading up to the games are fun but most of these All star games suck so bad

Did Steph not do 3 point contest this year cause he would've won too easily? Dude is just on another planet right now. Never seen anything like it

No. That's the one thing I dislike about the NBA. Steph should be doing the 3 point contest and Ja Morant should be doing the dunk contest.

All you people like Skip Bayless can’t help that there was someone better than Michael Jordan so soon and didn’t even enjoy LeBron’s career

My only takeaway from last night is how the hell is Damian Lillard on the All 75 team? Guy has been 1st team all NBA once.
