The Dunk Contest would be better if this were real:

I literally forgot about All-Star Saturday.

This will probably get pulled, didn't see anything of just the dunks yet:

Chuck made this vid worth watching for me at least.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #8465 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:56:02 PM »

Should be starting pretty soon. I don't care about the Friday or Saturday stuff. I'm not a kid. But even as goofy and as poorly played as the All-Star game is there is a part of me that is always excited to see all those guys on the court at the same time.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #8466 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:59:39 PM »

All-Star game is obviously for the white fans

Just look at the music selection

I hate to be mean to people who haven't really done anything wrong but I wish Craig Sager would go away forever.

The All Star game and Weekend is complete BS and Pop almost certainly treats it like that so in an ironic way they are perfect for each other.

Pop really needs to pull all Parker and Duncan for phantom injuries and write the check to Stern right there

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8476 on:** February 17, 2013, 08:42:49 PM »

oh ffs are they SERIOUSLY going to have 7 separate anthems

none of these guys singing can even dunk

They need an Australian national anthem for Kyrie

So the ASG is basically the Heat vs the LA teams

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #8480 on:** February 17, 2013, 08:49:41 PM »

Is 6 foul rule still in effect for ASG?

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8481 on:** February 17, 2013, 08:52:20 PM »

it's the only way Dwight won't get dunked on 50 times

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8482 on:** February 17, 2013, 08:54:06 PM »

so who looks partied out

Melo looked pretty wasted

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #8483 on:** February 17, 2013, 09:02:16 PM »

put in kyrie

also I think its funny that melo is starting along with KG

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8484 on:** February 17, 2013, 09:03:50 PM »

how on earth can Melo be a better pure scorer than KD without actually scoring more points

it's like Reggie has only 140 characters to say one thing about each player, every time

maybe he's a secret stutterer and has to rehearse this shit for hours before the game

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8485 on:** February 17, 2013, 09:04:34 PM »

of course 'pure scorer' is basically a euphemism for 'doesn't do anything else'

there's always that guy in the ASG who is amazing but never gets to play with anyone good, then everyone realizes 'holy crap, this guy is legit' - i think Kyrie is that guy

Smooth - if Craig Sager started his own sneaker line, how many pairs would you pre-order

I get a little sad when I realize I'm going to have to endure the next decade of Alicia Keys, Beyonce, and John Legend as the musical representatives at every single event. I have nothing against those people. It's just can't we mix it up a little more.

Fun enough first half. Hopefully its close going into the 4th.

Cormac, what do you think of the Chuckposites?

I originally thought they were kinda ugly but they were #1 on hype list.

Not such a bad choice, I guess?

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8499 on:** February 17, 2013, 10:51:06 PM »

i have only owned one pair of basketball shoes (black and silver Jordans) so I am not the target market

i will say that day glo shit is everything i hated about the 80s when the 80s were happening

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8500 on:** February 17, 2013, 10:52:34 PM »

watching the clips, the Dunk contest actually had some great, regular dunks this year. I'm sure the show was overlong and tedious of course. Ross and Faried had the best I think, James White choked big-time

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #8501 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:07:15 PM »

Ross was obviously the best his year

also kyrie is tearing it up whenever he's on the court

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8502 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:16:37 PM »

props to Kobe for that D on LeBron

it is ON

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #8503 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:27:54 PM »

Good game for all star game standards.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8504 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:33:26 PM »

yeah, not bad. Glad I watched it on the company dime rather than burning weekend TV time on it though.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #8505 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:40:02 PM »

I don't think the stage was too big for James White, he's just too old

Those two handed tomahawks and between the legs from ft line were from a long time ago

There were definitely some nice dunks in this year's contest

Only problem I had was too many tries on the same dunk

It should be 3-5 attempts max

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #8506 on:** February 18, 2013, 12:02:17 AM »

They should do an all star game where captains are chosen (Kobe and LeBron), and they get to pick who is on their team from the entire list of all stars. Winning team gets 1mil for the charity of their choosing, plus each player gets some car that hasn't been released yet.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #8507 on:** February 18, 2013, 12:09:10 AM »

Good idea

I bet Kobe would pick a scrub team that just rebounds and plays D

Kanye actually did make a comeback. They sat him next to Shaq and he just looked tiny. Just as the entire viewership was no doubt thinking this, someone came scurrying up with something for Kanye, and Ernie explained that it was for him to sit on

Simple but genius execution

Lakers owner, Jerry Buss died.

He's going to miss the championship parade.

Last night, Wayne told the crowd that he has been banned from all NBA events at the request of the Miami Heat. It's hard to believe that this is actually true, but that didn't stop him from telling the NBA and everyone associated with the Miami Heat to go get fucked. The coup de grâce came when Wayne loudly proclaimed that he has boned Chris Bosh's wife.

Didn't he get banned from one game for making a gun gesture with his hands in the direction of a fan?

Jerry Buss dying leaves the Lakers with a bit of a power vacuum, I guess. Jim Buss seems almost as bad as Jim Dolan in terms of talentless entitled silver spooners.

Michael Jordan Points Out Flaw In LeBron's Game - Business Insider

Quote

"It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. 'So if I have to guard him,' Jordan says, 'I'm gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he's gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he's going to the hole and I can't stop him. So I ain't letting him go right.'

"For the rest of the game, when LeBron gets the ball and starts his move, Jordan will call out some variation of 'drive' or 'shoot.' ... He's answering texts, buried in his phone, when the play-by-play guy announces a LeBron jump shot. Without looking up, Jordan says, 'Left?'"

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #8519 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:25:30 PM »

you ARE aware that a player can drive to HIS right on either side of the court?

that said, I don't think MJ would have much luck with that strategy alone. It's pretty basic scouting that the entire league already tries to employ
