Event 2018 All-Star Weekend

[Chris Craig]

They weren’t gonna showcase Dame..he did it on his own..that’s Portland. I’m fuckin proud

Yep, that's Portland. Barely even mentioned he was tied for top scorer on team Steph. Mentioned it in passing. No respect. But, I'm proud of Dame. He brought it.

 

[Chris Craig]

LeBron won it guys. It was jus announced before commercial break

Boring

 

[TBpup]

Lillard finishes with 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. Tied for leading scorer on team Steph. Beat out all other point guards in the game. I'm proud of my boy.

Dame was the best player for Team Steph and yet not a single highlight on ESPNs top plays of the All Star game that I could see. What a joke!

 

[DameLill379]

I guess to be fair Bron did have 29 points, 8 assists and 10 rebounds.

But what Dame did in 21 minutes of bench time was insane.

Harden was Lowry bad

Hard on was brick city

Dame did PDX proud.

 

[theprunetang]

Lebron deserved it. His side won and he beasted. Dame played well, and should have been in at the end.

Is what it is. They can diss Dame and PDX all they want. We gotcha Espen

He scored only 3 more points I think than Dame

Edit: Nevermind he had 8 more

 

[PHXBlazer1]

If it weren’t a popularity contest, Dame would have played at the end and brought home the win and the MVP..oh well

Definitely could have happened.

[theprunetang]

So Jimmy Butler drinks like a fish? He really would have fit in nicely next to Lillard.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame had the the highest +/- of anyone on either side. 21 pts on 9/14 shooting.

Good shit

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think it's more that, after 6 months in MIN winter, he's seeing silicone under club lights for the first time in a while...and he was drinking like a fish.

 

[blue9]

Who besides Miami and GSW?

The Bulls, Blazers, Celtics, Lakers, Sonics, and Pistons, would smash everyone.

I didn't even mention that Denver team with Laphonso Ellis or the Shaq and Penny Magic.

Don't forget Utah and Phoenix!

Ahhh. Broke his jaw.

 

[blue9]

That’s fine but I just feel the 90s was extremely overrated in terms of player talent. For example I don’t think Scottie Pippen is a top 5 SF in this era if he played in this era. The point guards and power forwards are better today on the whole too.

Hahahaha! The FUCK!?!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Hahahaha! The FUCK!?!

Scottie Pippen isn’t better than LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, or Giannis. He has more hardware but if I’m starting a franchise I would take those guys over him.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Scottie Pippen isn’t better than LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, or Giannis. He has more hardware but if I’m starting a franchise I would take those guys over him.

I'd put him between 2 and 3 on that list, just off the top of my head. Giannis and PG need to do something before they get to be on that list.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

The lines are also so blurred these days. A couple of those guys play better at PF than SF.

 

[tester551]

Why did LMA only play 4 minutes? Was he injured?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'd put him between 2 and 3 on that list, just off the top of my head. Giannis and PG need to do something before they get to be on that list.

I’m just looking at a pure talent level. Scottie was a phenomenal defender but he doesn’t have half of the offensive repertoire as the guys I listed.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Why did LMA only play 4 minutes? Was he injured?

Nah he jus succ

 

[Chris Craig]

Why did LMA only play 4 minutes? Was he injured?

Because Lebron wanted to win

 

[BrianFromWA]

Why did LMA only play 4 minutes? Was he injured?

They said gimpy knee, but who knows. Horford only got a bit of run, and people actually like him...

 

[blue9]

Scottie Pippen isn’t better than LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, or Giannis. He has more hardware but if I’m starting a franchise I would take those guys over him.

He's not better than LBJ, but he's MOST DEFINITELY better than Durant, Leonard, George, and Giannis.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He's not better than LBJ, but he's MOST DEFINITELY better than Durant, Leonard, George, and Giannis.

Pippen only is a 7x all-star (over a 16 or 17 year career) and for his career averaged 16/6/5 albeit an all time defender but I’m sorry I’m not taking him over the men I listen if I’m starting a franchise

 

[AFully22]

I just bought tickets to the Houston @ Portland game March 20th. Between the CP3 late lay up fiasco and Dantoni being a punk in the ASG I’m sort of expecting a Dame revenge game.

Plus, fuck the rockets am I right?

 

[Shaboid]

He's not better than LBJ, but he's MOST DEFINITELY better than Durant, Leonard, George, and Giannis.

I would say that obviously LeBron is, and probably Durant is better too. He is arguably in the same league as Leonard and George. To early to say with Giannis, in my opinion.
