Event 2023 NBA ALL STAR WEEKEND - FEBRUARY 17-19 2023 (FRIDAY - SUNDAY ) TNT

[Rastapopoulos]

3 point contestants announced: Tatum, Huerter, Herro, Haliburton, Hield, Lillard, Simons, Markkanen

Looking forward to this.

My money's on Huerter. Well, it might be if I had any. I think Anfernee could do well (in future, obvs) because of his quick release.

 

[Chris Craig]

How did he almost kill himself?

Because he hasn't played in forever. He ran, dunked it, and then had to go the sideline and lay down.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Miz almost won the celebrity game for team Ryan with a half court shot, but it was just past the buzzer.

DK Metcalf the MVP... SEAHAWKS!!!

 

[Chris Craig]

This Rising Star Tournament is sad and wanting without Shaedon in it.

 

[Hoopguru]

How is it that SLC can get an all star game but Portland not even considered?

 

[Shaboid]

DJ Metcalf the MVP... SEAHAWKS!!!

How many dunks did he have?

 

[Chris Craig]

Lost count.

Because the Blazers don't get no respect.

Obviously because there's a drug problem in Portland. Can't risk the creme de le creme of the a NBA coming to town and getting hooked on toradol.

 

[Chris Craig]

All star Friday over. Pretty boring.

 

[Chris Craig]

I hope Shaedon returns after the break and destroys.

 

[MickZagger]

Why was my post moved to this thread? This is bullshit!

 

[MickZagger]

I’m enjoying his trajectory FAMZ

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Can someone explain to me what a Mac McClung is? And will he be fighting Bald Bull or Glass Joe?

Because the NBA took the State of Oregon to court over sports gambling back in the 90s and have never forgiving us?

 

[THE HCP]

On vacation and am going to watch all this when I get home….but who the hell is Ryan who has a team named after him?

But there’s new leaders in the NBA these days. It used to be about lack of hotels supposedly. Now I’m guessing because much of the US thinks Portlands a shit hole.

Dead serious the past few times I’ve gone on vacation and people asked where I’m from and said Portland, you could tell by reading them that they were judging.

Wouldn't Oregon be the one with the axe to grind? If the NBA did it.

Portland isn’t in Oregon? Am I missing something?

Always is lol

 

[Strenuus]

It's possible I am getting shit backwards lol.

Regardless, I doubt that's the reason.

The state is essentially ran by Portland.

I fucking love it. A few years ago when people I worked with around the country knew I was from Portland, they would talk about how amazing the city is. Now they look at me and ask if I feel safe there? It’s hilarious.

Governor of the Jazz. He was the head of one of the celebrity teams.

Portland isn’t really a good representation of Oregon imo. Portland is to Oregon what Austin is to Texas.

Yeah I thought about that. Also, we pissed off Stern when he accused Paul of circumventing the cap when we signed Dudley, I believe?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I think it’s simply about money.
I honestly don’t think an issue with gambling 35 years ago and a rash of protests supporting BLM are making a huge impact.
Now if the city gets a wnba team things might change for the better?
