[Fairly-Hard]

Has a reserve ever won All Star MVP? The answer to that question is a resounding YES!
Bill Sharman (1955), Bob Pettit (1956), Adrian Smith (1966), Hal Greer (1968), Lenny Wilkens (1971), Bob Lanier (1974), Randy Smith (1978), Nate Archibald (1981), Mitch Richmond (1995), Glen Rice (1997), Shaquille O'Neal 2 times (2004 and 2009)

12 times it has happened.

Yes i had to look it up. I honestly had no idea.

Nice to see Dame win.

The Dunk contest and 3-Pt Shootout sure have lost a lot of luster though.

A guy who was G-League and a group of partial replacements. I miss the days of Bird or Reggie talking trash to anyone else participating where really big names were competing.

An even more crazy stat is Tom Chambers. He didn't even make it initially, and was the MVP.

[SIeepwalker]

That's some Larry Bird type shit

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Huge props!

Now we need to hear from KRS-One

Now we need to hear from KRS-One

KRS-One is not anywhere on the same level as Chuch D from Public Enemy.

 

[Chris Craig]

1 out of 2 ain’t bad FAMS!

It is when you didn't take Dame.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

KRS-One is not anywhere on the same level as Chuck D from Public Enemy.

Well seems like SOMEONE needs to get some Edutainment By All Means Necessary

Go for it Dame.

MacCLung vs Shae in the dunk contest would have been sick

Maybe they would have teamed up to jump over each other.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I dvr'ed the All star events cause I had some stuff to do and got through it in like an hour ish cause the 1st event is mildly interesting and I think could be better if reworked. The 3 point contest for me is the most fun cause it showcases a skill and I would like to see the BEST shooters like it used to be cause it still fine but not as good as it once was. Then we have the Trash contest err I mean the Dunk contest and I think it might be best to do away with it for a year or two and come back with a reworked format and a way to either lure the BEST to do it or maybe have NBA vs Street ballers or something but right now it's a shell of what it was years ago.

What's your BEEF?

 

[THE HCP]

The funny thing is the only action i ever had as a kid was him with 3 slits on his yellow shirt but he became too popular and i became a hater

That was a super unexpected question from the media to Lillard during all star weekend.

And that reporter who asked, scored some points with Dame I promise you. He doesn’t like talking hoops. It’s all boxing, wrestling, movies and music with this kid.

 

[THE HCP]

Up in Seattle, ‘88?

 

[Whyachi]

I think LeBron will get All-Star MVP.

you gotta respect your elders, and being he's stuck on a crummy team that might not make the playoffs, at least help the old guy win a big shiny trophy.

Dame is an elder now.
Dame might not make the playoffs.
Dame needs a shiny trophy.

There that's settled now.

 

[DDolla]

Dame for MVP!!! He would have won it 2 years ago if not for Giannis being a ball hog. But I think they will give it to Lebron as he is the new NBA Scoring leader

Of course he will. This is all ego driven for him at this point. He will probably try to break the ASG scoring record

he only played one game since breaking the scoring record and that was only because he wanted to play in the ASG for more accolades

He will probably shut it down for the year if it's too difficult for lakers to make the play in.

He's Stat Bron at this point

87, you jabroni

 

[Shogun X]

KRS-One is not anywhere on the same level as Chuch D from Public Enemy.

Of course he is. Unless you think he's wayb higher, and you'll be right

Part time sucker.

 

[theprunetang]

That

So, basically like watching an anime fight scene?

They didn't even give Dame the starting job (tho I understand the logic for Morant), so why would that even be an option?

Reserves can win MVP in the all star game.

That's not the reason I said that.

[HailBlazers]

So good.

 

[DDolla]

Let’s Go Dame

 

[Natebishop3]

Yeah.

Shaedon would have torched him though.

I don't know if I would agree..... Shaedon is insanely athletic, and he has vicious dunks in games, but what creativity has he really shown? Vince Carter showed a ton of creativity in live games. McClung pulled out some dunks that I had never seen before and he had the Brent Barry factor working for him.

 

[handiman]

Wait, McClung is 6'2"? Did they measure him while jumping??
