So when does the process begin for Portland to start building a new stadium? If the expansion is going to happen sooner than later shouldn’t it start soon?

The other problem is that the Dunk contest typically does not have the biggest stars in it. Why do I want to watch Mac McClung win the dunk contest? I really couldn't care less.
Kobe never did it.
LeBron never did it.
The two best dunk contests were the Jordan contest and the Vince Carter contest. People still talk about those. Nobody outside of Portland cares about Simons winning.
Oh damn you're right... when he was a rookie. He never went back though.Kobe particaipated. My first memeory of Kobe was his between the leg dunk
They did that with the shooting stars thing... I'm really not interested.If you are watching pros make 3 of five from half court I'm pretty certain that would draw some interest. Seriously what regular guy off the street is doing that?

That team competition they got rid of a long time ago was one of the best competitions during All-Star week. A current NBA player, A retired NBA player, and a WNBA player.They should honestly have a retired player 3pt contest. I'd love to see Dirk, Ray Allen, and Reggie battle it out.
Because I posted something about the home run derby being more interesting than the dunk contest.It would be interesting if it were a 3-Pt contest, Dunk Contest, and Skills contest together. But you’d also probably see a lot of the current players in the dunk contest cause the OG’s aren’t dunking anymore.
Yes I know this is the baseball thread… Why are we talking about this here?
What team would Carmelo Anthony appear for? Could it be the Blazers? Dame, Melo, WNBA player from the Fire.
Melo, Chauncey, WNBA player
Melo, Knicks player, WNBA player
Kiyan Anthony, Carmelo Anthony, WNBA player
I miss when Portland use to have this type of aura before the riots
His opinion on the riots might be just as off base as some other guys opinion about baseball being 'on its deathbed' but we have to read about both on this thread!Dude…… you don’t think before you type huh? Where are you from, where did you grow up?
Fuck outta here “before the riots”!
Well played amigo….. but my baseball opinion is an educated well thought out statement. Filled with checkable facts.

North East Portland. Born and raised. Portland reputation was amazing before Covid/riots.. now we’re an afterthought even though it’s bullshit fear mongering but you can’t help perception big bro.. it’s why Salt Lake City passes us up on mlb expansion
So why didn’t we get a team BEFORE 2020?North East Portland. Born and raised. Portland reputation was amazing before Covid/riots.. now we’re an afterthought even though it’s bullshit fear mongering but you can’t help perception big bro.. it’s why Salt Lake City passes us up on mlb expansion
Because MLB was using expansion cities as leverage for getting Tampa and Oakland new stadiums. No expansion was getting awarded until those situations played out. Covid hit and kicked the can.So why didn’t we get a team BEFORE 2020?
Agree with this ... perception is reality and as much as we might know that it's false, it won't matter to a lot of people out there. You hope that the ones making these decisions know better and actually do their due diligence!North East Portland. Born and raised.

Takes time. Think about Waco Texas. What do you immediately think.Agree with this ... perception is reality and as much as we might know that it's false, it won't matter to a lot of people out there. You hope that the ones making these decisions know better and actually do their due diligence!
Please bring your 'checkable facts' because all I see on here are you claiming the same thing over and over.Well played amigo….. but my baseball opinion is an educated well thought out statement. Filled with checkable facts. Bring it Mr. Baseball!
Agreed ... gotta think these leagues/owners making billion $$$ decisions know better but sometimes you have to wonder if that's even the case.Takes time. Think about Waco Texas. What do you immediately think.
Water under the bridge and a bunch of positive things have to happen for one major negative thing to be removed from the immediate perception.
I think it’s BECAUSE they are making decisions about $billions is why they look at perceived situations. I know if it was my money I certainly would.Agreed ... gotta think these leagues/owners making billion $$$ decisions know better but sometimes you have to wonder if that's even the case.
