Re: Why is Dame "considering the three point contest?"

Can HCP chime in on this, what do the players and coaches think of guys like Clownzano and Jaynes? Surely they think they're jokes like we do, right? Hope they don't put any stock into what they say.

Reminded me of how bad Rudy got shafted during his dunk contest.

Putting him in all five events sure seems like the league is setting him up to be a major face of the Association going forward.

So shooting a few threes mid season is the difference between winning a playoff series? Maybe he should take all practices off too.

It would take an army of millions to hold me back as I hulk out over that news.

completely unrealistic. The most we'd get back is Nick Young and the right to swap 2nd round picks in 2021.

why? I'd love to see Dame and Wall go head to head in every event

Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

I think this is a mistake. Lillard can dunk, but he's not a spectacular dunker. I think the other guys will outshine him. I also think he runs the risk of over-exposure.

Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

whatever Lillard's chances I like the trend towards a little more star power. in future years might end up luring LeBron, Griffin again etc.

Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

I don't get the idea of a pro athlete being "tired" by participating in All Star weekend.

Yep, these events can't be more tiring than even a single practice.

Re: Why is Dame "considering the three point contest?"

I disagree, 5 minutes after trade Kobe would be arrested for another rape and we'd be left with nothing.

If it's Wall, it wouldn't be Dame, so they wouldn't go head to head in every event.

That said, Wall is not a good three point shooter, so I highly doubt he would be in the three point contest.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

He will be out of dunk contest in first round and probably play 5 min tops in all star game. The only tiring part of weekend will be 30min in sophomore game and they don't play defense so its like a light practice. The most draining part of the weekend is all the media crap and you do that no matter what.

 

[KingSpeed]

Re: Why is Dame "considering the three point contest?"

Sounds like it's not happening?

[Agent Aaron] Goodwin said Lillard is especially motivated for the Three Point contest.

"The three-point contest is more important than anything else,'' Goodwin said. "He wants to shoot.''

...

Goodwin says Lillard "would do" the three-point contest but said he has not been named to the competition.

 

[crowTrobot]

Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

and probably play 5 min tops in all star game

I don't think there's any realistic chance he plays less than 5, unless it is by request. 5-10 is possible if the team ends up with 6 guards and he lays an egg in the first half, but I wouldn't bet on that. Likely will play somewhere between 10-20 varying with Paul's status.

Didnt Aldridge play 4min his first year?

 

[riverman]

Re: Why is Dame "considering the three point contest?"

If nothing else, he'll get some practice in on his 3pt shot and he looks like he could use the practice about now!

Really though, this should be where Wes gets an invite, Wes just keeps getting snubbed for these events.

Watching TNT for the announcement. I get the feeling they are going to make me watch the whole show before telling me

Yay lillard is in all 3 and top pick for team hill.
