Notice Sharpe to not participate in the dunk contest

[RR7]

Rest and relax. The mental fatigue must be brutal.

But that's not working on his game. That's resting.

As much as we talk about teams/players being trash........all-star weekend is much more deserving. Who cares if he partakes in the dunk contest? The whole weekend is unwatchable.

Then he shouldn't have committed in the first place. I don't like him dropping out "last minute" but at least now I don't have to watch it at all. Watching grown men cosplay in superhero outfits and then miss the same dunk ten times in a row just isn't very fun.

 

[Strenuus]

It was fun reading really bad takes for a page lmao.

My take is: he's his own person who makes his own decision. Deal with it.

 

[Hoopguru]

Didn't Dame drop out of the 3 point contest when he was snubbed as an all star game participant?

I do wonder if let's take out the jaded reason I mentioned in a earlier post about not being named to the Rook / Soph game but maybe there is a reason maybe someone else has brought up and did not see but maybe the reason is this.

Maybe Billups is going to start giving Sharpe more minutes 25 to 30 since good chance Hart might be traded so maybe he knows this and is focusing on being ready for the opportunity.

What is he going to do in 2 days to get himself ready for more minutes exactly?

Unpack his bags in Brooklyn?

BbIQ is part of the game. A rested alert mind can improve the BBIQ.
Relaxing and watching tape can improve his BBIQ.

Bannable post.

He can't watch tape in Salt Lake City? He's needed for, what, like 2 hours there.

I was going with, he wants to wait and win it for Canada next season

You really think he would fly in, dunk and fly home and not hang out?
As much as i wanted to watch him, is rather have him watching tape than flying to a dunk contest.

No, but I also don't think he's going to be "working on his game" the whole time he'd otherwise be in SLC. If he is going to stay at home because watching film is so important, then I imagine he'd be able to watch film, go dunk, and watch more film.

And since he did that we haven't been able to trade him.

Maybe he just doesn't want to go to SLC. I lived there 13 years ago and have never had any desire to go back.

19 year olds get distracted easily. Less distractions at home.

“Hey rook, come have dinner with us.”

“Hey rook hit the club with us. Its an 18 and over dejavu!”

“hey rook,”
“Hey rook”
“Hey rook”


Non of that at home. Just sayin this is a mature decision.

Good grief the tin foil hats some of you wear.

@Bingo Bango is this you?

 

[riverman]

Shit happens...Shaedon might have his eyes on some time alone with someone special ...he's 19 .hangin' out with the dudes in Utah might not be how he wants to use his break

 

[Shaboid]

Obviously he is taking after Dame, drinking like a fish, and Utah doesn't have the good liquor.

Id like a stiff mormon please, with an olive, on the rocks.

"Shaedon Sharpe rumored to be going to rehab during all-star break."

Please keep your desires for "stiff mormon's" to yourself, sir.

I heard he smokes Players Light too, like all Canadians.

Sharpe's production has not warranted the minutes he already gets.

Not sure why there is any backlash over him pulling out of a dunk contest. The stars game would have helped his game. He is not playing. He decided to do something that would help his game.

The kid is going to be fine.

Sharpe has been just fine, and instead of collecting cobwebs on the bench for a lottery team, he should be able to figure stuff out on the court for a lottery team.

I find it laughable that he's going to actually be a better player by skipping the slam dunk contest. It's not like there's a surgery or something that he's going to get a turbo boost.
