Notice Sharpe to not participate in the dunk contest

[Sloth]

Only part of at All-Star festivities I ever watch is this and the 3 pt contest; never bother with the game itself.

Have faith he will represent us well!

 

[BassPlaya]

Black coffee....and a pouch of Chessman cookies.

Now there's a freaking dunk contest.

 

[Hoopguru]

I want Rim Shaped-y to go out there with a real laid back persona, no enthusiasm or fake hype, and bring the roof down! No fancy shit or another player prop.
He needs to wear a shirt that say's "Rim Shaed-y".....lol

 

[AldoTrapani]

Hopefully this guy isn’t just known for dunking like Gerald Green

I loved this part of the article.

That relationship between Sharpe and Lillard ties back to his first pre-draft workout in Portland. Sharpe sent a text to his parents of a photo making the rounds on social media of Lillard staring at him from the sidelines while he was taking a shot.

“I don’t even know if he left the gym yet. But he had called us and the sound in his voice when he was talking about the workout and just being at Portland, the atmosphere,” said Julia. “I don’t know if he talked to Dame or just having him on the sideline watching the workout, he had fallen in love with this team.”

Julia remembers watching a game on TV earlier this season when Lillard called Sharpe over and put his arm around him while giving him advice.

“After the game, we’re like ‘Shaedon, what happened? We saw Dame pull you over and say something to you,’” said Julia. Lillard had given him some direction for when play started up again. When it did, Sharpe scored six straight points.

Hopefully you'll come up with some new material

According to Casey, shaedon has declined the invite.

Come on man

Seriously?

Seriously?

Yup. Just said on his podcast with Brooke.

Apparently Sharpe wants to use that time to take a break and work on his game.

Smh

Damn

 

[RR7]

that sucks

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I dunno. The dunk contest is overrated and boring. I don’t blame him for not participating, especially since he’s not in the futures game. I’d rather he rest.

That's probably why. Got snubbed and said FU

 

[illmatic99]

Maybe he's got wind that he's getting traded and doesn't want the extra attention?

Had the same thought but didn’t want to think about that possibility.

I don’t mind it. If Shae thought he was going there to show his full game and then was told it was just the dunking and he wants to be known as an all around player not just a dunker, then it makes sense.

[Hoopguru]

When he didn't make rising stars I figured he wouldn't participate. Basically telling them to fuck off.

That's a sound decision. Good for him.

That's actually a very difficult and mature decision for a rookie.

Props!

 

[tlongII]

Disappointing, but I'm not mad. I'd love to see him compete in the dunk contest, but I know what kind of hops he has so it doesn't really matter.

 

[Shaboid]

Save the highlight dunks for real games. Hell yes!

It's like college all over again...

Yes?!?

 

[AldoTrapani]

God I knew this dude doesn’t have no fire

 

[MickZagger]

God I knew this dude doesn’t have no fire

pfffffft

Because he doesn’t want to participate in a lame ass dunk contest?

 

[MickZagger]

Maybe it’s just me. But I don’t give two shits about anything All Star related in any sport. Haven’t made it a point to watch one in probably 20 years.

I prefer games that matter.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Maybe Simons told him it’s fun and all but right now you need to sharpen your game. There is always next year. Plenty of time to do the dunk contest. Simons didn’t do it his first year.

He’s a quitter. Just like he did at Kentucky

 

[MickZagger]

electing not to be in a stupid dunk contest isn’t quitting.

you try WAy too hard
