The Official NBA All-Star Weekend Thread.....

It's funny that the US team had to poach both Clarkson and Karl Anthony Towns from the World team so they wouldn't be totally outclassed...

They were both born in the US..

It's halftime at the Rising Stars Challenge. Has the event primer been posted?

I honestly didn't know that Porzingis has Curry/Dame range.

 

[jlprk]

They said Porzingas and Kevin Durant in the same sentence a couple of times. First time I ever considered that possibility.

These guys produce chips on their shoulders. No matter how slight they may be. But ok. Then he won't play for us because we are Portland.

Have you ever been to OKC?

Yeah I'll take hipster heaven over that.

 

[PDXFonz]

Sounds like Vonleh is in Toronto to do his thing/support his teammate.

 

[PDXFonz]

Have you guys seen this before? This really is one of the greatest dunks I've ever seen...



Are we going to see anything better than that tonight?

As with most people here, I'm pulling for Thrill to take the trophy home for BMore.

You must have read the "life of a professional dunker" article that was recently published.

Yeah, I'm much more impressed with the stuff Kilganon pulls off (scorpion, 2-handed elbow reverse) than anything I've seen from Dupuy.

Cold in Toronto. Everyone is freaking out.

You get to go to the event speeds?

 

[speeds]

You get to go to the event speeds?

No, figures I'd move out West two years before Toronto finally gets the game.

 

[PDXFonz]

Another member of the crew showing out in Toronto. Sounds like he's a judge for the D-League dunk contest.

This NBA talent thing they are doing is whack.

Kenny nailed it "These are hidden hobbies, not hidden talents. Norris Cole (Piano) is the only one with talent."

 

[Chris Craig]

Mike Muscala needs to keep his day job...put the mic down mike...put it down

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow!

Jeremy Evans is a great artist though.

 

[Chris Craig]

Wow!

Jeremy Evans is a great artist though.

Yeah definetly deserved a 10

I stopped paying attention. Did they announce the winners? Did Jeremy win it?

 

[PDXFonz]

 

[theprunetang]

Ahh. Claver Clave showing some love.

 

[PDXFonz]

I stopped paying attention. Did they announce the winners? Did Jeremy win it?

They just announced it and Evans indeed won. Ran away with it as a matter of fact.

[PDXFonz]

I wonder who they are going to pair CJ up with in the Skills comp. Hopefully they try to make the teams as fair as possible.

 

[HailBlazers]

Guys a really good artist.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[PDXFonz]

Guess there are no teams. CJ starts off facing Jordan Clarkson in the first round.

 

[Sinobas]

I wonder why they have big men in the skills competition? Seems really stupid, it's all about ball handing, agility, speed, and shooting.

 

[PDXFonz]

Meyers Leonard is a shoe in for the Skills comp some day if they keep the big man aspect to it.
