The Official NBA All-Star Weekend Thread

Anyone watch today's Celebrity Game and Rising Stars Challenge?

The Rising Stars game was slightly more watchable than recent years, but still largely a snooze-fest.

All Star Saturday is always the wildcard of the weekend.

The first day sucks so I didn't bother.

The new format interests me.

The "celebrity" game was garbage and I bailed on that in no time. I tuned in for Ben & Lauri (and Bojan) though, but even that was a struggle.
I'm really not an All Star Weekend fan in general though. Even the slam dunk comp doesn't really do it for me. Bring on the 3 Point contest!

I watched two minutes of the celebrity game, then f***ing Bieber checked in and I checked out.

The celebrity game was crap would rather watch Casey Donovan, Bernard Tonic and Anthony Mundine hoop than Justin Bieber.
Only like three point contest and main game itself.

In All Star Weekend news from other continents, Ryan Broekhoff won 3-pt contest at the VTB All Star game in Russia.

So many clanks in this three point contest.

They need specialist three point shooters only to be entered not players who think they are.

Have they installed NBL rims in Staples Center? This is awful.

At this level the rims should barely even factor into it. Should be swish city.
Needs more Euros.

Yeah, like I said need shooters not players who think they are and Euros fit the bill.

How cringe worthy is the PCness of this musical interlude? Time to switch off the TV.

What actually was that performance? Wasn't paying too much attention.

Looked like a poetry slam

Manu best you don't know, I'm worse off after listening to it.

So a poorer remake of a 2000 dunk wins the 2018 contest. Meh.

Great call on Dinwiddie. There were some nice dunks today in the contest. Liked a couple of Nance's (the 2nd throw off the background and the windmill from out of bounds), DSJ's between the legs was great and Mitchell had a lot of power on his dunks and got most of them on the first attempt.

A lot of "8" or "9" type dunks, which was better than last year where barely anyone was able to complete their attempts.
