February 20, 20223 yr This girl where I'm at just asked "Is this the Olympics?" and followed it up with "I think this is the Olympics"

February 20, 20223 yr Yeah this is all-time bad and there have been some really bad ones lately. It's like they're all trying to do shit that they either didn't practice or can't do. Cole Anthony dunking in Timbs was like one of the better ones.
February 20, 20223 yr You cant tell me Giannis couldnt do something more badass than what we saw tonight.

He was so clean with everything and did it all on the first attempt. Edited February 20, 20223 yr by ztejas

It was like with MJ where everything he did just looked cool and different even if some of the other guys were technically jumping as high. You're right. That came to me after I commented. I think it was still the best individual performance - especially in context. Gordon and Lavine were both insane but they had 16 years of craftsmanship to borrow from that Vince didn't.
February 20, 20223 yr I’m glad I quit watching the all star game and the events years ago. Feels like the only time you enjoy the all star game is when you’re in junior high into high school. My son is 8th grade and loves it and watched all the events with his friends then they went outside and lowered the goal and had a dunk contest. I think as we get older we just get cranky af and don’t like anything that compares to our childhood. I literally walked into the living room last night and said “why are you watching this? The dunk contest sucks now. You want to watch a real one? Here let me find it on YouTube” holy fuck I’m that old dad now that shits on everything. I’m my dad when he said “dunking? That’s not a skill, here let me show you Bob Cousy and you’ll see real basketball fundamentals or let me show you the miken drill”.. just face it guys, we’re cranky old men.

Yes, I am definitely a cranky old man and I can shake my fist at the clouds with the best of them. But last night was fun until the slam dunk competition. My son (8th grader also) and I enjoyed watching the skills competition and the three-point shootout. And I still enjoy the slam dunk competition some years. I appreciate the props and silliness of it if the dunks are done well. The Gordon/Levine duel was only a few years ago and we both enjoyed the hell out of that. Yesterday was just awful because of the misses and lack of drama at the end over who would win.

February 20, 20223 yr The fact that Luka not only isn’t a starter but not a Top 3 vote getter is the same reason Matt Stafford has one Pro Bowl: people are fucking morons.
February 20, 20223 yr The way they have it laid out now shows all star games are dumb af and they have to make up a new version for the nba2k22 crowd to stay interested. West vs East just isn’t cool anymore.
February 21, 20223 yr Cool to see Jarret Allen playing in this game while its in Cleveland. Hopefully he gets some decent run. Team Lebron seems like they should run Team Durant out of the gym, but all star games rarely work out that way.
February 21, 20223 yr Author someone is going to pull a muscle trying to play again after this interminable half time show.

February 21, 20223 yr I wasn't able to watch any. Were they just letting him shoot? I was watching the 96 ASG the other day and it's crazy how straight up they were playing. It wasn't normal intensity D but it was like 85% throughout. Now it's 3Q of dicking around and a Q of basketball (not that I really care).
February 21, 20223 yr Yeah I mean this is stupid. Everyone's just standing around. https://streamable.com/ad79il
February 21, 20223 yr lol @ this “kid from Akron” narrative some are running with on Twitter but referencing it to Steph curry, who evidently was born in Akron. I’m guessing most of us just assumed he was from Charlotte.

February 21, 20223 yr 9 hours ago, ztejas said: Yeah I mean this is stupid. Everyone's just standing around. https://streamable.com/ad79il Agree with your point about how the all star game has changed. I think the NBA has made some changes (each quarter has a winner, Elam ending) that have helped. I don't think this video is an accurate picture of the game last night. Steph was in the midst of one of the greatest shooting displays we've ever seen. With each make, he would increase the distance/difficulty of the next shot. After the last make in the video his next attempt was from half court. The standing around in the video is the guys caught up in the moment. Outside of that I think they gave decent effort.
