EYLive 5,188 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I didn't think they could add gimmicks to the 3point contest... yet here we are. And I hope the dunkers make more than 40% of their attempts. Just once this year, please. Kenny Smith could also do us all a favor by not screaming "Lets go home" a billion times. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many DPOY? Did he win Rookie of the Year (don't cheat)? Clown show bro. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RUSF18 3,812 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Jones was better early, Gordon was better later. IMO Gordon’s second to last dunk was pretty average (given a 50) so the right guy won, but the wrong guy won the final round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s far enough out we are spending the night in a hotel after and there was a Wisconsin middle school wrestling team here who were so awfully behaved the cops had to come.

trader jake 1,379 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Enjoyed the Skills Challenge. How talented the bigs like Adebayo and Sabonis are now is truly crazy. The fact the 3pt contest could add a wrinkle that really worked was surprising and the fact the win-loss came down to the very last shot was cool to watch. The Latvian Laser? Great nickname, but Booker and Hield put on a show. Last night was the best collection of dunks at this event...ever. Whatever dunk you put #4 overall on the night could have easily been the highlight clip most years. Then it happened. Dwayne Wade did Aaron Gordon dirty for his teammate. Right up there with Dominique getting robbed in 1988 against Jordan. Any surprise both took place in Chicago? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capella 29,461 Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Last night reminded me that the Magic traded Sabonis and Oladipo for Serge Ibaka, who stayed for half a year before going to Toronto to win a title. 1 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

encaitar 1,873 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I think they should expand this going forward. Maybe make each quarter the first to 40? The game was very intense at the end with the defense getting back involved. This was easily the best ASG I can remember in a long time... maybe ever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer 487 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The first 3 quarters had tons of action up and down the court, just like a regular all star game. Very entertaining. This is the first all star game that my kids have watched, and they loved seeing all of their favorites on the same court. Then it turned into a regular NBA game and the last 45 minutes were full of fouls, free throws, and replays. Awful ending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
