Have you guys become so jaded that you're not even remotely excited about Middleton getting a shot at the 3 pt contest or Jabari playing in a marquee event in which he'll be featured as a 20 year old?

I like everything except the actual All Star Game. Just not exciting to watch in my opinion. Also the Slam Dunk Contest is hit or miss. Hard to create new dunks after so many years. I enjoy the rest of it though.

Looking forward to watching everything except the All-Star game as well.

The three point contest should be great.

Jabari will be fun to watch in that rising stars game. Maybe he will shoot a 3 without the voice of Kidd in his head

Over/under 8 Jabari dunks?

After his 12th dunk the commentators will start to question if that is all he can do

Let them say it, his baseline jumper at 2:45 left tonight might have sealed the deal.

Edit: and if he hadn't miss that follow up dunk right afterward ...

I could see Jabari putting on a show during the game and everyone being reminded what kind of talent he actually is.

For the record, I think there is already a lot to like about Jabari offensively. That mid range has come along nice. The amount of dunks he will have during the game will be hilarious though

Dude is a borderline freakish athlete with skills to boot. Rusty skills, but skills nonetheless. In an up and down game with zero defense he's gonna light it up imo. It's the perfect stage for him to get his name out there again.

More excited about Jabari UNLEASHED. No defense and no one holding him back (if there is someone holding him back).

A few nice jumpers and some crazy ass dunks is what I expect to see.

For Mids I hope he gets passed the first round, kinda worried he will clank out of the first. If he makes it to the final 3 that's already a big win for me.

Don't forget to add "Lasry participating in the Celebrity Game" to the title!

Devin Booker is my sleeper pick to win the 3-pt contest. I think the kid has Ray Allen potential.

Idk why I thought the rising stars game was Saturday. Kind of a back to back for Jabari now. Still hope he puts on a show, but he probably takes it easy tonight.

So what would we make of it if Parker goes out, dominates, and looks like a different player?

I want to see him take threes.
