Why is that POS draymond on air?

He must lay the beef to silver all the time to get away with his bull and still not only be in the league but get on air.

He was pandering to JT too. Probably wants to come here and play with him. Which would make me vomit.

Luka and Joker going through the game really half-assed/not taking it seriously !

Can't blame them really. Aside from the Jays scoring, the only point of interest to me is seeing so many F ups on the court (esp from the West)

Embarrassing to see so many sloppy turnovers and missed lay ups.

I love sports and I love movies. But, I absolutely despise entertainment award shows and all-star games. I won’t watch any of them because you suddenly realize how pompous and entitled these folks are. They love to celebrate and talk about themselves and have no idea how unlikeable they become in these situations. On to Chicago.

Something tells me that you're just mad that Jaylen had a bad showing.


I'm not impressed by the best athletes in the world jumping really high, no.

Brown was awful and deserved to lose.

The competition just isn't innovative and nothing happens we haven't seen a hundred times already.

Cancel it.


That's a wack take.

You seem like the kind of dude who isn't impressed by anything lol.


I'd be impressed if you could do it.

Not that one of the top could hundred players in the world can.

Everything about Dame rubs me the wrong way, prob will win MVP but should be JB or Hali

Dame would be one of the greatest if defense is optional in basketball.

Glad Haliburton didn't get ASG MVP.

This Indy crowd was absolutely pathetic all weekend. Constant booing and jeering (not just JB)

They shouldn't host the All Star Game again imo.

They should do away with the all of Saturday night stuff, and instead make the Game better.

1st - Put home court advantage in the finals on the line
2nd - Give out awards for the following
- Best in game dunker
- Best in game shooter
- Best in game passer
- Best in game defender.

Just award the championship to the team that scores the most cumulative points in the All-Star game. That'll make it competitive and it'll get the fans to vote in droves.

Let’s just do it all as East vs West teams. An East vs West dunk contest and 3 point contest. Players for the conference decide participants so best options compete and so stars feel pressure from peers to compete as well. For Skills do same thing with 2-3 teams from each conference. I’m not sure if I’m in favor of home court being determined by it, but if all 3 of the Saturday night events, the Rising Stars, and the all-star game itself go into it then maybe it’s worth determining one extra home game vs. away game.

Game was extra terrible lol. Even my Mom texted me to say it was stupid. But...

JT met Bird for the 1st time:

Read on Twitter


Both Jays played well. Crowd wanted Hali to get the MVP but Jaylen had the 2nd most points with 36.

And here's a video of Bam Adebayo babysitting Deuce:

And no Celtics were harmed! I'll take it.
