Anybody see the Mitchell highlights from the rising stars game last night? Unbelievable. Somewhere Rick Bonnell is tweeting about how we could’ve drafted him.

Mitchell also wins the dunk contest
Booker wins the 3 point contest

Could have had both

I’m mildly depressed we didn’t draft him. Sigh. Oh well.

I don't care what anyone says, I still like the dunk contest.

Dennis Smith Jr. had the dunk of the night IMO and Mitchell's Vince Carter impression was lame. Oladipo's first one would have been nuts if he landed it... I know they try to keep things rolling, but I think the judges should allow a few more attempts if it's something really cool.

Dennis Smith Jr. did have the dunk of the night, and the double toss off the backboard by Nance was the second best. However, Mitchell was the most consistent dunker of the night

Heres something for anyone who was depressed last night seeing Mitchell win the dunk contest.

So after Booker won the 3pt, Mitchell won the Dunk, what would have to happen today to push Cho over the edge and inflict self harm....Klay/Giannis winning co-MVP? Who else did we pass on?

Just hit me that neither the Lakers nor the Clippers have a representative in the All-Star game tonight. Just Kuzma, LouWill, and Tobias Harris in earlier events for the host teams.

This all-stars game seems much better because they actually play some defense.

Kemba has looked good in his limited time so far. Hope he gets more run in the 2nd half.
