It’s LaMelo’s world.

We’re all just living in it.

Melo in foul trouble during a pick up game. Nice to see some things never change

It's really dumb LaMelo played in the rising stars game. Dude should have definitely sat that one out.

Dyson Daniels seemed to do alright, I think he will be a decent pick

LaMelo’s definitely become my favorite character of Season 75. I hope Silver doesn’t write him onto a new “team” in two years, but the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of it. Regardless, Sunday’s episode should be fun.

If your goal is to make this a theme of every one of your posts in every single thread it’s going to get real old, real fast.

The fact that it's valid should be far more of an issue to you than the act of it being pointed out.

You can safely assume the board now knows your opinion that our games are rigged and/or the league is pushing Melo out of Charlotte. Please chill with the repetitive posting across threads about that

It's really more that one is related to the other. LaMelo won't have any interest in staying with a team not allowed to succeed. He also didn't need to play in last night's debacle of a contest. The format has been changed repeatedly and this isn't the right formula. Rookies vs. Sophomores was best.

When's the last time a player passed up more money after his initial rookie contract to want or demand playing somewhere else? Probably an obvious answer but I can't recall.

i thought last nights games were much more entertaining than the old format. few tweaks needed, such as ditch the gleague guys to add 4 more nba guys. never let james worthy be gm again, took cole solely for unc connections i presume,... or payton who drafted 6 guards and 1stretch 4. barry and thomas must have been laughing. melo stuck on team with too many guys wanting the ball, no rebounds just like hornets lol

I occasionally forget what a tremendous cringe fest the All-Star Weekend is - the laziest, circle jerkiest of circuses. Just tuned into 5 minutes of All Star Game. Enough of a reminder to keep me away for the next few years.

I haven’t watched a second of the All Star weekend live this year.

I watched some of the 3pt shootout and dunk contest highlights on YouTube today.

Apparently the dunk contest did not go well. Lots of misses and little ingenuity- although after what guys like Howard, Lavine and Gordon did (especially the last two) I’m not sure dunk contests will ever be looked at the same again.

LaMelo played very well in limited minutes

Just being in this environment among these players and playing well is a confidence booster

Sadly, it's more fun complaining about the All Star Game on realGM than it is watching it. I was trying to explain to my wife the concept behind the weekend (she's a dirty foreigner) and failed. If pressed, I guess the 3 pt. competition still holds some appeal, but the rest of it just makes me yell at the TV and weep for Western civilization.

I did check out his box after turning off the game - looks like he showed up?
