Gonna go ahead and say this is much more enjoyable than DJ Khaled and Fat Joe (and I actually like All The Way Up).

I'd be upset if Harden were putting in effort at all. I hate this exhibition game. I never care who wins, I just never want to see anyone get hurt doing something dumb in a meaningless game.

Hearing Green Light made me remember that Andre 3000 needs to put out an album ASAP

I don't mind very little defense, but it is getting worse. The 3 highest scoring games in history were the last 3 and tonight will be in the same company.

They should make the game objective based. Each team needs to accomplish a list of things. Half court shot, off the board oop, etc. Maybe have colored hot spots that change colors when the objective is accomplished.

If we concede no defense, they need to make it something more than passing back and forth for uncontested dunks.

For some reason I thought that this dude was in his 50s or older. :lol:

He is a good singer.

I mean it is the All Star game. You guys ever stop to think that the score is so high and just seems to be like no defense is played because these guys are just so good...?

Nothing says 'high-flying basketball action' like 'overplayed romantic radio ballad.'

He just performed Greenlight which was barely a hit when it came out in 2008. Now get really hyped for the second half with a performance of "All of me".

This is a train wreck.

Game is a snoozefest. No old man yelling at cloud here....go back to players wearing their own team's jerseys and let the winner of the game get home court advantage in the finals

Dunk contest is dead after last years GOAT performance.
3PT contest is meh
Skills is meh

Nowitness · Post #1177 » by **Nowitness** » Mon Feb 20, 2017 2:45 am

He's a good singer. I had forgotten about it, but I liked Green Light when it came out, the other songs are pretty cheesy though. It's better than DJ Khaled and Fat Joe from last night even if they are more "basketball appropriate" music.

Bank Shot wrote:I feel like this entire weekend has been phoned in.

I feel like this every year but this year seems like on another level when it comes to this. Just 0 energy on any event this year. Dont know if the Dunk Contest last year made things felt different. But even this year's 3 point contest just seemed phoned in and was so boring and that event is usually always pretty good.

I hope sooner or later the players step up on an all star weekend and go harder like we saw from NFL players and the pro bowl this past year.
