zion noticeably lost some vertical man...even on one of his dunk attempts he almost got rim stuffed. Hes still athletic dont get me wrong...but not like he was in college. Obviously hes still playing into game shape though so thats why

Right now it's becoming close where team usa vs the world would be a competitive game. If you split up team world then team USA will kill everyone.

In all fairness the world rosters have had better talent in recent year, this year an exception (in part due to Ayton missing). So to say that it's becoming close to a competitive game is incorrect IMO - USA usually has better depth while the World typically has the better top talent.

I agree though that things shouldn't be split up - but who knows maybe in the future it could work. Something like 6 man rotations since the games are shorter, and probably with a USA A and a USA B team. E.g. 6 teams consisting of USA A, USA B, Europe, Canada, Africa, Rest of the World. It would delude the talent pool and lower the threshold of being selected a "rising star" though.

I was thinking of ways to make them try a little harder. Some competition instead of 3s and dunks without any defense.

Yeah I like the idea - I lost interest in the all-star / rising star game years ago because it's basically like watching a real-life rendition of an NBA Jam game. It would be cool is an actual incentive was given - like an extra ping pong ball in the lottery or something.

Zion is probably just tired from a game yesterday. He went for 32 against OKC. Basically had no rest.

Luka and Trae played well, and most importantly they went out having fun. Bridges deserved the MVP; he put on a show for the audience. If the world team could have hit some of those threes they were shooting it would have been a close game. Jeez, 49 threes and only made 12.

How do you get DNP's in this kinda game? Like really?

Patsfan1081 · Post #152 » by **Patsfan1081** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 4:24 am

So this was prob already talked about but why is there a 29 year old averaging 6/2 in the "futurestars" game? I understand he's a rookie but jeez, just make a exception and add somone deserving. Get Thybelle a fake passport.....

Ayton, Carter, and Herro were injured. Everyone not injured played. They came close to splitting the minutes in half between 1st and 2nd team.

Ice Trae · Post #154 » by **Ice Trae** » Sat Feb 15, 2020 4:29 am

I was really hoping Trae and Luka would be on the same team for the all star game

I am with you. I think it would have been cool if Giannis would have picked them. LeBron is to old school and he likes his old guard teammates.

Get a picture of this and have them both sign it. 50 years from now the great grand kids could auction it off on eBay and buy something nice.
