2015 All Star Weekend Thread

[mateo82]

This is the first time I've watched an all-star game in several years and wow, has it gotten so much worse. I mean it was always bad, but every play the defense basically clears out and lets the guy with the ball do a trick play. If this is what people want from the All-Star weekend then why not just get rid of the game all together? Have them play Horse instead.

I miss all star games like back in 2001. They were actually exciting and each team wanted to beat the other.

111-110 that's a perfect all star game score. Hate these 165-158 exhibition games.

Kyle Korver had the second most points on his team. More points than Curry in less minutes too. But apparently he "isn't an all-star" according to his detractors because he doesn't do fancy dribble moves.

Yeah it‘s really worth evaluating a players level of skill and performance over the current season by their box score in the All-Star game.

Step aside Stephen Curry, less points than Korver in an All-Star game? Get those highlight passes and crazy handles out of here, nobody came to see that.

Ahh, it‘s like you want me to call you stupid. I‘ll resist though.

We all know, that kyle can shoot the 3. to me personally, he isn't an all star, because he basically only shoots 3s. he isn't really versatile on other aspects of the game. but i must say, that i enjoyed him going up for 3s and the crowd getting anxious, if it would go in. after the first 3 shots, i thought he would go on an insane streak hitting shots left and right, it was awesome.

but still kyle to me doesn't have the value of other all stars.

Melo being hurt aside, Klay and Millsap looked like they didn't belong.

Great job for Westbrook. Harden deserved it too. The real bummer for the ASG is that its just exhibition. Could you imagine Harden and Westbrook on the same team? That would be nuts.

Yeah I can imagine that. Because it happened already.

Westbrook's dunk whereby he hit his head, is the greatest dunk in all-star game history, from what I've seen.
Overall though it was the worst all-star game I've ever seen.
There is nothing more boring than 3-point-shooting.
I miss the 90s, when guys actually had scoring MOVES.
Even LeBron, supposedly one of the 10 or 15 best players of all-time, hardly has any scoring moves.
Pathetic era.
The NBA needs to eliminate the 3-point-line, because these players are ruining the game with their mind-numbingly boring 3-point attempts.

yea all-star used to be more fun when they actually play defense starting 1st quarter
now they don't really play unless it's a close game with less than 5 min to play

Except everyone wanted to ignore his regular season stats too, so...

One of the best All-Star game ever. Players played with so much more heart.

IMO this is the best all star game in league history

Apart from that epic Westbrook head-bang dunk, my favorite moment was right at the beginning of the game when a three-pointer got blocked and Mutombo was laughing his head off and waving his finger that was hilarious footage
