I think they had trouble getting guys in the first one. It was easy to look bad if you rushed and ended up missing 3-4 passes in a row. That turned into guys jogging and going slow to make sure they at least made the pass or just refusing to participate



For the first several years most participants were All-stars.

I just can’t think of them.


The 3 point shootout and dunk contest are always good though


Trust me when I say this as someone who went to the one in Cleveland… No, they aren’t always.

I’m going Mitchell here. Guys been on a tear and I think he’ll bring that confidence into this.

putting the stats on the court during gameplay would be nuts. also putting the distance a shooter takes the shot and they can probably figure out a way to see if the player's toe is on the line or not for the 3's. or even if the ball bounces out of bounds. it could eliminate a ton of reviews and save a bunch of time.

He's bricking everything while he warms up but maybe he just needs to shoot the jitters out.

I don't see games ever being played on this.

Too expensive to maintain and install.

Glass surface instead of hardwood. Can't imagine it's good for the knees and diving for loose balls

Love the court tech but ectoplasm green is a bit much. It hurts my eyes.

Mitchell has an insanely wide shooting stance
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.
