It’s been years since I cared about the actual game, I’m more excited for the Barnes and Maxey skills challenge redemption game lol.

With everything else being plastered with sponsorships and advertising, I'm a little disappointed this isn't actually named :

All-Star weekend used to mean everything to me as a kid. Bought a fresh VHS to record every year. Now I barely remember that it's on.

All Star weekend is always fun and relaxing to watch. It's always funny seeing the irrelevant and overrated players from bad/mediocre teams being the spotlight on national tv at all star Saturday night. All I'm thinking about is I can't wait until its 2-3 months from now and we can watch the real teams and players playing serious basketball

I’ve said it before. He has Rasheed’s physical mannerisms. Even the way he walks.

Their games have some overlap but not too much.

Sheed wasn't a bad passer, but he doesn't have Scottie's vision

Sheed was also an elite man defender which Scottie isn't.
