All I can say about this game is that at least he was trying. The other players didn't' want to play hard so they threw him the ball. Cant complain about his scoring when others chose not to. I'm just mad that Ant didn't get any run when i know that he hawks for every camera after a dunk to get his followers up.


Damn bro. I get not liking a player but **** me... that's some next level petty **** man.

They need to add a cycle of attractive markets voted by the players and just recycle the top 5 cities for the next 10 years. Then they can revote the next 5 cities after the 10 years are done.

Should be LA, Vegas, New York, and Miami on loop.

Yeah those would be the top 4 for sure.

I think the 5th is probably Houston or Atlanta.

I heard Doc say the following to Giannis and Dame, "They're little kids [most of the other all-stars]. Y'all grown. Take their candy and lunch money. Take it! Adrian was a little kid to me, and see how I took it."

Giannis absorbed that lesson and reiterated it to Dame. Bucks are too corrupt to win now, fam :lol:

in the past giannis would be playing at like 80% effort in the all star game when everyone else was at 40-50% effort.


And that’s a problem?

Yeah, even when he scored 62 a couple weeks back, they lost the game and their coach called him out for ballhogging. So bad, he got benched late in the game.

You sound like a real hard man. The stereotypical high school bully that was probably breastfed til he was 8.

LOL. These guys are young black millionaires. They don't want to spend any more time in Indianapolis than they have to. Neither do the celebrities that stick around. They want to spend days in Miami, NY, LA or Vegas.

There is a reason the Super Bowl is only played in a small handful of cities.

No beef to people who live in smaller NBA cities. I live in Orlando and say the same thing when the weekend is here.

Yeah not sure why fans can't understand this.

Just because we live in these smaller cities and enjoy it doesn't mean a millionaire athlete feels the same. These dudes are use to big city bright lights. They don't want to spend their in season vacation in a cold city with not much attraction.

These guys come for the parties anyway. Why not do it in a attractive city.

If the NFL can hold their big game in Indianapolis and Minneapolis, the NBA has no excuse.

Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco are all excellent places to hold an all-star game. You gotta give Seattle one when they get their team back too.

They took the concept of lets not defend so to make the game as non-competative and as boring as its possible to the new level I see. 211 points jeesh. At this point any regular season game is more inreresting to watch than this crap.

So these guys get paid tens of millions to play a game and they have an issue working in Indianapolis for two days? It's part of the job. Fans support their millions and it's call road show. If Taylor Swift can play in Ind or Cleveland, what's the problem? Their time off is Monday thru Wednesday. Why do your care if they play in LA or NY or Ind anyway? For the record, they played a Superbowl in Minneapolis in February.
