All Star games thread

Jalen Bluntson · Post #101 » by **Jalen Bluntson** » Mon Feb 17, 2025 11:44 am

Not one redeeming quality to this weekend unless you call watching a non NBA player abuse the All Star players in a dunk contest fun. I can watch him on YouTube while I'm taking a dump. And WTF was Kevin Hart doing trashing SGA? Is this really what they wanna do to the game? I'm never watching that trash again. A skills competition that required no skill. A dunk competition with non NBA player winning a 3peat. Whatever that All Star game thing was were team mates didn't even play together? Just give them the votes and a check with a glass trophy that has their name on it and let them take vacation like everyone else who didn't get voted in. These guys don't even want to be there. Might as well have a fashion show and they can wear those puffy coats and gigantic sweaters. This was absolute garbage.

The WNBA all star game was way better than this garbage. That is not hyperbole. The women played a competitive game and it was fun to watch compared to watching these spoiled AAU brats go through the motions.

The NBA is a bad product right now. I don't know how they fix this but All Star weekend was basically the modern NBA of the 2020s in a microcosm. Uninspired trash. The players don't care about regular season or this and it's causing viewers to look elsewhere. If it's not the Knicks, I'm probably not watching.

I'd rather watch the NFL pro bowl games or MLB all star game over the NBA ASG.

This is so cringe. Way to market literally a top 3 player in the sport Adam Silver, by having Kevin Hart antagonize him on national television.

I'm glad he didn't find it funny.

As soon as I saw that Kevin Hart was on my TV screen last night I turned off the game.

I felt bad for Raphael Saadiq

I had to turn this off cause it was like reading a GA or Nodope post over and over and over and over again and it was getting **** annoying!

I mean it's not that hard! Make it USA vs the World! Dudes take pride repping their country!

Or just go back to East vs West and give these entitled babies something to play for. . Stop giving trolls like Draymond any air time! And please find a replacement for Shaq!

And they wonder why nobody gave a sh*t about the games

I think the NBA needs to just stop pretending like we're ever gonna get a competitive game again. Just too much risk involved for what's really just an exhibition game in the middle of the season

You just gotta lean into that fact, make it more of a celebration, just have fun with it. Sure the crusty old heads will complain, but they already complain about everything. Like how the NFL made the Pro Bowl into a flag football game, yeah it's not the same but they're all out there having fun

Inside the NBA kinda sucks now. All they do is complain about how soft guys are or whatever, and half the guys on it admit they don't even watch the games. Yet in the middle of the All Star game, we had to take a break to celebrate them, when they're not even retiring, they're just going to a different network. Sh*t's ridiculous.

If they go back to East/West, should they pay the winning team $1 million per player and the losing squad $250k per player?

or make it Team North America vs Team International?

They should go East/West and decide home court for the finals.

Listen, for people like me, it was important to have closure for TNT and their role in the NBA. I don't know what the next inside the NBA is going to look like.

The complaints from the crew are legit. There is a problem with the NBA play these days and it's important to be honest about it. It's not the Fox News of NBA coverage (ESPN).

Draymond is cheeks.

His point that there are all-star based records that now everyone is shut out from is legit, but it was their own fault.

Guys wanted to show up to all-star, score 300 per team, and wanted to put their inflated fraud numbers against the history books.
