I was wondering why nobody was giving him a shot to win this.

It's always good when a 3pt specialist is not the winner.

They've been hanging all weekend. There are pics on twitter of the two of them. Tristan is represented by LeBron's agent team.

I know alot on here don't want LBJ back because of how it went down. The main goal IS to win an NBA championship. Bringing him back would be a media circus but if anyone can pull this off it is Dan Gilbert. LBJ would have some smooth talking to do. I ask you is winning an NBA championship the main goal, & re-signing LBJ give us the best chance to do it? After the intial shock IMO winning would change alot.

I think it's safe to say we would all (even those on here who pretend they are too good for him)take him back, in a heartbeat. He messed up, yeah... we get that. He's a different animal now. He's grown into a confident beast that he simply was not before, not only watching him on the court, but looking to his demeanor... in interviews, and now apparently taking over a players meeting and calling out the lawyers? He seems to have grown out of young adult mode and into beast mode, which if you combine that with the amount of young talent we'll have by the time he's able to sign here is just scary

Did you hear Reggie and co's commentary while the contest was happening? It baffles me how little basketball knowledge this guy has. Hes so dumb. Kyries an elite shooter and out of that crop only curry is better.

Congrats to Kyrie! What a great weekend for him to showcase his skills. Just by judging from the national media and the general forum. It appears he surprised most of them. We all knew how good he is already. After the first round performance, I didn't think he'd make it to the second round. Once he drained all 5 in the first rack of the final round, I knew he was going to win. When the pressure is on, Kyrie is at his best. He had 2 money balls just roll off the rim too or he would have broke Hodges record. Steph Curry is the guy I thought would win it, but glad our guy got the trophy.

Also, he had 2 of the best plays of the entire All Star weekend. That sick 1 on 1 against Brandon Knight has made the rounds. Plus the splitting of the double team in the ASG for the dunk was freaking awesome. Both will be on his career highlight reel.
