We have either Beal or Wall participating in pretty much every event, so it should be a good one for Wizards fans.

Some of those assists were amazing. He really deserved the MVP.

Beal with some nice 3s and a sweet dunk.

Webber just mentioned how happy he was that Wall had improved his game because it allowed Beal to get better. Also, having better players around Wall allowed Wall to be himself and play to his strength.

THjr has taken 13 three point attempts. Disgusting although that shootout was awesome.

Agreed, part 1 and 2 were pretty awesome. Reminded me of Gil vs T-mac

Great interview that shows a side of John we rarely see. He shares a few funny stories about Nene and Cousins.
Side note - Bill Simmons is the man.

Damn. I wish Cousins hadn't signed that contract. Definitely don't blame him for doing it. And don't blame Sacramento for giving it to him. I just wish he could have come here.

DL All Stars is on.

P Jackson just set himself up for a dunk on a fast break.

And Barkley chose him as his dark horse favorite. Time to avenge that loss to the Spurs, Mad Bradley.

I wrote this in the around the nba thread before this one was made:

for some reason I could see Wall being a lil tight & nervous in the dunk contest and All Star game. I would love nothing more than to be wrong but him, like Arenas hasnt shown the ability to stand out in events among peers. They almost seem submissive or settle when in truth the All Star game is made for a guy like Wall more than probably any other player. He should win the MVP if he got the burn and played like he wanted it but he will probably just be happy to be there and play like a role player which may make him suck.

Beal on the other hand, I think will be very aggressive and I honestly wouldnt be shocked if he won rither the MVP of the rising stars or won the 3pt contest. I predict he will be top 5 in MVP voting and will lose in the finals of the 3pt shootout
