They should change the Taco Bell Skills Challenge to the Taco Bell Eating Challenge. Wouldn't you like to see NBA players competing to eat the most tacos? I know I would.

Nope and their shouldn't be. Who cares if the lakers aren't a part of ASW? Dunk contest and three point contest should be fun. This is a great weekend to forget about lakers :lol: . We have been through enough this year.

I think you could make a strong argument for Mashall if that dude from Toronto is playing. He could easily ball tonight.

Only 2 things I'm interested in are the slam dunk contest and 3 point shootout, this all star weekend feels so underwhelming compared to last season.

Complete opposite for me. lol I loved the rookie/soph game, not really excited for today's events, but am open to being entertained, and can't wait for tomorrow Durant vs. Lebron.

It's so cringe worthy when they try to push in all the sponsors
