Nothing happening during halftime - not much different than during this game.

Amazing how little interest there is in this game on this board. I wonder if they are more interested in Africa?

Helooooooo. Is anybody home?

Adam Silver said the NBA hopes to have 100 million viewers for this game in Africa alone. I guess he didn't get as many from RealGm.

For all those who didn't watch this game - and that includes most of us:

All in all, this was better played than the All Star game. Nobody tried to turn it into his personal exhibition, there was some degree of team play, and there was actually some defense, too. Mudiay and Oladipo played really well for Team Africa. CJM and KP played really well for Team World. Team World had more talent and won, but it was a contested game throughout.

• Cousins chucked A LOT IMO.

• Oladipo had a GREAT complete game and Mudiay looked good!

• Porzingis looked gooooooooood and had a VERY efficient game for the touches he got! His core workouts are working because his legs look a little bigger and he stood his ground MUCH better! :clap:

All in all was a fun game to watch!

Agree with all you said, Mags, but even though KP seemed to be sturdier down low, he seemed tired throughout the game. His conditioning needs to improve before the season starts (probably will, I'm just saying). I love how he stifled Biyombo, and messed up Mudiay twice behind the arc. Best game I've ever seen from Mudiay. Dipo was great, and Brown played a good game. Dirk was there just representing us older guys.

Just going by boxscores...

Oladipo MVP over Mudiay?

The best game I ever saw Mudiay play, but Oladipo deserved the MVP. He actually won the MVP.

Shouldn't the winning team get the MVP? Didn't Dipo shoot more than two times as much as anyone else, including 4-14 from three. Mundaiy played well too but also shot 2-8 from three. World team was more efficient and moved the ball better.

I thought that was weird too but Oladipo had a GREAT game and it's a charity game.

I recorded it on my DVR and will watch later. From
The comments it sounds like it was pretty decent. I really like a lot of the players involved so want to see how it went.

Yeah, it was competitive for sure.

Thought the same thing just looking at the box score because I couldn't watch the game. However, when you look at the Africa team they had literally no other scorers on the team.

Oladipo
Mudiay

Sefolosha
Ibaka
Capela
Biyombo
Schroeder
Mbah a Moute
Dieng
Mejri (???)

I've never seen a team worse on offense in my life.

Maybe you are, but are you sure you didn't get Cousins and Drummond mixed up at times? They both wore zero and red shoes. Cousins had a fairly represetive amount of shots. Drummond actually had two more shots than him, CJ McCollum went 3 for 15, etc. In fact, Drummond took four threes.

Anyway, good to see Cousins slimmed down a good bit. Can't wait for the season.
