I'm going with Klay. He seems to be in a zone.

I think they need to add a second three point contest where they take five or six of the worst shooters in the league and let them run the same contest as the good shooters.

Less events = more commercials. Also back then the skills competition had each player go one by one which made the event longer. Now it’s just 2 at a time which lasts a combined 70 seconds before the next commercial comes which is about 3 minutes.

A lot of these things are unnecessary. Like starting lineups for the event? Guys talking about rules and who they predict for 7 minutes? And then another commercial for 3 minutes followed by more talking and then another 3 minute commercial before the next event starts?

They really need to shorten the time for all star Saturday or just add more events in general.

Tobias Harris started off well but then he fell of a freaking gorge.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Nate Robinson was essentially forced to do his 3rd dunk contest. You could tell he really didn’t want to be there. It was pretty awkward.


Did they hold him at gun point or just threaten his family?

Trying to imagine how that went down.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Paul George had the worse three-point performance I've ever seen.
