there's no hype at all.
Still 100 times better than Kevin Hart cracking jokes and embarrassing players on their intros.

Every year people have to try something with the US Anthem. Just sing it regularly.

Re: All Star Weekend Thread
american anthem needs instruments or something because everytime i hear it, it just never works. Maybe a musican can educate this to me because it doesn't sound like it should be sung..

Re: All Star Weekend Thread
Hope they blast this screaming idiot all over social media. This was the worst anthem i have heard in the history of anthems. Made fergie sound like a soothing melody in comparison.

I look for Nick Nurse to pull Kemba and put in Kyle within the 3 minute mark to give Giannis a taste of Raptors basketball.
Kyle playing 39 minutes...

Re: All Star Weekend Thread
A pet peeve on live performances is when the singer sings one note for too long. I don't like the US anthem because that's what a happens on every line.
Who has the attention span for that anymore lol?

Re: All Star Weekend Thread
I pretty much can't stand country music.
But I'll take that Canadian Anthem over whatever it was that Chaka Khan did any day of the week.
Talk about self-absorbed nonsense.

Great voice. But wasn't feeling the country rendition.
I don't mind some country music now and again, but it was odd to see it at an NBA event though

She has a great voice and didn't overdo it. I'd take her or over Chaka Khan 100 times out of a 100.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

The American anthem sounds good imo it's just everyone deviates from the actual melody becauze they think people want pizazz.

That's what I call musical masturbation.

Ya, I thought it was a weird selection too given the event demographics. I even thought that when she was singing it.
But man, she shone brightly over Chaka Khan.

They took Chaka out of retirement to perform that abomination. Poor girl should have been sipping her mojitos on a beach somewhere.
