Just seeing this. Hmm. Just don't be surprised when Quin Snyder keeps Lebron on the bench in the 2nd half. :lol:

Might be the best AS Team I've ever seen to be honest.

I'm dying to see Luka with Giannis :oops:

"Hey Lebron, meet your All Star team coach.... Oh, and you'll be backing up Sabonis tonight. We need more passing."

I like the starters from LeBron's team but I like KD's Bench.

LeBron has shooters, KD has scorers - I do like the defensive versatility of KD's team too.

Will be fun to watch.

That would be epic. I really hope Quin Snyder has balls to do that.

He would be my most favorite coach in the NBA hands down.

Getting picked last, behind Sabonis, has got to feel very insulting.

Looks like behind Randle, Vucevic and Sabonis. Yeah, that's clearly a diss.

this ASG is gonna be wack. pretty sure no one wants to be there. They love the all star game because of all the parties, events, and mingling with celebrities. Take that all away and all you are doing is taking their vacation.

Paul George didn't even play tonight. Is he going to play in the ASG this weekend?

Ehhh. At least Vucevic can get the best of good players. Sabonis is just a guy. He can't do anything if a good player or Defense is focused on him.

Well, they are the worst of the bunch, no big deal. No one needing Gobert on this kind of game, and Mitchell problably the worst of the guards selected. I could take him over Booker maybe, but not over any of the other.

From a bad MF known as Green Apple. Graced the board back in the summer of 2012.

Top 5 RealGM GOAT.

From 2013:

Green Apple wrote:Paul George's ascension to the peak of of his sport has been astonishing but all too real. His talents are numerous and should be appreciated that is for certain. His acceleration is almost too rapid to comprehend. He effortlessly roars past his defenders with the sleekness of a Peregrine Falcon. His defender lies motionless, glued to the floor. As he watches this brilliant contortionist slide past him with the greatest ease and confidence his soul wilts till it has reached the point of extinction

His speed and skill is one thing but this is a gentleman with wisdom which belies his true age. This cunning craftsman overwhelms his defenders not only with his physical gifts, which are plenty, but also with his stupendous cerebral approach which can never be underestimated. He utilizes his keen eye for the game and superior guile and ultimately leaves his opponent dismayed and shocked at what has been demonstrated before him. He is a performer, that should be understood, but is also a battle tested warrior looking for new and greater challenges. We are in a great age when we get to see this exquisite athlete perform before us.

I need this lineup to be played for at least 5 minutes:

G: Curry

F: Luka
F: PG
F: Lebron

Only shots from outside 40 feet allowed.
