Has there ever been a tech given to a player during an All Star game?

Well if you thought Lefkoe was awful in the studio you haven't heard him announce a game. Good job TNT!

I know this will be controversial and most likely not agreed upon. But they should completely take away all-star selections and this garbage weekend.

Give teams and players rest.

All-NBA 1st 2nd 3rd should be the main focus instead of All-star selections.

It'll take away this god awful weekend and prioritize winning.

Either that or just have the all-star selections but no damn weekend. That'll be even better.

Mathurin never has any chill. I'm not shocked. He has that attitude. :lol:

Yeah I don't see any reason to take away the selections, just stop the sham that is All-Star Weekend and give the players a week off. If the players don't care to put on an entertaining product, why should fans care to watch? It's a waste of everyone's time at this point.

They keep saying this weekend is for the fans, yet it gets worse and worse. Does the League despise the fans that much?

Scoot's a rookie, yet the most experienced rising star competitior ever, making his 3rd appearance.

My guy Vince Williams too real for this exhibition crap. If they were trying to win no reason he shouldn’t have been guarding Mathurin.

They should have rigged it to have Wemby and Chet on the same team.

Well, they both have an Indiana connection with Ivey playing there in college and Mathurin playing there for the Pacers. I distinctly saw Math do the "this is my house" celebration aimed at Ivey after a 3 he made.

For what is worth, I don't think that there's any actual beef there. Just two competitive players going after each other.

Ivey has ties to Indiana, played at Purdue in Indiana. A lot of people in Indiana wanted him, not Mathurin.

Also, Ivey was drafted above Mathurin, and Mathurin has that Kobe attitude even if he doesn't have the game to match. He wants to kill everyone all the time. Then you add the other parts. I'm not shocked.

Just some typical "you can't guard me" stuff no beef I wouldn't think just competition.
