No discussion whatsoever of the NBA all star weekend that saw a Duke player win the skills challenge, one compete in the 3 point contest, and one play PG in the game...
I was busy watching, "Hell or High Water."
Nowadays the only All-Star game I bother with is baseball. There was a time when the NFL's game used to mean something. Back when a trip to Hawaii was a big deal and the winner's share was a good part of a players annual salary. Yes I know, I'm old.
Geez, tough crowd! I for one enjoyed watching JT stuff it to Trae Young in the skills competition. The game itself was a snooze fest with very little Duke intrigue.
I attended the 1980 All-Star game in Landover MD. The 3 point line was implemented that season. Larry Bird hit the first 3 pointer in an NBA all star game in OVERTIME Last night there were 62 3 pointers.
I had it on while doing other things. Not the best basketball I have ever seen but still fun. Steph’s bounce alley-pop to Giannis was impressive - Tre and Zion need to work on that for Wednesday.
I always watch Saturday night, but never Sunday, as I find the game to be pretty dull.
Nice to see Tatum win the Skills Challenge. The three point contest was really exciting. The dunk contest was terrible this year.
I thought Dennis Smith Jr might make things a sweep for the ACC (UVA's Joe Harris somehow won the three point contest), but he couldn't close the deal with the dunk contest.
I love the NBA but the All Star game can be a bit rough to watch. I do watch all the other events though.
My favorite things to watch in order:
1. Celebrity All Star game
2. 3 point contest
3. Rising stars game
4. Skills challenge

5. Dunk contest (almost worse than the All Star game now)

I thought the all star game was fun and the dunk contest the worst. I actually thought Dennis Smiths dunk was the best. Next years dunk contest might be a lot more interesting.

The odds of the Bulls winning the lottery are significantly greater than the odds of most of the other teams. I and everyone else here know they they aren’t great, but they are a lot better than the odds of the Warriors getting him.
I was posing a whimsical hypothetical - I greatly appreciate your knowledge and insights on DBR but please relax a little bit before being so quick to correct people.
This years winner Diallo lost to Zion before and wants a rematch...
