Now, something that I was disappointed was with the Slam Dunk Contest, it seems that every year the level is getting worse. Undecided

Guys, what did you think of this slam dunk contest?

Honestly it's better when it's shorter. One day event is better than whole weekend. Picking a winner instead of giving points in the final dunk looks better to me. There will still be controversy but it's better than point system.
Almost every dunk is made over the years and it's being repetitive now. We can't blame players because of physics laws, what more can you do anyway? J-Rich and Gordon set the bar so high.

Curry also has a chance to win the all star MVP if he keeps shooting, that game is too easy for him as he was shooting everywhere and making long shots. Well, it's all effortless for him, if he can easily make shots even if he is pressure, how much more in the all star where defense is not the priority.

Yes he could, and the same goes for Lillard.
It's All-Star and they will try to avoid injuries as much as they could.
Both Curry and Lillard can shoot the ball way above the 3 point line and defense won't go that far.
If there is one thing I cannot forget, it was Jaylen Brown who made a 3 point shot fade away after a spin in the corner.
Those kind of moves can only be done in NBA2K games. Cheesy

Here's the box score of the game. https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401306581

Curry had 28 points but he is not the runner up, Lillard is the runner up to Giannis with 32 points, both of them actually had 8/16 shooting that night.
However, if Curry did not participate the 3 point shooting, he might get more points here as his hands will be fresher and will not easily get tired. I love what the commentator said during the 3 point contest, he said, Curry shot is lock and loaded.

1/3 with my picks from All-Star.
Curry was amazing. I really thought he was going to lose that against Conley.
That last shot made me shiver. Grin

Last shot was the money shot, talking about pressure? Nah, Curry has it is the bag, he just make it more exciting as Conley was watching from the background and hoping that Curry will missed that last shots.

That last shot was the shot where the favorites bettors could or loss and Conley bettors would win if he missed it.

Mike Conley was +500, that could have an easy x5 win of the bet, Curry is just too clutch, it's hard to bet against him.

Dunk contest though is not that much fun. Maybe we are expecting too much from those high flyers and every trick had been repeated already.
Maybe next year something better will come up.

Pretty disappointed with the dunk contest as well. I'm sure there could be new tricks around, but the contestant this year wasn't creative enough.

Quote from: Reid on March 08, 2021, 04:20:40 AM

Skills? Sabonis deserve that win after being a runner-up last year.

Yes, it was very close last year, but this year Sabonis can't be denied.

I think Steph and Giannis were the big winners from all star weekend. Giannis for his perfect fg% game and Steph for his long range bombs and winning the 3 point contest. I thought the dunk contest could have been more exciting but I liked the halftime format. Zion and LeBron both disappointed a little.

I agree with Steph. That funny 3 point turn around shot, got the attention of the crowd. Not that much of a highlight but that really took the attention of everyone.
Btw,
Griffin is on Nets.

Good luck for Blake Griffin, hopefully he will bring success to the team, it's his chance to also win a championship as Nets are filled with superstars.

Blake Griffin set to play for Brooklyn Nets for remainder of season

Quote

BLAKE Griffin is set to join the star-studded Brooklyn Nets on a veteran’s minimum.

The six-time All-Star quickly found a new home after agreeing to a contract buyout with the Detroit Pistons two days ago.

The 31-year-old Griffin boosts the support crew of the Brooklyn squad being led by James Harden and Kyrie Irving, with Kevin Durant out due to injury.

Brooklyn got 4 headed monster now and for Griffins addition to the team it makes them look more scarier, I'm sure many teams are now seeing this addition as a big problem to them since imagine if those 4 star played together in the court they could out scored any their opponent since brooklyn big4 can score + griffin can also contribute on defensive ends.

At the current status of Griffin I think he is not as good as before.

Blake griffin is a monster who can score every night but his stats are going down, especially this season.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/griffbl01.html

From over 20+ PPG average during his prime, he only average 12 points this season.

Honestly, this is their chance with James Harden and the others who haven't get NBA championship from their past team. If they failed to climb up to the NBA finals and become a champion, then that would be hard for them in the upcoming years of their careers to get to the Finals again. Before that, they need to beat every team in the eastern conference which is so far on their best this season especially Knicks and 76sers who don't give any easy win to them. 2021 NBA playoffs will be something like we've never seen before match-up now that NBA All-Star is finished, every team will take the game seriously than they are before.

Well, the AllStar Game was more or less what was expected, an interesting game with several 3-point shoots.

Now, something that I was disappointed was with the Slam Dunk Contest, it seems that every year the level is getting worse. Undecided

Guys, what did you think of this slam dunk contest?

I think it stops with the Gordon and LaVine competition and from that onwards it gets kinda boring, hope they could get any flavors now for the dunk contest maybe by modifying it, well, the 3-point contest just been modified.

yea today slamdunk is so boring, actually, Lavine and Gordon are also a bit boring but good, then all are just less explosive dunks and unknown players there is no excitement on watching because you know they can't put much force to jam the ball, kinda disappoint why LeBron never join the slamdunk, I guess he will never participate, even though they are taunting him to join.

Lebron feels he is old enough, give that chance to the young fellas. Why did you say it's boring? Damn, I have not watch the highlights yet but with what you said it made me interested. I forgot about the schedule of the 3 point shooting contest, skills challenge and slam dunk, I only manage to watch the all star game and Team Lebron is just too much for an Embiid less Team Durant.

Damian Lillard calls game from halfcourt! It was amazing

MVP became Giannis, he deserved it by not missing any shots.

Allstar game was literally the summary of recent years, like a show match made up of three-pointers. The fact that everyone on the field is shooting three points shows the development of the NBA Cheesy

But the dunk contest was the worst contest of recent years, I would like to see better ones. I just like Simons 360-degree two-handed jam.

I would like to watch a match with more dunk and more alley oops. I do not like the game ending by reaching the determined number in the last quarter, the difference was already too much. The winner of the match was clear before the quarter started

I knew Giannis will be the mvp of the game, dude was consistent... 3's, dunks... 16/16

I will be more glad if these two guys really made their peace together.
