I have my personal bet about who will be the MVP for the all-star-game. I think we will see an amazing Luka Doncic and he will be selected as the MVP.
Luka Doncic for the Lebron Team side but I bet on Joel Embiid for the Kevin Durant side. Joel Embiid is doing his best NBA season so far so he probably will be on fire looking for the MVP tittle Wink
What are your thoughts or bets? Enjoy

I check the betting odds of the upcoming all star weekend and I'm planning to put a little bet particularly in the 3 point shooting.

The top favorite is Steph Curry with 2.25 odds but I could not take my eyes off on the underdog of the fight as I think I'm seeing some potential of a win.
What do you think about Jaylen Brown's chances? his odds is 8.48 at the moment.

Hey guys, we have the Kevin Durant and Lebron James line-up teams for the All-star-game. We are going to have an incredible match so have fun watching these great players.
I was wondering if we will have some audience watching the game, we will miss Shaquille O´neal and the greatest NBA old star players in the stadium.

My picks are also the same with yours. The best things I love in All-Star events are these contests. I find them more enjoyable than the game most of the time. But it looks like the game also will be very fun to watch and I wish we could see KD, Harden and Irving all together at Team Durant.

There's no betting odds yet but we already have the following odds.

NBA all star 3 point contest
NBA all star skills challenge winner
NBA all star slum dunk winner
NBA all star MVP.

Check out the odds.  https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba-all-star-game/nba-all-star-game-604153939705be2e3951e8d3
I guess Curry can easily win at the three-point contest because the only competitor for him could have been Booker with 3.8 odds, but Booker got an injury, and he will be replaced by Conley with 5.89 odds. Also, I didn't find odds for the slam dunk contest on this site.
That's for sure since Klay still sideline no competition on three-point contest curry will be walking in the park but let's not count Devin, he has improved in the three-point area I think, and the ball is round even the best player has an off game, besides its a bit boring if they will not put a little fight, they should put a little of excitement for the audience at home.

So let's see how far the Nets can go this time with Harden looking for his 1st championship ring.
They'll do better especially if Durant will come back healthy after the all star. Nets are still next to Sixers in standing but soon they'll take that spot easily, I can sense it already with the way they play, they play with consistency and only loss once after Durant got injured.
Yes, they need Durant for a higher possibility to take the ring with him.
I hope both Kyrie and KD are still hungry for the championship.
Both of them have their own rings already and that is why we see Harden working so hard for the Nets to win more.
I guess that is also to avoid unnecessary problem in the future or to give the Nets an upper hand when the playoffs comes with homecourt advantages.
Suddenly, I got hooked reading comments. LOL  Grin
Too much Lebron haters.

I saw a meme today that made me laugh. It said to honor James Harden the Rockets decided to lose 13 games in a row (his #). I enjoyed that. Poor Rockets are only proving Harden’s point that they weren’t good enough for him to win with.
Speaking of meme, I saw also another one that's made by LBJ haters.

They put two images from the bunny from space jam and they said that it's a downgrade. And speaking of Space Jam.

Btw, his tweet about Space Jam

I'm backing up Team Durant this night as the odds are pretty attractive and it will be a show down between the players that will make the game live up the expectations even if the jerseys they are wearing for this season of ALL STAR game are having an awkward look  Undecided. Besides this , I'm expecting a show from Donoval Mitchel just because Shaq told him he has no game to bring it to the next level as a star and tonight he can prove that.

I missed Thompson in this kind of competition, I love how Curry and Thompson fight in the Final rack and I would bet on Thompson if these two brothers will face each other. Now, it's all Curry because he is the most popular and the most efficient.

I looked on the other site for the slam dunk odds and here you go.

Hello guys, I am trying to find out what happen with the real Kevin Durant Injury and there is no real information around this player. I am a Nets supporter and I really love their team play but KD absence is getting longer than I expected. All that we know is that he is out through All-Star break with a left hamstring strain, that's all. As they are winning almost every single game (thanks to a great couple formed by Harden and Irving), they are not really worried about his come back. At least he will not play the all star game and that's really important to have a full recovery. It will be really strange the all star game without KD but let's enjoy this NBA weekend guys! Wink

Only thing good about this all-star weekend will be the fact that things will kick off very early, it is going to be on Sunday and everything will be done in just one day. We will watch the skill challenge, we will watch dunk contest and three point shoot contest, and after that regular all-star game will start. That is the only good thing about this weekend because in a year where there is a safety issue because of coronavirus, bringing players from all over the nation into just one location and making them play together for a while and spreading them around back to their own teams could result with devastating health issues.

I mean teams do play against each other but at least we know 2-3 teams that could be in danger, aside from that everyone else is usually fine, this year has been great, only few teams had a problem, but with all-star that could spread to almost every team.

To be fair, Houston has given him a lot of opportunity to win as well, getting Dwight Howard, Chris Paul (which is the closest they get) and then Westbrook.

Another reason as well is that they are competing against a prime Golden State Warriors, led by Curry and then later with Durant. So it's hard to go against a dynasty that time. Similar to the 90's when Jordan and the Bulls are dominating, a lot of good teams in the East, New York Knicks, Pacers and no matter how the management built their teams, it's hard to beat the Bulls.
But all those opportunities end up short.
Dwight in his comedian year then CP3 getting injured in WCF.
I bet they can win it if only CP3 was healthy on that moment.

Harden is like Steve Nash now on his prime (although he's really old that time) in Phoenix Suns.
Average mostly with double figures of assists and points.
He's just better since he can also gain rebounds.

Remembering that controversial series between Rockets and GSW.

If only CP3 was healthy for that entire series, it might be the chance for this Harden's lead Rockets to the finals, they are really close to
acheived that, if Harden accomplished that it surely be an acheivements for him as individual superstar, but that's not what happened back then. He may have another chance now with the different team he's really showing a differnet pace of his game, hungry to win a title for sure.

Updated NBA championships betting odds, not sure if it's still open for our crypto sportsbook. If it's still open I guess it's good to take the Nets at +275

https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/championship-odds

These are the top 5.

Team   Odds
Los Angeles Lakers   +250
Brooklyn Nets   +275
Los Angeles Clippers   +550
Utah Jazz   +750
Milwaukee Bucks   +900

Those who bet early gets the best odds for the Jazz and the Nets, congratulations in advance.
I don't think Jazz has what it takes to win a championship but they are a really good team. The problem for them is that Rudy Gobert and Jordan Clarkson are a liability sometimes. If they can step it up throughout playoffs, they have a chance. 

Seriously?  Clarkson a liability, man, this guy is going to win the 6th man of the year and Gobert have step up his game this season. Are you really watching the NBA lately? I'm just curious because this is not what I see and I think most NBA fans here would agree with me.

I'm one of the people who believe that Nets can make it this season with KD-Harden-Irving trio. They have no NBA championship in their history and they can finally succeed in this after many many years.

All of them have championship experience individually. well for Harden it's just a WCF but it's a western conference championship.  Grin

Their playoff performance will be very important. If they play like now at least, they have a big chance for it. Because they even manage to defeat their competitors in the absence of KD.
As long as they get a home court advantage in a series, I think that would be good enough for them to at last pass the firs round.
No team at the moment in the East can beat the Nets, that's my personal opinion though but it could change depending on how Nets will play in the long run.

Playoff is different ball game, most likely the team with more experience has greater chances. Just look at the Bucks previously. The became the number one seed but was upset.

The good thing with Nets is that they are very talented team and they have the experience with Durant and Irving to push the team.
playoffs sometimes upset the top seed, what happens to bucks your correct less experience in the playoffs but remember they Toronto got Leonard, who is a really good defender, and bucks performance is less like the regular season I think they have pushed too much in the regular season that they loss energy and momentum to the playoffs not that they have no experience,
IMO we can't compare buck against a real team like the Nets, Bucks are just hype because they have Giannis as the back to back MVP of the league, but Nets have the experience, I mean the big 3 has the experience and they can beat any team in the NBA now, so I don't think they get upset in the playoffs. I'm not saying it's impossible though but it's not likely to happen.
