That would be a great tribute to Kobe that fans will never forget, KOBE as the new logo of the NBA would really nice.

Is it really necessary? Kobe really did shape the league, people are looking up to him, kids usually shouts "Kobe" as they hit a three with a trash can and a piece of paper but the NBA did a lot of tribute for him and I think that is enough. Kobe is one of the GOAT, to be honest, but he doesn't need to be the logo of the NBA and I think if we will be asking him that too that will be his answer. Kobe is a legend, and as music states it, "Legends never die"

The first one is that they are thinking that they've seen Kobe on the court and that is just Middleton who really looked like Kobe. \

I just realize that now, yes, Middleton looks like Kobe,... people surely missing him but eventually people can still move on.

I think so because some bettors here loves to show their betslips but I have not seem anyone showed that they won betting on Kawhi, not even seen people who are claiming they won. The 4th quarter was something that fans will never forget, it was one of the best all star and I am sure Kobe would be so happy for that since this also was also dedicated for him.

Some fans after this has a lot to say. The first one is that they are thinking that they've seen Kobe on the court and that is just Middleton who really looked like Kobe. Another thing is that a lot of people are so surprised by Chris Paul's dunk while he's been doing that in the past, lastly, the beef of Giannis and Harden, are they really in beef?

Then you should start making your own strategy but you are not oblige to share it here.
When I was new in sports betting, I love to experiment on different strategy but eventually I found the right for me, and my experience really helps a lot.

I don't think that's necessary, I'm not confident sharing that kind of bets with others.

I might test it on my own and I'll assess what's going to be the result of that run and if I think that it's a shareable thing to the people here, I might do it without notice but for now, I don't think it's needed.

Good luck mate, hopefully in the future you'll be one of the admired tipster in the forum.

I am betting in sports as well, done this for years but like you I am also not yet confident sharing my picks, all I can give is just my opinion or thoughts on a game but I can't give assurance that my opinion is correct.

So many young and good players in that game.
Difficult to predict that it will be Kawhi who will win the All-Star MVP.
Most of us may have thought it will be Doncic but he had a bad night.
Kawhi though is really hot on the outside. He almost broke the record of three points made in an All-Star but the last shots missed.
He may have a clue that he is near breaking a record.

Oh! That Slam Dunk will never be forgotten. Is it 3 tie breakers or 4? That was a lot of dunks made. Cheesy

.,., that's clearly a mistake, as for me, I don't need to google it as I saw the entire game.

This made me spit bulgogi all-over my table - thank you for that
This was one of the best ALL STAR games for NBA I have seen and no-one thought Kawhi Leonard would win and with those attractive odds

I've just learned that it's Chris Paul who proposed that kind of format to NBA All-Star to make it more competitive and no doubt, it's effective. Not the whole format in general but the thing called "Elan Ending". Though it did not follow the original score that should be added to the leading scorer after 3 quarters, as we know the +24 is a tribute to Kobe Bryant.

I just congratulate the one who set it up yesterday. I didn't know it was Chris Paul who had the idea. Wow! He is really one of the wisest in NBA.
We could see it with his plays. Always mentally active. Not much room for errors.
It was really a successful one.

...hopefully next all star it would be the team Giannis who would win and he well finally get an MVP award though.

Actually Giannis put a pride building his roster even last year. He can form a much better roster during the draft. It looks like he wanted to picks those underrated players for them to be recognized as a winning team against the most superstars. It surely a big achievement if that happens. But overall, both lineups are undoubtedly strong.

Next All-Star Game, if the Captain mode will still implement, I think he will get a shot again on being a Captain but Steph Curry will surely be included now on the voting list next year. As we know, Steph and LeBron always make it to the top in gathering All-Star votes. The reason they become the first captains in the changed format after East vs West series. I do hope LeBron got the 3rd place next year for a change lol although likely it won't happen for the next 1-2 seasons I believed.

Yeah, Team Giannis and Team Steph. Grin

No hates. Just a change.
Giannis is already gaining a lot of respect from other stars and so does Lebron.
Better try someone else just to see how they could also lead.

I cannot forget the post ups from Embiid with Harden defending him. They are getting serious down there, pushing and stuff.
When is the last time we saw someone posting up in an All Star game. Grin

What matters is what a player will produce in the end and Leonard were able to produce more compared to its teammates.
Leonard is almost a complete player in terms of MVP award, he only now lacks winning a regular season MVP which is unlikely to happen IMO due to his style.

Leonard's defense is underrated, maybe because players of today's generation focused less on the defensive end as long as they are consistent at scoring.
I agree that Leonard may not win a season MVP, specially now that after he leaves Toronto, It seems nothing was change but they became better in standing so far without him. Nevertheless, any team with Leonard as an addition will become even better both defensively and offensively.

He is definately the silent assassin. I dont think a regular season mvp is out of the realm of possibility for him. He is usually always the best all around player on the floor at anytime he is on the floor. He obviously makes his testes better that's been shown in toronto. The only thing against him is he isnt flashy.

I wasn't really sure how the game will be with the new rules and I read it bunch of times but I still wasn't sure, after actually seeing the game and how it unraveled I can say that it was actually quite entertaining to watch. All-star games legit started to become more like where players actually rest and have fun and relax in the recent years, thankfully this time around it felt more realistic and more like a match up instead of just fun, there was a lot of hard fouls, taking charges, players actually trying to play.

Definitely, there was a lot of times when nobody defended bunch of alley oops as well, there were stretches of nobody defending but at the end of fourth quarter you saw how every player on the floor tried their best to win the game and get the charity of their team get that donation.

Yeah, maybe the first time that we see in an all star game wherein they are playing defense, Giannis challenging Lebron and then Lebron guarding Joel Embiid in the post. Interesting to see Kawhi winning the all star MVP for this year, I never expect him to win to be honest.

Anyways, the real winner here is the charity organisation, good cause for the whole NBA here and kudos to them.

Real winner here is the fans and the charity that benefit out that all-star game.Me too which i didnt expect for Kawhi to get the all star MVP this year and you can really see the aggressiveness on making points unlike into this typical gameplays.

Well, no worries to me as from now on, fans should expect these 2 youngsters will always be present every All-Star game.

That's for sure as they are the future of the NBA, they are expected in the next all star and as they get more matured they'll surely at least win one MVP award in all star. Lebron did not win an all star MVP right away but eventually he does because he was there every all star, now he seems to be satisfied already and he gives others a chance..hopefully next all star it would be the team Giannis who would win and he well finally get an MVP award though.

I wont say that Lebron do give way or give chance to others.Kawhi did perform well and really worthy of that award but the thing you said was right which participating for all star game is already enough.
For young guns, its already anticipated that these fellas would be seen on upcoming years and theres no doubt to that.

So do I, but he was great showing some good shooting and consistency in the game, so he got the award, actually that was an effortless win for me but he all deserved that win, "including the new car from KIA" (lol)...

The All-Star Game is great overall.

Still, for entertainment purposes but they really played hard especially in the last quarter. You can see anyone playing defense seriously. That's what the entertainment that everyone wants to see and not just for a show.

Here are the highlights that I'm really amazed

*Devin Booker follow-up dunk (although he is just a replacement, I consider him as an All-Star already the way he
*Alley-oop to Chris Paul
*Kawhi Leonards aggressiveness (this is not his usual in the past All-Star game)
*Antetokounmpo's defense. He really challenged and contest most of the inside attempts by Team LeBron
*Trae Young's nice assist to Gobert. (2-3 times? If I'm not mistaken)
*Ben Simmons and Jayson Tatum athleticism

I don't know why both teams exclude the starters Trae Young and Luka Doncic to play in the deciding situation. It's always been a usual practice that those starters will play at the closing game. Instead, Kyle Lowry (Team Giannis) and Chris Paul (Team LeBron) played. Both teams played as a veteran group. Well, no worries to me as from now on, fans should expect these 2 youngsters will always be present every All-Star game.
