Nah, I didnt bet on any thing. I had just pointed out who the favs to win were and the 2nd favs. Just wanted to point it out for fellow cappers about the lines and what I feel about it. You would have understood that if you had read my post properly.

I believe you haven't won any of your selection today, it was a tough day for gamblers, high odds player got the win.
Curry was amazing in the first round of 3 point shooting, I thought he would bring the trophy again but shooters now are improving, we have a new champ.
I think they should add Thompson in the all star, I trust him over curry in terms of accuracy.

I would have bet on Curry but 2x didnt seem worth it, especially with 10 people participating in the 3 Pt Contest. In the dunk contest, Highlight was the dunk over Shaq. I knew nothing could top that and I think he played it a little too early. After that, none of the dunks would have impressed me. unless somebody dunked over Shaq who had Muggsy Bogues sitting on his shoulder or something. Slightly underwhelming dunk contest, as usual other than a couple of dunks. Congrats to Hamidou Diallo.

Indeed, which i didnt even think that Harris would pull off this one and with Curry alone you can already presume the chance of 80% on winning that
3point shooting contest as well know on what this man built for. +650 odds is some nasty win and would glad to see if theres someone who do make
such bet and speak on what's his insights on why he chose up harris.

So much trust and luck for whoever bet for harris, the competitions was so tough, booker, green and curry are there so I guess the money
will flow between the three and coming from behind harris came up and surprise those favorites, congrats to him for adding new fun for this
surprising win against the big names inside the three point shootout.

Looks like favorites are not winning in the last 2 competition.
3 point shooting contest is won by Joe Harris with +650 betting odds, it's a good payout, unfortunately, I put my trust to my man curry.
Who won betting on Joe Harris here? Congrats to you .

Im not sure but it must have been close to 8x. My pick almost won. Oh that was sooo close for Trae Young. Who would have thought Tatum would shoot from half court and then displace Young's shot in flight and to swish after that. That was crazy. 3-Pt shooting so far has been insaaaaane as well. By far the most entertaining All Star Saturday in the past 5 years.

Edit: Curry put up a clinic in the first round and amazing start shooting 9 out of 9 to start the final round. Somehow it went south after that until the later end of the 4th rack. Needed 5 out of 5 to tie with the first time 3 point shooting Challenger and the New Champ Joe Harris.

I dont believe to wager on Nba weekend , prefer to watch and enjoy it without betting.
its fucking hard to watch players laughing when you lose money.
If Players dont take competition serious, why should i ?
After couple of record breaking years in Allstar game , they decide to defend Last year and it became low scoring game .
About 3 point contest its about refs , remember what they did 3 years ago "Gordon Vs LaVine" .

What's the odds for him?

He just won the skills challenge with that half court shot.

Tonight is the ALL STAR SATURDAY NIGHT, which will consist of 1)Skills Challenge    2) 3-Point Contest        3) Dunk Contest(underwhelming for the past couple of years)

Who do you think will win? I like Trae Young for the Skills Challenge as he seems to be the the small quick guard with good hands. De'Aaron fox is fav. as he is self proclaimed the quickest player in the NBA. For the 3-Pt Contest, I'd say Step Curry but I wouldnt gamble on it for 2x odds. Dennis Smith Jr. seems good value for the Dunk Contest.

Skills Challenge:

     Mike Conley, Grizzlies
     Luka Doncic, Mavericks         -     4.84x
     De'Aaron Fox, Kings        -       4.26x
     Nikola Jokic, Nuggets
     Kyle Kuzma, Lakers
     Jayson Tatum, Celtics
     Nikola Vucevic, Magic
     Trae Young, Hawks

3-Point Contest:

     Devin Booker, Suns
     Seth Curry, Trail Blazers
     Stephen Curry, Warriors        -    2.06x
     Danny Green, Raptors
     Joe Harris, Nets
     Buddy Hield, Kings                    -    6.25x
     Damian Lillard, Trail Blazers
     Khris Middleton, Bucks
     Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks
     Kemba Walker, Hornets

and the Slam Dunk Challenge:

     Miles Bridges, Hornets                -    3.22x
     John Collins, Hawks                      
     Hamidou Diallo, Thunder

I do not know if yall watched the game or at least part of it, or like me Ray Allen's highlights. This dude still got it even at 43 and would probably do a good job for some of the teams out there fighting for the playoffs (hehe I'm kidding...or maybe not).

Never been much of a fan of the All-Star game itself, it's always been about the dunk contest and 3pt contest. Can't go without giving my prediction lol, always go with/root for underdogs. Dunk champ - John Collins, 3pt winner - Joe Harris.

Can't wait...

Funny! How sure you are that people like Lemonkey team to win? He cannot even make free throws!? He cannot even make the Lakers into the playoffs. It's Harden who's making the NBA fun and should be the captain of the team!

It was all for fun anyways. For the last shot team world passed the ball to team usa cause they screwed up on the last 3 dunks and they were getting killed in the score anyhow. It was all fo' show.
It was expected before the game there were going to be some good passing between Simmons and Luka Doncic but none transpired unfortunately.

They had fun so let us not make an issue about that game of team world and team USA.
You can see them all smiling and they are really enjoying it.

They got serious only at 4th quarter while team world is trying to close that lead by team USA. But it is not enough.

Let us see how Lebron will make their game fun but also with efforts to really win.

Well i think most of us didn't quite expect the outcome as i was also rooting for team world to win but kyle has different plans it turns out lol. Shows he's got what it takes to lead a team and the lakers probably were saved a disaster when the ad trade didn't push through.

All eyes is on the Lebron's vs Gianni's now. I'm sure every NBA fans wanted to Lebron's team to win because of its firepower. Anyways, here is a good article specially the stats of both teams.

It is a remarkable time for kuzma showing his capabilities, knowing that the game is composed of pure rising Stars, the future of NBA new legends, with that dominations he will be remembered and fans will delight him more, though I voted for Team World, I still adored and congratulate the team.

Can't wait to watch what would be the outcome of the rivals between team Gianni's and team LeBron's.,

Wow, I thought Team World will take this one, but Team World was shooting poor specially in three points category and had more turnovers. Simmons lead them with 28 points, while Team USA had Kuzma with 35 points.

So he takes the MVP this year. Hats-off to him. It will also bring more confidence to him as a Laker.

Yeah! I'm so disappointed because for me Simmons-Luka is a powerhouse combo (I think I just probably overrate them) and yet they were beaten by USA. Well, the match is so close because of small pount lead but I noticed that the wind change in the 4th quarter. World committed more ball errors and more ball movement on the other side. That's the reason why they get beaten up, according to my observation.

Hey! Why you are not talking about the celebrity game? Lol, nevermind. I'm not interested either .

Team Lebron will still most likely gonna win this game.

It's just an exhibition game and lack of defense but Lebron is still very competitive, I have a feeling that he will win the All star MVP if their team win.
Once again here are the list of the starters, No offense to Team Giannis backers but  Team Giannis starters is like a bunch of rookies to me compared to Lebron's.


Team Lebron starters
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving,  Kawhi Leonard, James Harden,


Team Giannis starters
Giannis Antetokounmpo,Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kemba Walker
