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.

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 Smiley 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 Smiley

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

Steph tried it but missed. Lillard won't though because its Dame Time.  Grin
I will be more glad if these two guys really made their peace together.

I love how Jokic is having fun with Giannis.
Fooling around and even giving up the All-Star MVP trophy to Jokic for fun.  Grin

Domantas Sabonis won the skills challenge. Luka Doncic and Chris Paul couldn't make the final even though they only played one round, lol. Sabonis and Vucevic played final round and they both were terrible at the last 3-pt line. Sabonis made the point only in 4th try.

Now in 3-points contest Stephen Curry tries his chance 7th time, he has only 1 win (in 2015). Why would they let him make appearance for 7 time though? Looks like terrible marketing to me.

Stephen Curry won the 3-points contest today and that would give him another title. That was a close match in the final round with Conley. Steph 28 points to beat Conley’s 27 in the final round.

All star 2021... So many moments 😎 halfway through
LeBron's dazzling dunks, of course Giannis too and then the guys in their early 20s Zion and Tatum🤗.
Curry's 2 logo 3's between the TA in the ALL STARS, Curry with the alley and Cp3 doing the same right afterwards 🤤. The Chef and Dame showed us some half court 3's. C'mon it's got to be 2021.

NBA All-Star Winner
Team LeBron - 4 (100%)
Team Durant - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 4

I closed the poll, thanks to other three voters. Only 4 votes and all of them goes for Team LeBron. Smiley
The game just started. We will see Slam Dunk Contest in half time. Match is not that exciting until now, too many missed shots and dunks. Hopefully it will be better in second half.

Fans respect him as one of those legit outside shooter and even he's appearance rises up to this level many still continue to support him. My 2 cents of mind.

By the way here's the result as he (Curry) won he's second 3-points all-star shoot out title.

The big guys are running things so far in the skills competition.  It's always fascinating why that happens.  I'm guessing size gives you an advantage on the drills, but if you put a defender in to the mix things would be changed quite a bit.  Nevertheless, I'm expecting Chris Paul to rise to the occasion and try to get himself another award.  Glad this All Star experience is on TNT.  Great to see Ernie and the gang handling the festivities.

It's pretty much confirmed, Blake Griffin to the Nets:

Blake Griffin has cleared free agency waivers and the six-time NBA All-Star is expected to sign with the Brooklyn Nets.

Griffin is not the athlete he once was but has improved his jump shot over the years and he is a pretty decent passer/playmaker. Not that the Nets were lacking talent but with Blake coming this might be the move that puts them over the top in the East, at least. Hard to see anyone beating them in a seven-game series, if they have a healthy roster.

What do you guys think, is this a good signing for the Nets?

I’m less concerned with who wins the all star game than I am with seeing some great plays. I’d like to see LeBron/Steph do something special and a great dunk contest. Doing it at halftime of the all star game should keep things moving and entertaining. Looking forward to it!
I do love to see the moves that those participants or players would able to make because team up like this do only happen once which means possible good moves and executions can really be seen.

Im not really minding much on who's gonna win as long i do get the entertainment i do seek.

All star is just all about entertainment, less or no defense at all so they can make exhibition shots to entertain the crowd, but for me I still cheer in a certain team and I think Leonard will get a chance to win an all star MVP if Team Lebron will lose. Also, this is a high scoring game because of the lack of defense and fans love a high scoring game.

Alright guys it's a little late but I added a poll about All-Star. Everything about All-Star is late this year anyway. Smiley
Which team do you think will win this entertainment game? You are already commenting your opinions here but we will see it in visual with that poll too. I hope everybody join before the game starts.

It is going to be a very easy for Team Lebron if you ask me, they are much much better than Team Durant, and lack of Durant in team Durant is a big deal, I think that would have been a big positive for them. I am still mad that they didn't pick my guy Demar Derozan for all-star he definitely deserved it much more than many other players, but certainly more than Mike Conley for sure, that is 100% guaranteed that he was better.

I really hope that it is entertaining, for millions of Europeans it is in a horrible hour, Asia is a bit more lucky because for them it is in the morning, they can just wake up and watch it, for me it is going to be at an hour where I can't just wake up at that hour, but I can't wait for that hour and then not sleep for the whole game neither, it is going to be a bit of a tough situation for me, hence why I think it is going to be hard to stay awake, but I will try.
