Official All-Star Weekend Orlando 2012 Thread

[Mexi]

well at least i called the Skills Challenge
didnt post it here, but I had Tony Parker winning it

 

[Mexi]

Could of sworn he was a rookie lol. What a completely unrelevant player though, wow.
They could fix all their problems by putting dudes in with names in the league. No one gives a fuck bout Jeremy Evans or Chase Budinger lol.

Chandler Parsons, Chase Budinger, Jeremy Evans, Jerry Stackhouse (im giving James Jones a pass because he was defending his crown)

what the hell are these guys going in all-star events?

and if they're going to pick no names, why dont they pick the top 3P shooters in the league? Brandon Rush is shooting 52% from 3 and no invite.

Dunk contest was terrible. When it ended I seriously had no idea who was going to win... I honestly couldn't believe it was over after D-Will's last dunk...

Only impressive dunks were Evan's two ball dunk and Williams 360 off the side of the backboard.

I don't know what they can do to fix this. Seems like we've just seen everything there is to do so the contest is less exciting each year.

 

[Mexi]

Jeremy Evans has played 89 minutes this season

 

[BlackMamba]

I called Parker winning skills, Love winning 3 pt, but I had Derrick Williams on the Dunk contest. still 2 out of 3.

 

[SaintFan25]

Paul George should've won imo. The Tron reverse windmill was sick. Overall though this was probably the worst dunk contest ever.

 

[bosoxlover12]

IMO next year, it should be a team based HORSE dunk contest

Team MIA: Wade/James
Team NYK: STAT/JR Smith
Team LAC: Blake/D.Jordan
Team OKC: Russy/KD

 

[.infamous]

u mean blake/cp3*

 

[bosoxlover12]

Jordan is a far better dunker than CP3, not even a question

Saturday's All-Star was a snooze fest.

Glad I recorded it so I could skip through it!

Dunk contest was bad - Evans deserved it with the double dunk & the Malone tribute dunk over Kevin Hart - no-one seemed to be giving his Malone tribute dunk any props but the best on the night for me.

He dunked over a midget

No matter who does it - that shit is still cool as.

go pro or go home

Cant wait for the ASG tonight, gonna see some nice alley oops back and forth.

The entire allstar Saturday night is a joke. It really puts no emphasis on the allstar part of it.

The only thing that really had allstars was the skills comp and they mostly halfassed it.

It'd be great if they did like the NFL used to do with their skills comp, only the guys in the game should participate on Saturday night.

Though I know that will never happen so I'm ok with having guys like John Wall, Derrick Williams, etc. at least guys actually know those names.

 

[Stro]

The ASG itself should be good - one thing that I was impressed with (which I didn't think I would be) was the Rising Stars Challenge game on Friday night. The new format worked well to my surprise.

 

[Pugz]

go pro or go home

trust me, I wish I was lol.

The game tonight should be a good one though but not good enough to make up for the lame Saturday.
