I really respect Parker for doing the Skills Challenge against a bunch of young guys.  I'm rooting for the Frenchman in this one.

Well that's an interesting tidbit. Jrue Holiday was the first player born in the 90s to play in the NBA.

Parker or Lillard

Curry EASILY for the 3 point

Green EASILY for the slam dunk

Curry EASILY for the 3 point

Green EASILY for the slam dunk

There's never "easily". With James Flight White and Steve Novak

I blew it on Steph.  Kyrie should win then.  The rest are pure spot ups.  Spot ups rarely do well.  It always the great three point shooters who can score too.

White isn't as athletic anymore.  Faried is a game dunker, Evans and Bledsoe are overrated, and I don't even remember who else is in the contest.  Green will easily take the competition.

Edit: Terrence Ross is a game dunker

Kyrie is that dude. He needs to get out of Cleveland, though.

That awkward moment when you forget if Kyrie is human or not. Clutchest player in the NBA already. Wow. I think he could be better than LeBron at the end of the road. This kid is absolutely ridiculous.

Not unless he learns how to defend in a hurry. Even then, no.

Dunk contest this year.

Not bad.

Edit: alright...Green* and White...hopefully Faried steps it up

Edit: all these missed dunks are making me cringe

Gerald Green is simply a special dunker, he should win this one... assuming he executes his dunks.
Title: Re: Talk: All Star Saturday
Post by: mqtcelticsfan on February 16, 2013, 10:30:59 PM
Missing the same dunk 4 times should be an automatic 0.

Ehh... I don't know about this. Evans's dunk was nice. I liked it.

I like the commercials too! Sears was nice ;)

Ever? Worse than last year?xD I think this years' contest is okay. :P Kyrie put on a show, Lillard is skilled. "No Big Shot Bob"... I want to see moar dunks!

This format is going to murder the finals. I demand more James White and Gerald Green in the finals.

This has been a disappointing attempt by Gerald.

Horrible choices of dunks. Dunks that even if made, just look bad.

What I mean is the missed dunks put wet towels on the dunk contest.

Gerald Green should automatically be in the championship just to see what he else he has left in his sleeve

but i agree, this dunk contest is  :-\

and i thought last years was bad...

Post by: bfrombleacher on February 16, 2013, 10:58:15 PM
Respect to Jeremy Evans.

That was pretty cool lol

Must say I'm pleasantly surprised. Ross and Evans are doing good.

Evans's "floating" dunk is 10000x better than Blake Griffin's product placement.

wow this is so lame and boring, worst all-star saturday ever.

I stopped watching years ago. Slam dunk contest is pretty much inane, skills contest is insipid, and watching guys shoot threes around the arc holds no interest for me. I also don't watch the all star game anymore.

Props, gimmicks and repeats ruined the Dunk Contest. I'd rather guys get creative with just the basketball and their god given talents. I enjoyed Ross' Dunks and think he deserved the win. BTW, you can tell he only used the kid because of Evans prop overkill.

I think this can sum it up.

Too many misses, White was a little too hyped up

He cant actually speak english properly, get players names right, or show any enthusiasm for what he is covering.
