DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 That double-tap dunk was really special. Donovan Mitchell had the better night, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like what Nance did. Â Fun dunk contest!

dfwabel Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Â I'll take your word for it. Â As soon as the Lakers PA guy introduced AC Slater (Mario Lopez) at the start of the show, we tapped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many tribute dunks in old players' jerseys. The only dunk that impressed me was Dennis Smith's 360-through-the-legs dunk, and he didn't even make the finals.

kimball Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Agreed. I thought the Dwight Howard tap dunk was much better than Nance's two hand dunk.  Overall though this dunk contest was better than last year's dud.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I think the Nance dunk is different because he uses to hands and he does the tap when he's up there, while Howard did it on the ascent. Both are cool though. Â I'm not sure what's up with JJ Redick: https://streamable.com/rfjc6 Â The link is a video of NBA players wishing Chinese fans happy new year. Redick says "I wish all the NBA ch*nk fans of China..." I can't believe he would be that stupid and maybe it was a weird mispronunciation. But it clearly sounds like a slur. NBA Reddit has blown up about it. His Twitter isn't that great right now either. If thre's anything true about the NBA right now, it's that you can't piss off China.

alxy8s Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Excellent All Star Game! Got a little bored with the zero pass, early shot clock, long three point attempt possessions at the start of the game, but it really improved. More than a passable effort throughout by almost every player and the fourth quarter was great. It seems that the draft made it more fun for the players. Televising it will obviously happen next year. My only other suggestion would be to completely open up player selection: take the top 24 players regardless of conference and let the captains choose anyone from that pool regardless of who the "starters" are.  Thank god C-Webb was on mic. Cannot stand Reggie Miller in any setting and Marv Albert's assessment of the defense on every single possession got very old, very fast. Does any other league have so many announcers that simply refuse to let fans enjoy what they're watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really fun game! Especially at the end. If Durant and LeBron ever played for an actual team together, Jesus Christ. The way they swallowed up Steph at the end there was disgusting.  Lastly, can everyone in the Black Eyed Peas community disappear forever? Fergie pretending to be Marvin Gaye was an embarrassment to everyone.  EDIT:  Sometimes the NBA is the best.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 On the one hand, Duke (kidding). Â But yeah, it was weird that he seemed to have said a slur so clearly, but he probably has a microphone shoved in front of his face constantly. Someone really should have caught that during editing. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm reading a lot about how awful the intro and national anthem was -- which, fair -- however the N.E.R.D. halftime show absolutely ruled.

BBTV Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I guess Lebron said in some interview that the Sixers were one of the best teams in the East, or at least one that would be contending for the title soon, then Ben Simmons posted the photo below with the caption of "June 30th Midnight" (apparently James posted something also about Simmons and Embiid though I can't find it) then James posted a photo of himself getting a triple double in a video game as the Sixers.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Is Ben Simmons with Klutch? Â Maybe LeBron goes to Philadelphia -- it'd be a good fit -- but I think this is more repping his sports talent agency (which is clearly totally normal no its not). 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
