    The NBA is full of manufactured stars. If Dame is next on the list, I'll take it. League favor usually brings better treatment from the refs. He'll get his shot back. He just dropped 30+ and 10 assists on the Pacers. The guy is legit. He's just going through a sophomore slump.

    Yeah, you are probably right. I've been complaining about the NBA star system for so long now that I'm definitely not about to complain when the eye of Sauron finally swings toward Portland and anoints a star.

    Just have a funny feeling about this. Probably nothing. (to quote every horror film ever.)

    The hard thing is that he clearly has lost some confidence in his outside shot. That's a hard thing to get back. You just have to shoot your way out of it, and there's no amount of practice that will get it done either. It has to be in game, under the bright lights, and in front of the cameras. I'm actually really hoping that All-Star weekend will jolt him out of his slump a bit. The three point contest could be just what the doctor ordered.... or it could blow up in his face. I guess we'll see.

    It's like the NBA decided last summer that he was who they wanted to focus some attention on, and they can't deviate from their script. Because aside from the first few weeks of the season, he certainly hasn't deserved the attention this year - he's taken a step backwards after his great rookie season.

    Being the starting PG on a 36-15 team and getting voted
    By the coaches to the AS game means he doesn't deserve attention. ffs

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Natebishop3 again.

    I'm hoping the three point contest will jolt him out of this mini slump. I think it will.

    Not a bad night for Dame.

    He got a "B" for the three point contest.
    http://espn.go.com/nba/allstar2014/...st/three-point-contest-nba-all-star-game-2014

    He got a "B" for the dunk contest.
    http://espn.go.com/nba/allstar2014/...dunk/slam-dunk-contest-nba-all-star-game-2014

    He got an "A" for the skills challenge.
    http://espn.go.com/nba/allstar2014/...lenge/skills-challenge-nba-all-star-game-2014

    And he got a "B" for the Rising Stars event.
    http://espn.go.com/nba/allstar2014/story/_/page/scorecard-team-hill/team-hill-nba-all-star-game-2014

    Three "B" grades and an "A". Not bad for a busy night.
