I said,before the season that he would drop 50. Not sure it's going to be that game, but I still believe.
Interesting hearing him talk about the 3pt and Skills challenge. If he doesn't make it on the actual all star team he's probably a lock to be involved in some sense.
I wish that were so, but again with Dame being down so far, I highly doubt they will bring two Blazers into the 3pt or skills comp. IT will be Dame and CJ will be out of those too. The west just has too many good guards that are sharpshooters. You have to figure Curry, and Thompson are near locks, you have Dame and possibly Korver and thats only 2 spots left I think per challenge? Its it six players for the 3pt contest? ( the team concept for skills is lame IMO)
Dames not going to do the skills challenge anymore. He'd probably still do the 3-pt, but not as a consolation for missing the ASG.
If he thinks what I think about the skills challenge being a team thing, than your probably right. If they are back to individual, then I would think he would like to defend his title again?
Bring 'em both to the skills competition; let 'em team up together. I think that would be a pretty cool way to do it, actually--match up specific teams' starting backcourts.
great call, that would be the ONLY way I think it could and would work while still being somewhat legit. CJ and DAme would rip everyone else apart. Thompson has no handles compared to CJ, etc...
Pre-injury, I think Phoenix's backcourt could have matched up well. Perhaps Boston. Houston would do well (if Harden deigned to participate). I wouldn't sleep on Denver's guards. Sure, we'd be the favorites, but I'd love to see it play out. I think they could really make something worthwhile out of that event if they tried.
Absolutely. The all star weekend is all about representing your team, so how can you have a team oriented event with players from different cities on the same all star event team? But if made city against city, Id love to see that actually. And Id like to see maybe a new challenge or two that involved them both participating at the same time, like a trimmed back and forth pass full court without dribbling or traveling and then laying it up or something. Something that forces the two teammates to work together rather than take turns.
