    Hopefully the rest of the contests are better. I don't know why the NBA can't recreate the buzz of the Home Run Derby. They used too.

    Donovan Mitchell is my favorite player in the NBA that isn’t Dame/LeBron.

    Some good dunks, but I was hoping for more. Enjoyed the throwbacks.

    Just like to point out we got a potentially great player. It's not like we picked Nolan Smith over him.

    And to be fair any draftee in the lottery is a ‘potentially great’ player

    Funny. I thought the opposite about Anthony Bennett after seeing him at UNLV.

    I feel so bad for that guy... worst player in the league AND #1 overall pick, that’s the cruelest of jokes to play, God.

    Joe Ingles has been the best 3pt shooter in the NBA for the last two seasons. He was 3rd in the NBA last season (behind Korver, and Crabbe) shooting 44.1%. He is currently 2nd in the NBA this season (behind Thompson) shooting 45.3% .

    But the All-Star Weekend is about marketing, not recognising the best.

    30 year old, balding, white guys, from Australia, don't sell many jerseys.

    Same shit, different year. Dunk contest judging is a joke.

    He's not even in the league. He's in the G League.

    Granted we're playing well right now but in hindsight it'd be nice to have have Mitchell to trade CJ for a legit SF/PF. Mitchell would obviously fill in as the starting two guard.

    The NBA really needs to something about the Dunk contest.
