    I remember watching that with all my roommates and we couldn’t believe what we saw him attempt to do. Shouldn’t it be considered illegal though. I know you aren’t allowed to PUNCH the ball.

    The only thing illegal in an all-star game is playing defense.

    In Raef’s defense, he was clearly fouled.

    Looks like the Knicks could be building a contender much quicker than when they tried through the draft. That team struggled with not only getting top picks when they were bottom dwellers but even drafting period.

    this is much more interesting to me.



    Why wouldn't they have Zion playing center?

    Because he won't play center at the "next level". He needs a develop his "guard skills".

    I don't see why it matters which one is labeled as a "center"?

    Zion is only 6'6" so maybe whoever is a taller starter on the Pelicans is who most people call the center. Herb is a much better defender and will be the key on that end if those guys are the two big men on the floor. Sure Zion may spend time guarding the tallest or slowest player from the other team.

    Labelling guys by positions is primarily to help casual fans understand the game.
