    Yup. This is most likely his last All-Star game. That's how I saw it as well.

    That may be right. I remember when Magic was named MVP of the All Star game over Clyde. I sometimes wonder about giving extra recognition to the old guard at the expense of the younger guys. Clyde never won an ASG MVP. Magic had plenty of accolades by then. If Dame never wins an MVP, I’ll think about those minutes Paul was gifted and will wonder if that made the difference.

    If LeBron hadn’t taken himself out of the game, I wonder how many minutes Dame would have gotten.

    Kind of funny that the guy who won MVP and the guy who was probably runner up, who were the top scorers in the game, only got 19 and 21 minutes, respectively. I guess it matters more what you do with your minutes than the number you get. Probably a life lesson in there somewhere if I wasn’t too thick-headed to look for it.

    Today's SF Chronicle was all Curry. Dame barely got a mention. Hope he remembers next time Blazers play GSW.

    i haven't read the rest of the thread so this may have been mentioned but Giannis also got most of his points in the first half when zero D was being played. Dunks and layups aRe super easy with no defense.

    That's the basis of the entire argument. It was a layup drill for him.

    That was bad ass. More about Dame than Steph. As it should be.

    I love how much the players love Dame. I still wonder if we should’ve traded CJ and pieces for Harden. Harden actually wanted to play in Portland. We were on his list. For one reason probably. Dame.

    Did Harden actually say that or was our name just on the list so they had leverage?
