What did we learn from the three point contest? Nothing new:
Paul Pierce is clutch, Ray Allen is not.
A three point shooter is probably going to win over non three point shooters.
The NBA will do nearly anything to ensure that Miami or Boston wins.
Agreed. They need to change the selection criteria. Just get the guys who bomb for a living. Jones said it himself, 95% of his shots are 3s.

Do the best dunkers ever win the dunk contest? I remember when Vince Carter won, but that's the last time it was interesting. Iguodala almost saved it, but the NBA decided Nate "30 attempts" Robinson was more important.

Nice to see the dunk contest is now a McMahon-orchestrated WWE contest.
Can't believe Vegas still takes bet on this fixed atrocity.

And then they were so busy showing the choir and shit they missed the beginning of Blake's dunk. Total fail on so many levels. The one really interesting dunk Blake was going to do he had to abandon.

Blake should not win b/c that last dunk was lame as hell. but since its voted by the fans, he's going to win. He should of jumped over the roof of the car.

Agreed. He basically didn't even jump over the car, just the very front of the bonnet. Still it was impressive, and he will win it.

Nice piece on Coach Pop.
AL HAMNIK: Not all fun and games in La-La Land (http://www.nwitimes.com/sports/columnists/al-hamnik/article_872feaf5-5f8b-5a7d-a0d3-710de42f8847.html)
By Al Hamnik
Given the chance, Gregg Popovich would've taken his wife out to dinner and some ballroom dancing, which he is quite skilled at, by the way.
Maybe even a wine-tasting tour, another favorite activity of the San Antonio Spurs coach.
But any hope for an extended weekend and much needed R&R went bye-bye with a league-leading 46-10 record that entitled Pop to coach the Western Conference squad in tonight's NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The weekend wasn't a total loss. He's got Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker all competing in some capacity.
Popovich gave a smirk when asked how he plans to coach the world's greatest players.
"You don't. I'm not gonna coach a lick, and I'm gonna have a helluva time," said the Merrillville grad. "Just thinking about walking in that locker room is a humbling and awesome experience; just to know you're in the same room with the best players on the planet.
"It almost makes you want to laugh. You have to pinch yourself to know that you're in that room. I think it would be quite forward on my part to try to coach those guys."
And so he'll lean back and basically be an observer from the best seat in the house.
"They can do whatever the hell they want to do," Pop said. "I'm just gonna enjoy it."
With the retirement of Utah's Jerry Sloan, Popovich is now the longest-tenured NBA coach with four championships and a 782-372 record in this, his 15th season. Many believe a fifth title is within reach, though it will be a battle to the end.

so i was watchin blakes over the car dunk = pathetic
the only thing he jumped over is a fkn car bonnet, the height of the bonnet is probably lower then the 3pt ball rack shooting contest or even the avg waist height of an nba player....now had he jump over the roof of that car then he can claim he jump over a car...
he might as well get a lambo or ferrari lowered to the ground and jumped over it...

Blake had to jump, clear the car, catch the pass, then dunk it. It wasn't "pathetic". But it also wasn't as good as his 360, or two of McGee's dunks.
At least the competition was worth watching this year, which it hasn't been for quite a while.

McGee's problem was that casual fans don't know how hard his dunks were; the judges gave him high marks for degree of difficulty, but McGee used up all his theater in the first round. Perhaps if McGee had done his dunks in reverse order, he'd have the trophy. Or he wouldn't have made it to the finals. Hard to tell.
