lol ASG ratings

[lefty]

Not surprised tbh

RT austinKarp Looks like NBA AllStar game viewership, even with TNT+TBS, was lowest since 2012, when Oscars were head to head. SNL 40th special killed it

[hater]

who wants to watch an allstar game for a league where your top 2 players are the most mentally soft players in decades?

I skipped the game too tbqh

[Technique]

When was the all star game?

[100%duncan]

Didn't even watch. Shitty glorified pick-up game.

[lefty]

Not to mention that TNT's coverage/broadcast was very very very shitty

I'm sure you had much better things to do in that shit hole you call home.:lol

[jeebus]

:cry whaaaaaaa? you mean people don't want to see moon crickets making their slave ship noise, no talent singers lip syncing, and a game that features chucking 3s and no defense? :cry

[jermaine]

I watched the game Friday night. That's it. I recorded the 3pt shootout an dunk contest. I could careless about the allstar game.

[TDfan2007]

They didn't miss much. It was a display of selfish, chucking basketball with very few "jaw-dropping" plays. That one Celebrity Jeopardy sketch was better than the entire damn ASG.

Tnts coverage overall it's shite now.

Tnts coverage overall it's shite now.

yup Shaq has lowered the bar immensely. He just likes to bully Chuck and old fattass can't do shit about it. It sucks terribly

True it wasnt just this weekend tbh

But it's not just Shaq tbh; they just seem to go more and more mainstream in their broadcast, and their shaky camera crew is shit, not to mention those retarded camera angles during the Saturday Night Events :lol

And dont get me started on Reggie

It is Shaq. It's ok to have one token field hand out there talking ebonics acting all slave honest and all, but Shaq sits around like a tub of shit all cross-eyed with that "I've been to the top of the mountain" look on his face, oblivious to the fact he's on TV. You cannot understand most of what he says because he's an oaf, and Ernie wishes cancer would have taken him years ago/envies Stuart Scott imo.

[mavsfan1000]

Shitty music and no defense killed it for me.

[Infinite_limit]

Meanwhile in 1988. All Star game more physical than your typical NBA game

I'd rather watch replays of the games from the 90's..This shit sucks, I didn't watch a minute of it all weekend.

[Malik Hairston]

The ASG has always been terrible, tbh..the only ASGs that were worth watching was in the early 2000s era IMO..

The players in the 80s and 90s just weren't entertaining, and the players from the mid-2000s to present have been gunning to win MVP since Kobe got booed in Philly for ball-hogging..

The early 2000s guys weren't concerned with MVP, they just played for entertainment's sake, despite most of them being inferior players from a historical standpoint..Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Steve Francis, Marbury, etc..those niggas were all highly entertaining in All-Star games, and even Shaq was pretty good, too..

[Malik Hairston]

To be fair, as shitty as the NBA ASG is, it's still probably the best ASG of all the major sports:lol..

I don't think anybody has watched the Pro Bowl in years, the MLB ASG is a farce(home field advantage, really?) and the NHL is irrelevant in the US, of course..

[Stalin]

^ its true, you ignorant |3eaner peons better recognize the most aesthetically pleasing All Star Game in NBA history.

[JamStone]

Le tits now

[Double-Up]

When was the all star game?

It came on while your were shopping for more white pants.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Not enough Ariana Grande tbh.

:lol:lol nice one

[UZER]

Even worse was the live tv broadcasts of the weekend events blasting in the arena. Shit sounded horrible with the hollow echo coming through the tv. It's was just stupid. Watching the event live is its own experience. Noplay by play needed. Plus the players are hearing everything being said.

Just disappointed with the over all direction of tnt. And Reggie, gawd that dude overly sucks players he likes dick it's unbearable.

[elmanutres]

all star game was just a glorified 3 pt contest. Shit most of the alley oops were incomplete. If this was 2001 the players would've completed most of those. The game has changed and it looks like this is the future of the all star game.

And the crowd sucked ass.

[jeebus]

the Pro Bowl

:lol NBA players get pissed when they don't get picked for the ASG, NFL players get pissed when they get picked for the pro bowl

[daslicer]

And the crowd sucked ass.

The crowd sucking is just part of the time we live in now. That is never going to change unfortunately because the ASG is event tailored made only for rich people to go to. Those type of fans are just there to be seen and thus you will have shitty crowds.

[Seventyniner]

Did anyone else pay attention right after Westbrook hit that last FT with 1.3 seconds left in the game? Pau Gasol took the ball out of bounds and Marc went to defend it even though the West was up 5. Marc then snapped his neck back like Pau elbowed him though it was completely obvious that he was nowhere near elbow range.

Was Marc really trying to flop in the ASG up 5 with 1.3 seconds left? Against his own brother? I sure hope it was a joke but I didn't see either of them laughing right afterward. Wish I had a gif of that.

The real problem is that all-star games are a relic from the past, back before services like League Pass, Sunday Ticket, Center Ice, and Extra Innings existed and events like these were the only way for stars outside of large markets to get national exposure. Nowadays, we can watch every team play every week, so there's no point in having these shitty-ass exhibition games anymore. The only reason they still exist is tradition.

He does that all the fucking time in actual games, not a surprise that he was doing it in the All-Star Game too.

[Aztecfan03]

It had to have been better than that SNL shit-show though.

[mudyez]

That was the first year I wasn't interested in seeing it...and I didn't see anything but one of the lavine dunks.

[unleashbaynes]

Ugh, Shaq is "dish it, but can't take it" personified. I'm glad Kirby left his dick in the dirt and won 5. The guy is so fucking insecure and I'd love to see Chuck throw that one in his face.

I felt bad for Shaq in this game. The west big men ganged up on him bad. He had to pay those dues lol.

He can't though. That is a cautionary tale & a consequence of being bereft in ring.
