Nice that someone recognizes Duncans greatness. He makes a good point about comparisons. Everyone looking for a SG/SF to compare to Jordan. A PF/C like Duncan can be compared to Russell/Kareem.

I just saw an article today about who would have been the starting line up for the 1999 All Star Game if there had been one. That was lockout year.
And the western conference starting 5 was, Gary Payton, Kobe, Shaq, K. Garnett and K. Malone. I was like, you gotta be kidding me lol There was a small mention about Duncan but that was it.

This would be great for cases like when Harrison Barnes was traded mid game. You can just automatically change his jersey name and everything and he just looks down and be like 'welp, it looks like ive been traded.' lol

a player with the numbers 1 & 2 on his jersey still representing the spurs in the all star game. 21 and now 12

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Kawhi in the hotel room looking at that jersey like hmm can I change the jersey color too? Bc I wonder what I look like in Clipper colors...

[NameLess Scrub]

Seems like bad bunny is going to use his fame to live another childhood fantasy by being part of the all Star weekend.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Ask would be hilarious is if in the middle of the game we change LMAs name to Bowen :lol

Ray Allen going off on these scrubs in the celebrity game. The term “celebrity” being used very lightly here.

[FkLA]

Is that Danny Green commentating in the USA vs World game? Damn the league really doesn't give a fuck about SA. As soon as he leaves he gets an invite to the 3PT shootout and gets a mic.

Meanwhile, Demar DeRozan is still in the parking lot.

Duncan won the '99 Finals MVP (better than anything all star game-related).

Trae Young out here nutmegging guys left and right and throwing oops for highlight dunks.

I'm not feeling the nba anymore right now. It's like watching a movie when you already know the ending but you've never seen the in between. GS, wins it all end of story.

[Blackhaus]

GS has had one of the most fortunate and healthy runs in all of pro sports history, it cant last forever. When beta leaves and they resign donkey and “I can’t jump over a phone book” Cousins to rediculous contracts, the story will change.

[John B]

Duncan won the '99 Finals MVP (better than anything all star game-related).
Freaking nephew’s fault missing that FT that could’ve tied Jordan’s number of rings, then we don’t have this discussion Duncan vs Kobe. Again, fuck Kawhi :lol

Disgusting, seeing LA in Silver and Black brings me rage. Should've went with LMA.

[NameLess Scrub]

So.. just make a long 3 and forget about making the pass or going through the court quicker.

:lol

He sucked. I was hoping he had a little bit of game.

[ace3g]

Green with 23 in the first round.

Joe Harris defeats Buddy and Steph in the Final.

[BatManu20]

Joe Harris with the goods. Defeats Curry in the Finals. Gets the silent treatment from disappointed fans who’s wanted Curry to win when hoisting the trophy :lol

[ace3g]

3 point contest should be final contest.

[Millennial_Messiah]

3 point contest should be final contest.
Millennial ball sucks, I miss gen X ball when the dunk and the iso dribble drive was king :cry

Gordon vs Lavine was the greatest dunk contest of all time

[ismael-robert]

So many crap 3pt shooters in that contest...shame leavin out Davis. Those low scores n near air balls...pathetic

[KDKSpurs24]

Gordon vs Lavine was the greatest dunk contest of all time
And they should still be dunking because that last dunk by Gordon should have been a 50 as well.. he did that dunk better than anyone I’ve seen. Only reason I feel he didn’t get a 50 was because 1) judges must have been ready to leave and 2) he didn’t hype the crowd before the dunk

[BackHome]

Curry loosing to a no name all I well in the world

[Robz4000]

Last interesting dunk contest was JRich vs Iggy. God how long has that been? :lol

Zach Lavine vs Aaron Gordon a few years ago was great.

[BillMc]

Amen. Davis was robbed.

If they picked the best dunk instead of giving 50s Aaron would have won, and Aaron was robbed imo. Definitely up there among the GOAT dunk contests.

That distance from Kawhi though :lol

https://sneakernews.com/2019/02/15/new-balance-kawhi-leonard-omn1s-release-info/

[RC_Drunkford]

lol at bums on this forum reading into pictures to come up with some made up conclusions about players relationships. LA and Kawhi always sat next to each other on the bench and cracked jokes. LA and Dame have also buried the hatchet and LA wants to exchange jerseys with him. Yet you faggots are in here with a measuring stick on your computer monitor:lmao

[daslicer]

I live in Charlotte so I have hung out at the Epicenter the last few days. For those of you who don't know what the Epicenter is it is bunch of restaurants and clubs that are in a small space outside of the Spectrum Arena where the Hornets play. The NBA has set up a lot of their fan activities and events at the Epicenter. I actually met Bruce Bowen today at a bar the NBA set up called Budlight. Bruce was pretty classy and very friendly. I took a picture with him but I won't post it here for privacy reason.

I also went to the Saturday practice. I had great seats about 5 rows behind court side. One thing I will say is that #2 and LMA ignored each other for most of the practice. There was a funny part where they teamed up LMA with some random kid and had his team compete against #2 and some random kid in a pop a shot contest. #2's teams went first. LMA went second and it was pretty funny to see LMA go all out to beat #2 in the pop shot contest. LMA won the contest. It was after the pop a shot contest that both LMA and #2 started talking to each other.

[timtonymanu]

They’re all the same distance in the top row

[tbdog]

All star game on and here I am watching condensed games. all star game is a joke and half time shows are worse.

Leonard. :greedy

:cry Why did Kawhi have to be a bitch? :cry

[loveforthegame]

Leonard, smiling, clapping, dancing, looking happy. Weird to see.

[horseshue]

I don't know how about others, but to me 2 fga in all star game is just disrespectful.

[SouthTexasRancher]

LMA only 2 pts.? He won the lowest score contest, I guess. The NBA is really sucking big time this season. It all seems so discombobulated and in general is simply put, a cluster-fuck.

[james evans]

I wouldn't have even hugged him. MF talking shit about me in public for the others..

As for the game, Lebron just ensured that Leonard won't be going to the Lakers. Leonard looked like he was gonna get MVP in the 3rd and he gets benched in the 4th(and I'm sure Lebron was behind it). hahaa. I'm happy though cuz I haave alway and will ALWAYS hate the lakers.

[slick'81]

Let it go guys kawhi is married to someone else now

[Dex]

I don't know how about others, but to me 2 fga in all star game is just disrespectful.

He wasn't really looking for shots. He had plenty of opportunities to work his way into the post, but seemed content to pass the ball around.

Lame, too...because he let it fly on his first touch and got nothing but net.

All-Star Game just isn't suited for LMA. He deserved the honors, but he's not the type to be out there high-flying or jacking up step-back threes.

yeah I agree his game isn’t really flashy and he does the dirty work.

He was being a good teammate playing the game the right way by being unselfish and passing to his teammates compared to all the ballhogs jacking up shots and missing! Typical on how the NBA is now! A bunch of selfish ballhogs all out for their own stats for themselves!

[sammy]

I didn't watch All Star Saturday night due to Bertans and Belinelli not being in the 3 point contest even though their stats are better than some of the scrubs on the contest. It was setup for the bitch Curry to win but getting the alert that someone beat him brought me joy! Hate that arrogant little jackass!

Then it will also bring you joy to hear that he was the reason (along with Westbrook) his team lost in the actual all star game,going 4-17 from 3 and bricking all over the place in his hometown!

[bdictjames]

Pretty sure Steph stole the show with the bounce pass to Giannis and the reverse dunk at the end. Glad to see him in his hometown. It is for the fans' entertainment after all, and he did not disappoint.

He was AWFUL in the all star game and the biggest reason Greek freak’s team lost. Those two moments were cool but he was easily one of the worst players on the court. Absolute trash for the ASG.

Kawhi did what most Spurs fans couldn't...He has already move on.

That's why he can hug Pop, former teammates or DRob.

He looks happy. It seems like he found inner peace...
