Chuck’s team that should read damn auto correct!

[Robz4000]

Terrible for this kind of game though.

[baseline bum]

Nice, Charles has my three favorite players in the league to watch in Victor, Jokic, and Giannis. But it's gonna be triple towers lineups most of the game between Jokic, Victor, Giannis, KAT, and Sengun aside from the minutes Siakam plays. And SGA+Mitchell should play whole games.

Don’t know much about the format, just hoping one of those other 3 also demands a trade to the Spurs! Perfect networking opportunity.

[blackbucket]

Put cash money on Chuck’s team.

First to 40 is the game.

[Davidicus]

Tons of bigs but you have Jokic as a point forward when needed. This is going to be a fun experiment at minimum.

[RC_Drunkford]

I guess Wemby is gonna play SF

[DAF86]

I don't know. I feel Wemby and Giannis are gonna be try-hards and that could result in some wins.

[Mal]

its clearly is was setup - team world, team old farts, team youngins

[Dex]

First to 40 is the game.

That's the problem with this new format...these teams are going to hit 40 in like 5 minutes. And then if you are the losing team, welp that was your All-Star appearance.

[KingKev]

Have to admit I could care less about the game but good for our two young fellas and CP to represent the squad. I’ll maintain the NBA does very much so respect our institution.

[timtonymanu]

I’m conflicted. I find the all star games so lame now but I’m down to watch Wemby.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah wtf is this format. Sometimes less is more.

[thOOdee]

I don't know, I'm kind of intrigued by this new format. I'm sure over time it will be played out, but if the likes of KD are annoyed by it I think that's a good sign. Says something about how the days of all-stars playing with absolutely zero competitiveness are over. It's a little more embarrassing for someone to make the team and go home in a whimper. Maybe now they play 5% level of effort.

Yes, but hopefully that’ll encourage them to play hard. None of these guys want to get embarrassed

[LeBowen]

Chuckster's team is going to win it all, GUARANTEEEED!

Seriously, does anyone even watch this circus?

the generation who ruined the all star game has no room to complain when the league tries to change things tbh. the all star game was always a circus to be fair, but it at least resembled a basketball game, and they would actual play for real in cruncthime. now.... its just shootaround. nobody even moving at half speend unless they're gearing up for an uncontested dunk

[rjv]

kenny smith claiming that the international players don't care. might be true about Jokic but not so sure this applies to the rest of the roster.

[LeBowen]

Btw, all-star draft reminded me of Chuck's top10 moment:

His face when he realized. :lmao

They'll need to treat the game like it actually matters for their pride. Otherwise, they'll be run off the court.

I like the change.

i think ive watched the full version of that video at least 5-6 times over the years. really funny segment all around. its also really funny looking back at how dated their picks are, how low the modern players are, etc

best moment in recent years was lebron/kd draft and KD was hilariously avoiding picking harden at all costs after he bailed on the nets and nobody could hold back their laughter

[BatManu20]

Now is the time for Wemby to recruit Giannis and Joker to the Spurs tbh. Don't blow it kid.

100% confident that if anyone can do it Wemby can. He’s just too legit and genuine to think anything otherwise.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Well, maybe they should win then.

[Dex]

Well, maybe they should win then.

Two teams are bound to lose in the first round, and that's that. Boom, that's your time, thanks for coming out.

What would be wild is if one of the "All-Star" teams gets knocked out by the Rising Stars.

[Dex]

Yes, but hopefully that’ll encourage them to play hard. None of these guys want to get embarrassed

I hope that's the case...but I'll believe it when I see it.

Hopefully Wemby goes out there and tries to shut down anybody who dares to go near the rim.

[exstatic]

Yeah wtf is this format. Sometimes less is more.

This is less. Who wants to watch48 minutes of garbage tine?

If you get taken out in the first 40-point session, that's too bad. Should have won!

That would start a narrative where the next year's all-stars would be determined to not lose to the rooks and sophs.



Don't make me start liking these all-star ideas lol. I am determined decide after I see them in action.

[KDKSpurs24]

This draft was so rigged. USA vs World has always been something they wanted to try and this is the closest thing that they can do to make it happen without going all in with that. I’m sure they would have wanted it to be Luka instead of Donovan Mitchell on Chuck’s team but he has been hurt this year. USA, World and younger up and coming stars. I’m fine with it but it’s just really obvious.

[John B]

So is Wemby playing in the Rising Star also, and the winner plays the AS Team winner? Wemby to play with CP3 also in the Skills Challenge?? Man he’s going to be the brightest star on this weekend

He was originally selected for Rising Star but declined once he made All-Star: https://www.poundingtherock.com/2025/2/1/24356797/victor-wembanyama-will-not-participate-in-the-rising-stars-challenge

[TDomination]

i only watch these games when someone from our team represents it.

last time was dejounte in 2022 and before that I believe Kawhi in 2017. regardless of how terrible it may be, i'll be watching.
but hopefully its not terrible.

Was that Skills Challenge a known thing? Why am I just finding about it right now :lol

Well ST is the best source of everything about the Spurs (plus Pop’s political views, etc), but now you know :lol

Gotcha. Thanks. :toast

lol they stuck KAT on the international team... "you're like, part dominican right? okay, to the international team you go buddy!"

He played for the Dominican Republic in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

Sure, but he was born in New Jersey. Likewise, Mitchell was born in New York. Those two are just the guys who were left over that didn't fit into the pre-defined teams they were trying to build.

You can also tell this was staged, because there is no shot that Wemby would only be picked 12th if each of these 3 guys were actually "drafting"

Definitely staged. The fact that Kenny said Wemby wouldn't try hard or put in any effort in his first All-Star game was just asinine. We all saw how pissed Wemby was after Ant (who Kenny drafted) didn't take last year's skills challenge seriously.

Kenny's brain checked out years ago. But we will still have to listen to his annoying-ass "IT'S OVAH" bullshit a thousand times during the dunk contest.

Seriously, does anyone even watch this circus?

The only title he had ever won.

[Davidicus]

With Trae replacing Giannis, I assume that he slots right into Chuck’s team.

Are we going to have a Trae Wemby moment that half this board points to for the next 12mo?

[spursparker9]

Trae with the audition of his life
