All-Star Weekend Thread

[spurraider21]

one place to discuss rising stars, skills challenge, dunk contest, and ASG, all of which will have spurs representation

[baseline bum]

They should do these celebrity games at 4:30 or something so the rising stars games could start at 7:00.

[DAF86]

Aside from some former athletes, I don't know a single person in this "celebrity" game.

[DAF86]

Bonds looking skinny without all those PEDs.

[Uriel]

So our two stars, Wemby and Castle, are our representatives this year, right?

[spurraider21]

So our two stars, Wemby and Castle, are our representatives this year, right?
Paul is also in the skills challenge (he and wemby together)

[scott]

Apologies in advance but I'm too lazy to figure out on my own... what time (Central is fine, I can do the HI conversion on my own :lol) does Castle's team play their first game tonight? Want to make sure I'm tuned in to that.

8:15CST per nba.com (Castle is on Team C)

[scott]

Thanks amigo!

[spursparker9]

:lol The announcer simply introduce Castle as a "point of attack defender".

Meanwhile Edey get "a serious ROY contender"

[spurraider21]

team with Amen/Ausuar/Bilal/Scoot is build for all-star game type scenarios with the full court running

[spursparker9]

:lol They are fixing nothing. Still as half ass as ever

[Degoat]

They gotta do away with this tournament style play, it doesn’t work!!! It’s such a bad look for showcasing the young players in the league if there done playing once a team scores 40 and you lose

[TekXX]

This is thrilling

[TekXX]

Castle with the winner.

[DAF86]

Esteban Castillo por la V!!!

[weeks]

castle with the game winner!

[spurraider21]

steph game winner over Sarr :tu

[DAF86]

:lol They are fixing nothing. Still as half ass as ever

Way better than the shit from previous years. At least you get a couple of possessions that actually matter.

[spursparker9]

Ice Castle

[tim_duncan_fan]

CASTLE withe gane-winner in the first match!


They gotta do away with this tournament style play, it doesn’t work!!! It’s such a bad look for showcasing the young players in the league if there done playing once a team scores 40 and you lose

Nah, I like it. Just don't lose and it's fine.

[spurraider21]

nah, with how lackadaisical the all star games have become, doing short bursts keeps the players (and fans) reasonably engaged. give the players a full 48 minute game and it becomes a layup contest with one team winning by 45

[spursparker9]

They should do away with FT. Any shooting foul just restart at sideline. Sped up the game

[John B]

Castle with the winning shot. 6pts, 4 assists, 4 rebounds and plenty of appreciations from everyone

[DAF86]

They should do away with FT. Any shooting foul just restart at sideline. Sped up the game

Just shoot one FT, make it worth 2 or 3, depending of what type of shooting foul it was. Without free throws, defenses can just foul in eternum.

[Mr. Body]

They should do away with FT. Any shooting foul just restart at sideline. Sped up the game

That just means shooting fouls all the time.

[CGD]

Damn, can someone post the game winner? I missed it. Didn’t realize this was today.

[John B]

#3 overall pick Reed plating for Team G-League :rollin

[rankingtear]

Were is Bronny and Dillingham does NBA not like ratings?

[lefty20]

Damn, can someone post the game winner? I missed it. Didn’t realize this was today.

1890594041370202444

[Mr. Body]

Reed making it in through the G League is something.

[TekXX]

lol Reed Shepard sucks

[spursparker9]

Man...I thought Reed would be 2nd coming of Curry

[Mr. Body]

One of the Thompsons missed like five free throws in a row.

[ace3g]

I actually like the low target score.

[Mr. Body]

G League vindicated forever.

[TekXX]

Why would this chick be surprised they'd go for the win? TNT scrapping the bottom of the barrel

[John B]

Team C has a chance to get to All-Star Finals. Win this Castle!

[John B]

One of the Thompsons missed like five free throws in a row.

It’s the other Thompson

[bdictjames]

Ausar "Nick Anderson" Thompson

[spursparker9]

Assuming Castle team win and proceed to the real all stars game, his team will need to win Team Shaq (OG team with Lebron, KD, curry etc) to meet Wemby in the final game

[Uriel]

Man...I thought Reed would be 2nd coming of Curry
He's averaging 30, 8, and 4 in the G-League.

[TekXX]

Oh lord Castle embarrassed himself

[Uriel]

Castle airball 3, yikes.

[Degoat]

Everyone is so afraid to play defense

[John B]

Let’s go Castle!

[Uriel]

I think the defensive effort is decent, about similar to what most people play in a typical pickup game.

[Uriel]

Knecht, wow.

[DAF86]

Is there an MVP? If so, Castillo is winning it, tbh.

[John B]

Castle playing like a man among boys

[ace3g]

Castle with the game winning assist!!!

[TekXX]

:pop: "Knecht is a bum, not worthy of the 8th pick

[100%duncan]

I hope Steph posterizes Wemby tbh. But that means they have to beat the OGs who wont let it happen :lol

[Robz4000]

Castle is a fucking stud.

[John B]

Castle playing in the big show! And all the love from TNT crew!

[thiste]

He has to be the MVP.

[SpurSpike]

Castle with 12 of those 25 points and some assists!

[DAF86]

Let's see what the big boys do on sunday, but so far this new format seems promising. It wasn't rocket science, though. It was pretty obvious a tournament format with short games would increase competitivity.

[100%duncan]

Steph a born winner :lol He prolly asks out earlier than Wemby tbh

[daslicer]

I think Castle will get the MVP. He held his team together and got them back in the game when they could have melted against the G-League team.

[100%duncan]

Let's see what the big boys do on sunday, but so far this new format seems promising. It wasn't rocket science, though. It was pretty obvious a tournament format with short games would increase competitivity.

This is way better. Streetball that’s limited to 10-20 mins. That should keep their short attention span of effort.

[DAF86]

I hope Steph posterizes Wemby tbh. But that means they have to beat the OGs who wont let it happen :lol

Why would any Spur fan want that and risk any type of animosity between our guys? :lol

[John B]

Candace Parker giving a lot of love to Castle. She’ll be thrilled to coach him in All-Star!

Castle should be the MVP of the Rising Star with all that love.

[vy65]

Is it just me, but is the tournament format working? Everyone seemed engaged in “the finals,” and this shit was oddly entertaining

[DAF86]

Minor complain: Castle played every single minute, and he's gonna participate tomorrow and the day after.

[ace3g]

MVP!!!

[TekXX]

Why not let Mullin keep coaching the team?

[John B]

Castle played all minutes tbh

[Seventyniner]

Our boy already bringing home some hardware. Hope he follows it up with ROY.

[thiste]

One more trophy for Steph!

And that will probably help with the perception of him for ROTY.

[tim_duncan_fan]

CAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEE


MVP!!

[vy65]

Steph hates friendship

[baseline bum]

:pop: "Knecht is a bum, not worthy of the 8th pick

:lol Yeah really sucked getting Fox with that #8 pick instead :lol

[weeks]

well deserved, castle made that team a team

[Robz4000]

Minor complain: Castle played every single minute, and he's gonna participate tomorrow and the day after.

Get that playing time in before Mitch has him riding the bench the rest of the season tbh.

[100%duncan]

Why would any Spur fan want that and risk any type of animosity between our guys? :lol

I’d find that funny tbh :lmao Maybe snaps out Sneezy from his slump

[baseline bum]

Nice couple of games, Steph! :tu

[spursparker9]

Minor complain: Castle played every single minute, and he's gonna participate tomorrow and the day after.

CIA Mitch already seen this coming by limiting his minutes :lol

[John B]

Castle Rising Star MVP. Castle getting a lot of props, love this AS weekend. That ROTY is next! But first I hope he gets a good showing tomorrow at the dunk contest. But he looks so composed like Caster-like that he seems so calculated and should be okay. Much of luck to our Spur Castle!

[spursparker9]

Castle played all minutes tbh

Spurs should hire Chris Mullins to replace Mitch

[spursparker9]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4pO4u2RbO8

Good, I hate prop dunks

[Gibbz]

Castle could potentially win all three nights of the All-Star Weekend and this retard Mitch Johnson played him 40 minutes the last two games :lmao

[John B]

Man that shot of the media following Castle around :lol

[DAF86]

I don't see it happening, but man, if Castle manages to win the dunk contest, he's gonna get a crazy buzz boost for the reminder of the season.

[Mr. Body]

The sort of thing that will raise his profile, maybe turns the corner a bit on the ROY.

[spursparker9]

Man that shot of the media following Castle around :lol

Pop better not see it or he will need Castle to get over himself :lol

[DAF86]

The sort of thing that will raise his profile, maybe turns the corner a bit on the ROY.

RoY should be a lock if Mitch and PATFO stop fucking around and just play him 30 minutes a night.

[TekXX]

I'm curious what kind of dunks Castle will do; he doesn't seem like a highflyer

[DAF86]

I'm curious what kind of dunks Castle will do; he doesn't seem like a highflyer

I hope he proves all of us wrong, but I can't shake the feeling that he might embarrass himself tomorrow.

[John B]

I'm curious what kind of dunks Castle will do; he doesn't seem like a highflyer

But he has that Carter poised, calculated. He’ll do great.

[Gibbz]

I'm curious what kind of dunks Castle will do; he doesn't seem like a highflyer

The NBA actually tracks dunk data these days, and he has the #6, #13, and #24 highest vert dunks of this season. He has sneaky bounce.

Also the top 3 vert are all Shaedon Sharpe, what a freak. Too bad he's in Portland.

Shh... you just summoned rascal.

[daslicer]

This is a pipe dream but imagine if Castle wins the dunk contest and then leads his team to win the All-star game and also wins All-Star game MVP. That would be an insane weekend.

[spursparker9]

:lol That would be like Dirk's playoff run in 2011 and Nephew's playoff run in 2019

[John B]

Reed did not even break sweat. Did he even score? Man looks like Forbes out there, too unathletic and short.

[Mr. Body]

Apparently the only player in the Rising Star games that didn't score. Amazing.

[Knoxxx]

https://youtu.be/X5sJbn0EXQ8?si=PMabIq3ts3sO_lUp

Looks like his head gets awfully near the rim on some of these dunks though he also enjoys using the rim as a pull up bar.

gotta play Team Shaq on Sunday... who actually have no center. was supposed to have AD. now their biggest guys are LeBron, KD, and Tatum

[DAF86]

On this format, they might run Edey out of the building.

[dn0774]

They can throw Amen at center for a small ball lineup perhaps.

Awesome for Steph today, very happy for him! This profile raising weekend will also help in off-season recruitment. It's not just Wemby, but now the Wemby/Castle/Fox big 3 that will attract FAs.

Read that Castle is only the second player ever who will now participate in all 3 nights of All Star weekend, Blake Griffin being the other.

[z0sa]

Castle needs to get over himself :pop:

[timtonymanu]

I loved how he waved bye bye after hitting the game winning shot. Talk your shit!

Boy’s got so much swagger and he’s on that Kawhi development trajectory. He and Wemby will be feasting years to come.

[spurraider21]

pop in his nursing home watching castle celebrate after the game winner and participating in the dunk contest

It was like 23 minutes, total.

[Mugen]

Alpha Dog Steph

[The Truth #6]

MJ move

Yet without the egregious push off.

[Dex]

Just had a chance to watch, good shit by Castle. He was definitely the alpha on the floor...passing, assisting, and two big game-winning plays.

His talents are now going to be showcased on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night...first Spur to ever do so. Glad we get to see more of him on Sunday, although they are prob gonna get wrecked by Team LeBron.

I don't love the short time / low scores, but it did seem to make the games more competitive. We will see if the All-Stars follow suit. Also, LOL at the team of NBA players getting beat by the GLeague

[Dex]

https://images4.imagebam.com/75/25/d3/MEZNFEF_o.gif

He called game and waved bye bye. Love the confidence from this kid

[stnick2261]

Odds are almost non-existent.... but it would be hilarious if the Rising Stars team won the All-Star tournament and Castle became All-Star MVP in his rookie season without even being an All-Star.

[TrueSpursFan]

He wins 3 trophies would be crazy

The game maybe more competitive that you think. Team Shaq lost their only big man when AD went down. Team Candace needs to relentlessly attack the rim, and run Castle/Edey pick and rolls to expose the lack of rim protection. If they can quickly jump out to an 8-10 point lead they can trade baskets and still win with this point ceiling format.

[TheBallsbreakers]

Anyone of you fine fellas got a link to the games?

Exactly. Doesn't need it right now, we'll see when he's 35 and has 5 titles tho :smokin

I don't recall Edey playing a lot of minutes despite starting. Yes, Castle's teams looks good overall and I was thinking the exact same thing, as far as adding the better Thompson twin this is a formidable young team. I would love to see Shaq's team of old farts be the ones run out of the building. Refs probably don't let that happen, I'm sure it will be a foul just to brush LeBron. Either way, MUST SEE TV

I'll give credit to the new format...Team LeBron is going to have to put up some effort, because you know Castle & Co. are gonna be coming hard for that upset. LeBron, Steph, KD etc can't just show up and play normal "nobody gives a shit" basketball

[rascal]

I wonder how the flight from Boston to Oakland was for Wemby Castle and Paul. Did Paul talk with Castle much about pg play? The rest of the team went back to San Antonio.

[DAF86]

WTF :lmao

[TimDunkem]

That was hilarious.

[bbarry]

:lmao

[BatManu20]

Wemby and CP3 disqualified :lmao

[Robz4000]

:lmao CP0 outsmarting himself

[DAF86]

That was hilarious.

They have to laugh it up as the biggest troll job ever. :lmao

[TekXX]

lol ok the should have read the rules. Do the same but actually shoot at the basket.

[TimDunkem]

They have to laugh it up as the biggest troll job ever. :lmao

I gotta give it to them. Cp3 and Wemby showed us something during All-Star Saturday that we've never seen before. They certainly made this event more entertaining. :lol

[Leetonidas]

Wtf was that

[TekXX]

Who's this dumbass telling her she can't interview.

[Pauleta14]

Enough of the Cp3 experience

[TimDunkem]

Enough of the Cp3 experience

It's not that serious.

[baseline bum]

What a shitshow :lmao

[itzsoweezee]

Who's this dumbass telling her she can't interview.

Some dummy who shouldn’t have that job

[scott]

Hopefully Pop is calling Mitch right now to bench CP3 after whatever the fuck that was.

:pop: That’s not who we are

[MannyIsGod]

Lmao. Nba mad as hell.

[BatManu20]

No way Silver lets us get Cooper Flagg after that little stunt tbh :lol

[TDomination]

well sucks that they were 1 and done but its funny cause they did something that exposed a potential loophole. whats the point of having 3 shots if you don't have to make them.
they probably should've at least shot them but shot them consecutively, where they are not even trying to see if they made the first one before shooting the next one.

[scott]

Wildly hilarious though….

NBA: ”You’ve been chosen as 1 of 4 teams to showcase your skills on national TV…”

CP3: “Well my skill is being a cheating lil’ bitch so I got you fam” :lol

[mystargtr34]

😂😂 to be fair that’s about the level of seriousness NBA all star weekend deserves.

[mystargtr34]

😂😂 Donovan

[Obstructed_View]

Chris Paul skirting rules. What a fuckin surprise.

[scott]

Now… if Castle comes out and just takes a bunch of layups during the dunk contest, that would make this an epic troll job

:pop: All Star Saturday Night is not who we are… make sure they never ask us to do this again

[CorrectCrusader]

Who's this dumbass telling her she can't interview.

nba goober

[mystargtr34]

Now… if Castle comes out and just takes a bunch of layups during the dunk contest, that would make this an epic troll job

:pop: All Star Saturday Night is not who we are… make sure they never ask us to do this again

😂😂 imagine that. Then next year we can enter the three point contest and have our guy wheel the ball racks under the basket and shoot layups.

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby let down by his skills challenge teammate, again

[siraulo23]

:lmao

[DAF86]

I love how we all automatically assume this was CP3's doing, because of course it fucking is. :lol

[baseline bum]

What a stupidly designed skills challenge. Should have made you have to hit one of the shots.

[rascal]

I gotta give it to them. Cp3 and Wemby showed us something during All-Star Saturday that we've never seen before. They certainly made this event more entertaining. :lol

No they didn't. It was a big failure

[Dex]

Not gonna lie...that's a dumb stunt to pull.

I understand All Star is a spectacle and CP3 thought he found a loophole in the rule, but just obey the spirit of the fucking game. It's not a big deal.

CP3 is that dude who will be counting the banker's dollars in Monopoly to make sure he is dealing things right

I am embarrassed for Wemby tbh

[DAF86]

What a stupidly designed skills challenge. Should have made you have to hit one of the shots.

It is boring AF. They should change it for something like HORSE, or better tricks.

[Dejounte]

I mean it is fucking dumb that you dont need to make a shot.

[itzsoweezee]

What a stupidly designed skills challenge. Should have made you have to hit one of the shots.

Agreed. What’s the point if you don’t have make any shots?

[Degoat]

What’s hilarious, I bet they just retired the skills challenge lmao it use to be okay when all the top guards in the league competed and wanted to win it but now it’s a clown show with bigs and having a teammate

[Mal]

:lol

[Das Texan]

if you aint cheatin...you aint trying fellas!

[TekXX]

What a stupidly designed skills challenge. Should have made you have to hit one of the shots.

Word, make them shoot until they hit one

[BatManu20]

NBA execs so butt-hurt that they wouldn't allow CP3 and Wemby to be interviewed afterwards :lol

[mystargtr34]

At least we have Gelo Ball here to cringe it up and take the cringe away from CP3

[Das Texan]

I mean it is fucking dumb that you dont need to make a shot.

Should have invited Vassell and Keldon to be in this event if you dont have to make shots.

Thats one of their specalities.

[Joseph Kony]

That shit was weak. CP3 is a clown for that idea and Wemby looks lame for going along with it

[DAF86]

No they didn't. It was a big failure

I loved it, tbh. :lol

[TekXX]

Damn this rapper sucks, skips half the words

[DAF86]

It would have been infinitely better if they would have gone last in the first round. :lol

[jhfenton]

At least we have Gelo Ball here to cringe it up and take the cringe away from CP3

Seriously. WTF was that? Did no one listen to an audition tape?

[itzsoweezee]

Amateur hour at all star Saturday. I think I fell asleep that was so trash

[rascal]

I guess CP3 didn't think they could win it hitting their shots.

[BatManu20]

LiAngelo Ball out here lip-syncing his already shitty ass song :lol

[Dejounte]

https://x.com/josh810/status/1890941952427790843?s=46

Victor just taking the fall for CP3 tbh, i don't buy that Vic would try to cheat in the fucking skills challenge

[scott]

That shit was weak. CP3 is a clown for that idea and Wemby looks lame for going along with it

I agree. It’s a fun troll job… but really just looks like our guys care so much about winning a meaningless contest that they’re willing to violate the spirit of the contest.

Even if it were allowed, the result would just be that they’re known as the bitches who cheated to win the fucking Skills Contest. If it wasn’t our team that did this, everyone on this site would be mocking the guys trying to pull of a move like this. Pretty lame.

Is this part of CP3’s invaluable mentorship? Teaching Wemby how to be a bitch?

[BatManu20]

Don't buy it. Wemby taking the fall like a good teammate tbh.

1890941847846920236

[spursparker9]

I thought Wemby always said he will be true to himself, true to the game...something like that.

how disappointing facepalm..

[Dejounte]

It’s not cheating if several NBA execs told them it would be alright to do it beforehand tbh

[Degoat]

Idk the French do like cheating lol

[itzsoweezee]

https://x.com/josh810/status/1890941952427790843?s=46

thats one explanation for why chris looked so pissed

[tonight...you]

You guys taking this stupid shit way too seriously.

[scott]

Pop probably just had another stroke watching that shit

[Dejounte]

I thought Wemby always said he will be true to himself, true to the game...something like that.

how disappointing facepalm..

The skills challenge isn’t a basketball game. It’s a circus act with a reward at the end.

just because someone found a way to break the game doesn’t mean they’re killing the spirit of it

this reminds me of doing process improvement at a job. Workers dont ask themselves why they do a certain task. Its not until someone looking at the process from outside the box do they realize they could change their process for the better.

[scott]

Cam Johnson must also be trying a strategy where you don’t actually attempt to make shots

[CGD]

lol at the Cam Johnson lovers

[Obstructed_View]

Is this part of CP3’s invaluable mentorship? Teaching Wemby how to be a bitch?

Nobody in NBA history better qualified to do it.

[Obstructed_View]

Who is Cam Johnson and why did they put him in this competition? He fucking sucks.

[Ni-G]

To trol a bit more we should send Sochan for 3pt contest.

[Degoat]

Yikes cam

[hater]

Lmao why are ppl over analizing the fucking nba skills challenge :lmao

Who gives a shit

Hope Castle has at least 1 or 2 great dunks

And thats it.

Who gives a shir abour this shit all star crap

I mean, it’s not that big of a deal… but this is obviously something that was already thought about, since the rules say a “valid” attempt must be made and they were immediately DQd.

Agreed though that the skills challenge sucks and at a bare minimum you should be required to make a shot no matter how many attempts it takes.

Steph v Sabrina and Mac’s emergence as a dunk artist have been the only exciting parts about Saturday Night as of late

[baseline bum]

Should have invited Vassell and Keldon to be in this event if you dont have to make shots.

Thats one of their specalities.

Neither could have done the three attempted passes at the beginning

[CGD]

This is fucking brutal jeez

[scott]

Neither could have done the three attempted passes at the beginning

Devin: takes 37 dribbles, shoots fadeaway on the wrong basket
Keldon: immediately takes it full court for a dunk, yelling the entire time

Spurs, DQd again

[Obstructed_View]

Why is the three point contest full of dudes who can't fucking shoot?

[baseline bum]

Damn Sochan could have advanced in this competition

[baseline bum]

Keldon: immediately takes it full court for a dunk, yelling the entire time

Yeah they'd get DQed for not making a good faith effort at the passes

[hater]

Damn Sochan could have advanced in this competition

Advanced to last place? Yes he would

[mystargtr34]

To trol a bit more we should send Sochan for 3pt contest.

I was just thinking that. Have him shoot one handed too like his free throws

[scott]

Cutaway to Devin arguing with NBA Execs that they shouldn’t be DQ’d because it was never (and has never) been explained to them what a pass is

[scott]

To be fair to Wemby, he probably went with this strategy because he knew he didn’t have the stamina for a second round

[Obstructed_View]

He grew up watching Kobe.

[Obstructed_View]

Oh oh oh oh.

Dame is here. I saw some article about him. They are trying to set him up for this.

[hater]

Lillard shooting like an old man

Ce la vi

[TimDunkem]

No they didn't. It was a big failure
Oh boo hoo.

[scott]

Have heard some people bring up how Silver is probably hearing from the gambling partners about this…

But I was thinking that if you’re the kind of person who bets on the All Star Skills Challenge… then your app should automatically just dial the gambler’s anonymous hotline for you :lol

Meanwhile, in the NHL All Star game, a fight broke out between USA and Canada within the first 2 seconds of the opening puck drop.

Hey Adam Silver… I got an idea for All Star Saturday Night…

[Dex]

Even in an three-point driven league, now the three-point contest sucks.

LOL at Dame shitting the bed

Castle, please give us something fun to watch

[Obstructed_View]

Reggie Miller is literally retarded.

[TekXX]

Reggie Miller is literally retarded.

Please tell me he goes away when TNT loses the rights?

Reggie Miller is literally retarded.

Hes been making millions for years doing this


I dont think hes retarded, dawg

[Dex]

Goddamn it, they brought in Kenny to yell into the mic again

[daslicer]

Please tell me he goes away when TNT loses the rights?

Unfortunately NBC has signed him to do their NBA games next season.

[Obstructed_View]

Goddamn it, they brought in Kenny to yell into the mic again
Kenny and Reggie. Fuck.

[Dex]

They are letting fans vote online now? JFC, this thing is already a joke

:lol Dray saying that it was Wemby's ideas. Saw him went around asking at least 5 to 6 people that he can just toss up.

During practice only Wemby was practising the toss and CP3 was shooting normally.

[DAF86]

Holy shit :lmao

What in the WWE is this?

[baseline bum]

What in the WWE is this?

An All-Star game actually worth watching. Hope Canada won that shit 10-0.

[Dex]

This shit is so awkward :lmao

[baseline bum]

What the fuck is this stupid shit? Show the greatest dunk contest performance ever so tonight's competition looks even more trash? :lmao

[100%duncan]

This gay

[TekXX]

They're really trying to drag this shit out

[Obstructed_View]

I went and made chicken wings. From scratch.

Is Kenny still talking?

[Dex]

Vince: Tonight is not about me, despite the fact that we spent the last 20 minutes talking about me and I have a microphone in my hand and am still talking

[mystargtr34]

Lol at Jason Kidd with hops

[TekXX]

Castle really coming out cold and forced to dunk within 20 seconds.

[DAF86]

Ooh, nice.

[TDomination]

nice start from castle, good dunk

[TheBallsbreakers]

Powerful dunk. Decent start for Steph.

[baseline bum]

Steph coming out hard to Nipsey :tu

[mystargtr34]

The only thing that would make the dunk cost exciting is if someone blew out an ACL

[TekXX]

Ok umm can Stephon actually do any better than that?

[100%duncan]

That’s decent tbh

[baseline bum]

The only thing that would make the dunk cost exciting is if someone blew out an ACL

I mean that's the only way G-League White Boy don't win

[mystargtr34]

I think Matas is going to win

[Robz4000]

Should've got extra points for only needing one try tbh.

[ace3g]

Matas is done.

[DAF86]

An All-Star game actually worth watching. Hope Canada won that shit 10-0.

Meh, that fighting shtick is pretty cringy, imho. The only time something NHL related appears on my feed it is because of some of these pre-arranged "fights".

[mystargtr34]

I think Matas is going to win

I was just jinxing this for Steph tbh

[scott]

:lol Matas
