    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 Mitc 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.

    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

    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.

    Sure, but he was born in New Jersey. Likewise, Mitc 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" bull a thousand times during the dunk contest.

    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?
