I don’t think dunking with your off hand is considered a big deal, tbh.So.. did the judges realize that Brown was dunking with his opposite hand? Or did that just not matter at all?
He dunked with his opposite hand while jumping over someone.. with kind of a windmill. I dunno.. I can dribble with my left but that's pretty much it.. I'm impressed with the control.I don’t think dunking with your off hand is considered a big deal, tbh.
Jaylen did well, didn’t have any stinkers are multiple misses. And most importantly, he stayed healthy.
I'm all here for it because I think it'll make it better, you seem against it because?Open the dunk contest up to anyone.
There are already people that do it for a living at contests that already exist. If they had one where it was open to anyone there almost certainly wouldn't be any NBA players.. which actually may be more fun.Open the dunk contest up to anyone.
I’d be shocked if they don’t do exactly that.Just here to say that I like the LED floor a lot.
Big improvement on the IST courts,m. If it's safer than those hastily painted surfaces, they should switch to this for IST.
There is zero incentive for NBA “legit players” to participate. There is a ton of disincentive. You’re delusional if you think JB making it as a finalist will get others - and if it does, is that a good thing? There is no creativity. You see these same dunks in a game given the style of defense being played from Dec-March in the NBA today.Some of this Saturday night presentation is unwatchable, like that passing thing in the skills competition.
They should strongly suggest that six legit NBA players take part in the dunk contest, and give them at least three dunks in the first round.
The three point contest is fine, and the NBA-WNBA element was fun.
Fix the dunk contest, and add more dunks, and streamline the skills competition, and that would go a long way to making this night more compelling.
I like that we can compare it to Jaquez' dunk over Shaq earlier, to see just how much higher up Mac got. He deserved to win this contest, but it's super dopey that he's even allowed in. If they can't get more than 2 NBA players, time to shelve it for another decade or so.Mac not having to launch himself using Shaq’s back/shoulders was the most impressive part of that.
Regardless of how one feels about the contest and its entrance criteria, I think this 1996 event would’ve been something to watch: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/page/allstar2016_96hrderby/how-david-ortiz-stole-show-ken-griffey-alex-rodriguez-home-run-derbyImagine someone from the Worcester Red Sox in the MLB home run derby
invite this guyOpen the dunk contest up to anyone.
That was fun. Payton really makes that clip.
Nope, and it’s back to East versus West.Are they still doing the stupid target score garbage tonight?
The CEBL does that and I hate it. I have been to multiple games where the exciting ending is a free throwAre they still doing the stupid target score garbage tonight?
How is Bird still on the outs with the team? I know that he had issues with previous ownership, but how hasn’t getting him back in the fold been a priority for Wyc?Tatum hadn’t met Bird until today? What?

Jokic, AD, and Towns are healthyI don’t watch the nba but how the hell is that Wemby dude not in this game?
Eh, this game isn't about the most valuable, those two are far more entertaining, all the little things DWhite does for winning aren't done in an All-Star game. KP on the other hand.....Young and Barnes over White is a traveshemockery

Great passing is both entertaining and done in an ASGEh, this game isn't about the most valuable, those two are far more entertaining, all the little things DWhite does for winning aren't done in an All-Star game. KP on the other hand.....
Porzingis is averaging 20.2 points a game on just 12.8 field goal attempts. He averages 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks a game. All in just 29.5 minutes a game.Eh, this game isn't about the most valuable, those two are far more entertaining, all the little things DWhite does for winning aren't done in an All-Star game.

I'm guessing the C's have tried repeatedly to get Bird back to Boston for various things, and he's declined.Tatum hadn’t met Bird until today? What?
