    I watched all of his dunks on my big screen and it didn’t look to me like he was “pushing off” at all.
    Congratulations to the first ever three peat Dunk Contest winner!
    For me, it’s the only thing that has remained worth watching the entire weekend.

    Philly isn't even a play-in team currently, why are you getting shot up for that? Shut it down.


    Could be fun. An in-stufio 3 to the dome? With NBC and Amazon in the fold, it'll be nice to hear someone else talk about the game.

    Welp .... here's super slo mo to analyze all of them multiple angles. Some angles look like "maybe" some insignificant amount watching his arms and the smoothness of his jumps' upward motions, and others look like not at all.

    Chris Paul is such a clown. You’re going to try to cheat to win a skills competition really?

    These are perhaps the most amazing “basketball related” motion images ever …. 60%(?) weight given to content and 40%(?) to image quality??



    …. 6’2” white dude who broke Iverson’s state HS career scoring record. :cool: :cool: :cool:

    Edit ..... Yikes he came close to eating it in a nasty face first fall on the first one going over the car. A little past half way here from an elevated camera position you can see his left heel catch a bit enough to alter his arc and throw him off balance and why he went down to his chest on the landing ..... grazing the passenger side support near the windshield. Actually looking at the first clip now that I know it's there you can see it clearly too. Just a smidge harder of a catch and he would have face planted or messed up wrists or something. Probably why he wanted to do that dunk first so he had his freshest and strongest spring. Big Balls!! Ex Laker. :rock:

    LOL … new format and edict from Silver’s office to play harder in these new type “all star” games and same half a** effort/no D BS to start it off. Maybe they’re thinking they’ll ramp it up later in the matches.

    To be fair Wembanyama tried to play a little D and I didn't watch ASG like for 15 years
    Some guy won 100 K
    Lillard missed 3 on purpose

    ^^^ I turned that first game off after 3 minutes but have the evening on record. If Dalton does good I can watch but even that would probably too much of the farce efforts. Youtube highlights probably a much better way to see what he does. Is he hitting shots I take it?

    Well They lost...
    Dalton scored 8 points
    Curry -8.Lullard scored 9 and he missed on purpose when guy won 100 K.
    Shaq's team is exactly why because people do not watch the current ASG just a bunch of 3 points shots without an idea! The remaining 3 teams did at least something else.

    If you're trying to enhance the product and Tyler Herro is one of the 10 players the world sees on the court to start Sunday's game, you've lost.

    The stoppages are INSANE.

    Format change didn't raise the level of competition. Like at all. Fail. Flush it and try something else.

    Thought Brown, Kyrie and Wemby took tonight the most serious. Props to those 3.
