2023 NBA All-Star Weekend Thread

[stepbackj34spud]

Yeah, I'm using someone who actually played in those games you're referencing. I would think he has a little more insight than you


"Show me". fukk you want me to do, pull up old NBA tapes and do a virtual watch along with you? Just look at the scores of those previous "competitive" ASGs. The scores are always outrageously high relative to the era for a reason. Because they're out there having fun and getting cardio in until it gets tight late.

Thats exactly what I want you to do you goofy fukk. There’s a ton of old all star games on youtube. I just pulled up one before my time that ive watched from start to finish.

You and the other dude seriously have no clue wtf you are talking about. The high scoring in the past games isnt an indication of the effort that was displayed.

I just linked the highest scoring game of the 80s where they are playing hard and displaying effrot.

Its a face paced game with the best players in the world. Naturally, a lot of points will be scored.




^^ highest scoring all star game of the 80s. Does this look they were not playing hard?

Dont quote me with box score stats.

What defense is being played if everybody scored at least 120 in the 80s.

With no 3s. What are you talking about??

Yeah, I'm good on that. You seem like a miserable person to watch basketball with.

"They played hard for 4 quarters back in the day "

Actual players from back in the day. "We took it easy until the 4th when it got tight "


Just admit the game has passed you by and keep it pushing. Sticking around just to bytch and moan about the current game while looking back at the "old days" with rose colored glasses on just seems like a waste of time to me.

I ain’t even bother to watch this shyt lol I already knew that it was gonna be wack.

NBA all star weekend ain’t special anymore…

Now it’s just an event where entertainers and IG whores come out, make money and socialize.

And the players of today ain’t gonna go hard like that because it’s an exhibition and there’s nothing to gain from it.

Nobody cares about the actual game…they just wanna have a good time, turn up and stunt.

Was just skimming it an immediately saw a Hakeem block and later on Isaiah take a charge against Worthy

There was 63 fouls called and 91 FTs shot in that game lol
Which comes with its own issues as obviously we don't want the ASG to be a FT contest but there is no way people coming in here saying defense wasn't being played in a game where 63 fouls were called just cause the score was high

Just admit you dont know wtf you are talking about. You want to be a nba talking head but not actually watch the product. Foh.

They didnt actually watch those games bro. @GOAT & @In The Zone '98 think because they scored high in the past, the played no defense like today.

Like i said, the highs scoring inst an indication of the amount of effort that was displayed. Actual watch those games and go see what im talking about. High pace game, with the best players in the world=naturally high scoring game

 

[stepbackj34spud]

@GOAT

Since you want to be a goofy fukk and use an idiot like charles barkley as a refence point i’ll humor you today.

1993 all star game(the year barkely went to finals)


1991 all star game(the year barkley won the mvp)


Yeah, Barkley was just going through the motions in these games. Lots of matador defense being displayed.

1980... 144-136
1984... 154-145
1985... 140-129
1986... 139-132
1987... 154-149
1989... 143-134

With no threes.

Thats...defense

 

[hitmonlee]

Last time it was good was when they implemented the new rule a couple years ago. Everyone was serious in the 4th. First team to 22 I think

 

[Flight]

Dude makes 30 m’s and is talking about money talks to get in a defensive stance in the ASG. The Players legit have Adam Silver in a headlock lmao…

 

[hitmonlee]

I thought Jayson Tatum’s BM was black? Even if she’s mixed tho, why Deuce look like a white boy?

Might not be his kid

Like I said game of telephone. Bron can do 100 things right but have a couple missteps and that’s what that new generation follows. Not even a direct effect but indirect.

Superfriend culture is on Bron and the way these nggas play is like they sacred to interrupt each other from scoring.

Dunk contest is a prime example. Before bron, Kobe Vince, tmac ,Jordan, etc all entered. Lebron declined and we ain’t had a star enter it since

You want to see LeBron do the same Tomahawk dunk? I’m pretty sure complain about that too.
