What kind of BS scheduling is this


The scheduling for this seems rushed as hell. NBA really needs the money that badly

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Probably more about making their partners at WarnerMedia happy than any direct money play...cause I can’t imagine the event itself is hauling cash in for the league

 

[MikelArteta]

i don't see why they couldn't have the events today

 

[Serious Face]

They really packing all this content into one day? Then again, with the way things are going currently, I can kinda see why...

IMO, the skills contest is a toss up between Luka, Chris Paul, and Sabonis.

The 3-Point contest is between Curry and... I don't know, I'm used to thinking of Curry as the front runner but we'll see.

I don't know why they're holding the dunk contest with no name players.

And the All-Star game? I will check it out, but I won't exactly be looking forward to it.

Overall, I can't say I'm excited for All-Star Day.

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Hold up, the game on now

David Stern rolling in his grave

Edit: I thought everything was today. Everything tomorrow

 

[rbksNgirbauds]

EDIT: Robert Covington is in the skills challenge. Are you kidding me
