What Chris Paul and Wemby did at the skills challenge was absolutely shameless

[Don Homer]

So the act of finessing the rules wasn't hoe shyt, but the officials DQing them to keep the integrity of the competition is? It's an ASG Exhibition, just shoot the ball

"The integrity of the competition"

gimme a break
if they cared about that, they would've fixed that egregious loophole a long time ago. In addition, they would have told Wemby/Chris that what they're doing isn't allowed when they asked the officials.

They didn't care, they just wanted to save face when they heard the crowd reacting



The "integrity" of NBA games has been compromised for years. We out here thinking referees fix games, but the NBA is drawing the line at the.. *checks notes* ... All-star skills challenge?

How do yall find shyt to be so angry about every day? Even things that have no impact on your life.

Taking this comp more seriously than the NBA itself

 

[cyndaquil]

What they did was perfectly legal, it just ruined the spirit/integrity of the game. the backlash from the crowd is what caused the NBA higher-ups to dq them. They shouldn't have been dq'd tbh. They should've gotten another go at it, but told them to actually try. It's an exhibition, not an actual game. Lighten the fukk up. That dude telling Allie LaForce "we're not doing this today" shyt like it's a top secret mission was dumb as fukk and self-important.

But people actually bet on these fukking things, so it kinda makes it less fun

It's stupid. the fact that a "skills challenge" doesn't require you to actually make shots, is ridiculous in and of itself

Honestly, they should go back to the format where 2 players race each other at the same time.

They should race and have missed shots penalize your time by few seconds

They should race and have missed shots penalize your time by few seconds

of course. but they didn't means test their own event, that's how Wemby and CP0 were able to exploit it

I thought it was funny. NBA acted like some uptight boomers.

dude, it was laugh out loud funny. I loved it.

They should have ankle breaker 1 on 1 battles

Get the top defensive players from the G League to try and defend the best ball handlers in the league
The offensive player gets 24 seconds to try and break their defenders ankle and make a shot.
Then have a judges table like the dunk contest for flashiest possession.

 

[Sauce and Footwork]

It was bullshyt, but these two guys do play with they all and care about the game. So it was more funny to me. We know Chris Paul def care about winning over everything. So people can’t really hold this shyt against them like that for a fukking skills challenge. Not them 2. Wemby play like he care too. One of the only ones showing effort out there for the actual game. Let’s be honest. Nobody has ever given a fukk about the skills challenge

Man, that was the best part of All Star weekend.


Insane that people are still mad about this but not flopping, foul baiting, travelling, and all the other things that go on every night.

You mean more diabolical dirty Chris Paul type shyt.

I mean.
I hate they robbed Paul of an mvp on some racist shyt for jokic. When jokic is the guy on one of my two teams in mil and den. Yet shyt like this and Paul dirty play. Is why no one put up a fuss about him getting robbed out of being mvp tho.

Do not agree with getting robbed. Yet I know why it got no backlash. All from this Chris Paul type shyt in the past.

They should've waited until the final round and then did it

 

[Damnshow]

It's actually kind of ridiculous that this loophole even existed. How can you clear a station without making a shot? I don't care if it takes 10 shots, you better make one to move on

Exactly. Folks shytting on Spurs duo but first of all they should have fixed the rules.
You get no penalty for missing 3 shots in a row. They should have made the 1st shot attempt legit on each stage, if they missed it then just throw the next two as fast as possible. Thet could not DQ you like that I mean Mobley or Dray had an airball and no penalty was given. No difference if it's one airball or two as long as it's not all three.

 

[T-K-G]

I thought it was funny. NBA acted like some uptight boomers.

This, yes they still deserved to get DQ'd because neither of them even attempted a shooting motion, but that shyt was funny.



Wemby acts like a typical new age gamer, immediately tries to break the game by finding some exploit.

He definitely googles what the cheapest exploits are in video games :skip

 

[pimpineasy]

These nikkas game planned on cheating like this before going up there and shamelessly making a mockery of the skills of the game. Surprised Chris influencing Wemby to do stupid shyt like this as an OG of the game. It’s shyt like this why the league is a joke and ratings are in the toilet. The players don’t give an ounce of a fukk.

Non guaranteed contracts and a hard cap like the NHL and the NBA will be the best league in the world in 4-5 years. Once they pockets start getting tapped, all that “player empowerment” BS going out the window.
