I’m just watching the Steph vs Sabrina. Kenny spitting facts :pachaha: Which of course means he’s trending

How they gon fault him for it saying she should shoot at the girls line when she’s shooting a girls ball?!?

‘Well give her the mens ball then’ :laff:Pure facts which of course now means they’ll try to cancel Kenny and nggas will try to say he’s a MAGA c00n :snoop:

Jaylen does have Slam Dunk contest type dunks in his arsenal






He's just there to make a statement that more stars should participate. He crawled so others can walk

She regularly takes NBA-length threes in her own games. She can't regularly shoot an NBA ball. It's asking her to suddenly adjust to something completely different than what she actually does when she plays the game, and that puts her at a massive disadvantage due to her frame.


Why not just appreciate what she's doing for her? Every time someone argues that Sugar Ray Robinson was the GOAT boxer of all time, should we bytch that his opponents weren't as big as Muhammed Ali's opponents? Is it wrong to call Floyd the GOAT when he only fought guys below a certain weight, and even a lower-level pro in the heavyweight division could have laid out his ass?

Her shooting competitively from the NBA line was cool enough and impressed a lot of people. Shooting with an NBA ball would be an entirely different sort of difficulty that she couldn't realistically prepare for, just like a boxer fighting way outside his weight class, so why demand it?

It's a competition not an awards show :comeon:




If they wanna celebrate greatness at 3 point shooting that's fine.




It was billed Steph vs Sabrina




Same prize. Same rules. Otherwise it's just a shooting exhibition




She got smoked with a handicap :unimpressed:

NAH IM NOT MAD AT JAYLEN AT ALL.

AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE NBAPA
HES TRYING TO LEAD THE CHARGE
AND GET ALL STARS TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE DUNK CONTEST.



:devil:
:evil:


At all! He was sorry af, imo, but he competed tho. Much respect....I been gassing this nikka Ant all year IRL, 4th year player so he young, top 3 in game dunker, probably got more bodies than everybody since he came in; refuses to compete tho, I dont get these dudes man I really don't. Maybe the money too sweet now

See, the downside to it is the same as anyone who can dunk: now if they do a great job we’ll want them there every year and it’s chasing a high we ain’t gettin
Nah if they do a good job, we'll remember the performance, the names, the dunks, everything. Nothing more nothing less.
Them nikkas were ass last night, what was your favorite dunk? Since you love playing contraian in NBA threads so much

The same discourse every year :mjlol:

Maybe they need to get rid of it for a few years like they did in the 90s
