I honestly don't think the NBA is the best basketball league in the world anymore...its just a bunch of clown shyt

I won't go that far.

But when ringzz culture is what it is, we've all turned into Eddie Murphy in the Remember The Time video. We're just not gonna be impressed by anything. Someone scored 50 tonight and for some reason we're mad at that guy.


I'mma say it again. Someone has to go into the all-star game and be the bad guy and be like "fukk your fun." If that means a flagrant 1 and causing everyone to be mad at you, so be it, but the mood will change after that and everyone's gonna focused on trying to embarrass you, but then you'll play harder.

Q.U./N.J.
The fans would have to speak up and say we’re not supporting the all star game unless the players are competitive but they won’t because this is the only time when most fans see their favorite players on the court at one time with all these guys abusing load management during the regular season

Nothing Bron, KD or Steph could say would hold any weight...because they've been just as guilty over the years.


You needed a prime Kobe, D-Wade...guys that had a history of playing hard as hell in these ASG's. Guys that were tone setters.


The ASG is dead. It's been dead.
Elam Ending at least did it's part to reignite that spark and get guys trying, no idea why they scrapped it.

Some guys legit had fun and it showed Saturday night.

The game tonight was one giant time killing event. At least last year Jaylen was calling for 1 on 1's on some Dyckman shyt. Tonight was just "let's get to 200"

I hate to say it, but it's gonna take someone fouling the shyt outta someone in a game like this to change the mood.

Like I said, ya'll take this a little too seriously. It's the All Star game, not the NBA Playoffs

NBA Playoffs stress me out already. Good to have stress free basketball for once :blessed:

Funny thing is I don't think they're all that competitive for those runs either. They're basically going at 20% the whole time and chucking logos.

What makes it competitive are the other non-pros on that court.


the clips I see of the summer runs, players are atleast working on their handles, post game, fadeaways, etc...they are more in their bag

All star games is nothing but

pull up 3
pull up 3
layup
pull up 3 from Logo

It's sad, but I think a big reason for that is you have try hard non-pros trying to do something vs the pro in order to prove something. They'll pick them up fullcourt and try to rip the ball even though they get embarrassed and are completely outmatched.

The key word though is try and that's what makes the pros push the action. These cats during the All-Star game aren't even trying to play defense on each other.
