2012 nba all-star weekend

[BigOrange]

oh hello KD

[HornsN04]

Hell of a dunk there by KD.

[BigOrange]

lebron is ridiculous

[BigOrange]

and then KD!

[stunns38]

I got the over on 100 dunks tonight.

[MNLonghorn10]

Is Andrew Bynum really the best center in the west? That is sad, where are all the elite big men?

darko milicic didn't get the serbian votes

[MNLonghorn10]

i like how everyone courtside is black and wearing sunglasses

[MNLonghorn10]

carmelos a dumb$#@! and i would never want him on me team. ever.

why on earth is he an all star STARTER? $#@!in fans suck

[PatrickBateman]

i like how everyone courtside is black and wearing sunglasses

It lives up to it's nickname of Black Thanksgiving....

[MNLonghorn10]

[hornfan785]

Oh $#@!. A special performance from Pitbull?! LET'S HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME! LET'S HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME! LET'S HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME! LET'S HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME!

[5280]

[hornfan785]

In ______, they get crazy.

Do it to me like one, two, three, four. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro.

[gecko]

I suddenly have a strange desire to party under an overpass and drink Dr Pepper.

[bigup2dahorns]

the black gloves really complete the look

[SomeoneYouKnow]

so i just looked at the boxscore (havent watched any of the game) and i think it's funny westbrook has already taken 11 shots (granted he's made 8) as a reserve, which is more than anyone except lebron and KD. he can't stop it even in an exhibition game

[MNLonghorn10]

i like how he wears leather gloves AND sunglasses.

[stunns38]

This song is turrble. Sounds like a generic Coca Cola(or Dr. Pepper) commercial.

Music is turrible in general these days.

[gecko]

This half time looks like a commercial for booty sweat.

[Hook'em Horns]

Nice to see the NBA enables a woman beater by allowing Chris Brown to perform at its halftime show. This is the same company that wants its players to have a dress code when they go to games because the players were looking too "thuggish" Glad the NBA has its priorities in order.

[Blotto]

What in the wide world of sports is a-going on here....I'm not paying you guys to jump and dance around like a bunch of Kansas City $#@!ets!

Can you really blame him? Yeah the guy is a ball-hog but he does have a good shot.

[dontlookatme]

Lebron seems to be taking over in a game that doesn't matter. Sounds about right.

[runthebone]

Kobe looked annoyed that Lebron did something so stupid there.

[PatrickBateman]

KD with the MVP!!!! Nice.

[STFU Donny]

Lebron can't miss but passes up the last shot and turns it over. Sounds about right.

[bborange]

KD with the MVP!!!! Nice.

Congrats KD!!

[Mountaineer Maniac]

Made me smile to see Lebron throw that pass away. That guy is the biggest tool in the NBA with the exception of Stern.

[Rocko20]

Lebron can't miss but passes up the last shot and turns it over. Sounds about right.

The guy crumbles under pressure like clockwork.

[H34TX]

can't decide which is more fake - the Oscars or this AS game

[BigD4UT]

Lebron can't miss but passes up the last shot and turns it over. Sounds about right.

Also sounds about right that despite Lebron doing that, they still go interview him first after the game. Not KD, Kobe or any of the other players with the stones to take the shot. What a joke!

[H34TX]

the best athlete of the 3?

DRose, RWestbrook, DWade

[Hook'em Horns]

Skip Bayless is such a troll but he is so right about Prince James. The guy is so anti-clutch. Seriously name another big star that would throw that pass with 6 seconds to go?

[Hook'em Horns]

the best athlete of the 3?

DRose, RWestbrook, DWade

Westbrook

[Captain Obvious]

So apparently Wade broke Kobe's nose.

The NBA went to a block party and a game broke out.

How can anyone in their right mind call what took place last night a basketball game? The last time I saw anything resembling what transpired in the "All Star" game it was at Meyerland Park in Houston on a Saturday afternoon. No, that's wrong. The kids at Meyerland actually played the game. Last night looked like a shoot around, not a game. David Stern should be ashamed to put something like that on the floor. Of course, Stern is suffering from a severe case of myopia and can't see through his own bull $#@!.

It's an exhibition and about 90% entertainment. It's fun to watch the greatest athletes in the world showcase their staggering skills.

maybe my memory's tricking me, along with a good dosage of naivete, but i remember as a kid the games used to be somewhat competitive... we're talking early-mid 90s

They've always been exhibitions. The guys play hard in the final few minutes because they still want to win but no one is going all out defensively throughout the game. Too much to lose and nothing to gain.

This. And on top of that it was a close game that came down to the final possession.

last night's game was in doubt until the final buzzer, how could it be more competitive?

unless you mean the guys tried harder the whole game... but in my mind, it's always been pretty much a free-for-all for three quarters, then things tighten up in the 4th. hell, when magic did his i'm not dead yet thing in 1992, everyone just let him walk down the lane until the last possession.

The west also beat the east by 40 in that game so it was far from competitive.

I can't remember the last time I watched the NBA all-star game. Or the NFL Pro-bowl for that matter. Both are horrible.

[naked_bongo]

These are exhibition games. Show off skills, and don't get injured. What did you expect - a Rick Barnes defensive clinic?

[Longhorn_C]

Last night's game was a ton of fun to watch. If you couldn't watch that game and be entertained, then most likely you suck.

[STFU Donny]

I can't remember the last time I watched the NBA all-star game. Or the NFL Pro-bowl for that matter. Both are horrible.

That's like saying "I just watched Caddyshack and Caddyshack 2. Both are horrible."

Try watching the NBA all-star game next year. It is ALWAYS highly entertaining and awesome.

Eh, there is no convincing the "the NBA All star game sucks guy". No matter how good the game is or what sort of unbelievable performance they see their response will still be that it sucks. Same as the "NBA sucks guy" in general.
