Thread off to a late start given two events already took place last night. Here's all you need to know about last night

Celebrity Game


BIG ARN



Shooting Stars Game




OK, now on to today and tomorrow's activities

12 Noon Saturday - All Star Practice

lol @ this being a televised event but it is kinda cool TZ favorites The Basketball Jones (now the Starters) are hosting it

3 PM Saturday - DLeague All-Star Game

Again, who cares? Pierre Jackson been killing it all year in DL, he'll probably MVP and be on a team by end of season

8 PM Saturday - Shooting Stars Challenge

They shoot a lot and no one cares a ton, will probably be boring

East
Team 1: Tim Hardaway Jr. (NYK); Tim Hardaway Sr. (Legend); Elena Delle Donne (Chicago Sky)
Team 2: Chris Bosh (MIA); Dominique Wilkins (Legend); Swin Cash (Chicago Sky)

West
Team 1: Stephen Curry (GS); Dell Curry (Legend); Becky Hammon (San Antonio Stars)
Team 2: Kevin Durant (OKC); Karl Malone (Legend); Skylar Diggins (Tulsa Shock)

Skills Challenge - After Shooting Stars

Actually kind of a fun one to watch usually but it kinda lacks star power this year. They run a course of passing, dribbling, and shooting to go for fastest time. Dame is reigning champ and back in it

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
DeMar DeRozan, Toronto Raptors
Michael Carter-Williams, Phila. 76ers
Victor Oladipo, Orlando Magic
Trey Burke, Utah Jazz
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
Goran Dragic, Phoenix Suns
Reggie Jackson, Oklahoma City Thunder

3pt Contest - After Skills

Good group this year. Curry is the favorite at 7/4 but you'd be insane to bet someone at those odds in this group in this contest. Bellinelli will prob end up shipping it

EASTERN CONFERENCE
Arron Afflalo, Orlando
Bradley Beal, Washington
Kyrie Irving, Cleveland
Joe Johnson, Brooklyn
WESTERN CONFERENCE
Marco Belinelli, San Antonio
Stephen Curry, Golden State
Damian Lillard, Portland
Kevin Love, Minnesota

Dunk Contest - After 3pt Contest

Good lineup. Some real stars in it plus Mclemore who many are saying has some insane stuff ready. New rules this year pit conferences against each other including both a freestyle round and then a 1 on 1 battle round or something.

EASTERN CONERENCE
Paul George, Indiana Pacers
Terrence Ross, Toronto Raptors
John Wall, Washington Wizards

WESTERN CONERENCE
Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
Ben McLemore, Sacramento Kings

Is the 3pt contest conference vs conference like the dunk contest? Because that is a murderer's row of 3pt shooters out of the West. So LOL East. Also I got DAME surprising people in the dunk contest, he's got a 40" vertical for ****s sake.

good idea creating this thread, previous comments were spamming the real NBA season thread.

I kind of want to dislike you because of this snarky comment, but your avatar appears to be a half bald eagle/half man holding an American flag while lighting strikes behind him. And your location is USA, so overall.

zGeebs with an elite avatar, damn son

mcw + oldadipo +375
kyrie +625 (overall winner)
mclemore +525

asg mvp

curry +950

TNT challenge on now is hilarious

o/u on "run through the tape" being said during the challenge is like 105.5

I think they are already at 20+, solid line. Can't get over how tiny a baseball bat looks in Shaqs hands

LMAO

cwebb struggling in the clutch whats new

IN YOUR LIFE

Anyone know where I can watch this online?

Whose dick did Nick Cannon suck to get all the jobs he's getting? Other than being lucky(?) to marry Mariah Carey he has 0 other talents.

Nick Cannon is indeed the WOAT .

Thought that was Michael B. Jordan hosting the show.

At least it is not Kevin Hart.
