You can’t see Lebron in the three point contest or dunk contest, but he’s putting on a show!

I’m not sure it really needs saving. If you turn into this game expecting real basketball, it will be disappointing no matter the structure.
Over-under was sub-300 as recently as ten years ago. The defense has always been sporadic; now it is nonexistent, except maybe the last few minutes of a close game.

Apparently Tatum’s new Jordans come in four colors, and he’s wearing the pink because he loves lemonaid.

Was that Jrue going all Sheed with the left handed jumper? At least we now know who wishes they didn’t have to cancel their vacation plans.

JB should have tried to lock up JT. Maybe he didn’t want to risk the other cheekbone

If the NBA wants a competitive game, they should award a Lamborghini to every member of the winning team.

If you watch old all star games, yes of course they let guys score but also lots of times there was legit (even if it wasn’t finals game 7 level) defense being played. This is just guys dribbling to the hoop and dunking while the seas part. Luka even said as Tatum was laying it in, “I don’t want to injure anybody”.

A relatively high end Lambo comes to around 1% of Giannis’s yearly salary.

I think if they has a special edition that made it identifiable for the achievement, maybe.

Like ARod and the Mannings, Draymon is much more likeable as a talking head than a player.

Tatum leads in points after the first quarter. Just sayin’.

It’s been like this for a while, but All of the all star game stat records are basically going to be meaningless if it continues on this path the next few years.

Kenny and Chuck roasting Shaquille for getting beat out for a Dream Team spot by Laettner has been the highlight so far.

That would be a nice hunting vest if it were orange.

3rd quarter gonna start anytime soon?
Why is this halftime so long with deep rosters?

I don't think this lady singing has hit one note. Not a single one. No clue who she is, but someone should have checked to see r if she could actually sing live.

A whooping 100K per Q!! The NBA is so generous....
It would be hilarious if the charity money was enough that the kids in the blue shirts were pissed off at Team LeBron for mailing in the end of that quarter.

“Nice defense asshole, guess my little sister isn’t getting an afterschool program!!”

Seems like it time to move in from musical performances at halftime. Something better has to be possible for the TV audiences.
