Circle je...uh, all star draft

Can anyone imagine if some of these top stars like Durant with the thunder had Gobert or the 2015 Warriors had him or LBJ had him during his first go around with Cleveland? Gobert would’ve helped these guys when even more championships. Imagine if the jazz had Gobert during the Stockton and Malone era. Just sad the disrespect players show Gobert these days.

This makes me not like the NBA.

That's how I feel after watching that video.

The all star game is a joke and it is being treated like a joke by the people playing in it.

I love the Utah Jazz, I'm not really a fan of the NBA. That's where I've been for years.

Same, which is a shame because I used to be a massive NBA fan. Now, I try to watch most Jazz games and will watch some of the later rounds of the playoffs, but it's not remotely the same. Like the Suns and Bucks are playing right now, and I'd much rather do just about anything else.
 
I honestly don't give a ****. I haven't watched an all star game for years and don't intend to start now. It's a joke and embarrassment to the league imo. Not worth my time.

In the 90’s the players would’ve been more concerned about winning and would’ve picked Gobert much higher hoping he’d play at least a little defense so they can have the upper hand. Don’t get me wrong the game was still bad back then, but nothing compared to what it is now. It was still a more competitive game through and through, and not just the last few minutes of the game.

They had the pride of winning the game, and the competition of the east/west rivalry. That's entirely gone now. Now it's just spoiled rich douchebags playing pickup ball.
 
I've heard media people describe the our fanbase as overly-sensitive and now I see what they mean. Gobert was not disrespected at all and people are acting like they burned his jersey and spit on the ashes. When it comes to Gobert especially this franchise is wayyyy too sensitive. The all-star game is never going to be Gobert's strong suit because it isn't a real game and no one takes it seriously and if someone played hard defense it's be a major faux pas, and that's okay. Should every player who doesn't get picked first fill disrespected? Is Toronto freaking out because Fred Van Fleet went third to last? This isn't that deep or serious. The all star game is a joke, it's just supposed to be fun. Andrew Wiggins is a starter because of K-pop fans. Gobert is going to be okay.
 
ASG games are a complete exhibition. No one wants to get hurt which is why they don’t play defense and jack up 35 foot threes.

Anyone see the Pro Bowl game? They didn’t even tackle. It was two hand touch. ASG is a similar travesty.

Hell ya we are over sensitive when it comes to the nba and how we are looked upon. Utah has been treated like the red headed step child for as long as I’ve been a fan of the jazz. Harper and Ronnie Seikaly from the 90’s come to mind or Jordan complaining about having to Utah for the allstar game. And it’s only gotten worse from then on.

This video is a nice example.

Agreed, the Toronto media or fans didn't give a crap. Honestly as a Canadian Jazz fan the perception of Utah the jazz and the fanbase are still very poor. Being on this board and seeing how some of the members (not all) complain, comment and just bash other teams players solidify why we get the reputation we have. In all honesty I think every fan base does that but we are probably one of the worst, It's changing ever so slightly but there is so much that needs to be done and I don't think it will ever stray from what it has always been sadly
