My favorite is Gordon's under the *** dunk from a couple of years ago.

Good call. That one is up there with the best. He should have won that contest even Lavine was phenomenal as well

Charles Barkley just said the all star game has sucked the last few years. How dare he! That's so disrespectful. Keep your mouth shut, Barkley if you have nothing positive to say.

Awesome format leads to awesome game. Excellent Saturday and Sunday of All Star Weekend. Friday is terrible but what can you do?

Yah, it's been really fun. They really should bring back H-O-R-S-E on Friday. Or something more low key and information. That would really Jazz it up a bit (punn intended).

I haven’t missed an all star game in a long long time.
Tonight my wife and I went to Ruth’s Chris steakhouse for Valentine’s Day. She asked me if I was recording the game and I said no, I’m sick of the all star game. It’s lame.

Now it’s finally good? Fml

They should have a second 3 point shooting contest using only players that have not hit a single 3 pointer all year.

Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, Clint Capela, Jordan Bell, Kenneth Faried, Enes Kanter and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? Who wouldn’t want to see that? That’d be funny as hell.

Start to finish, it was the most competitive All-Star game I've seen.

I know LeBron carries the torch for trying to give back to the fan and making it competitive, but it was also the new All Stars Starters Embiied and Greek Freak that made sure there's DEFENSE being played. They also set the tone. Embiid blocking Westbrook was fun to watch.

That would be fun. But the NBA is so SCARED of killing the golden goose (i.e., damaging the League's image) that it won't. Same goes with HORSE, players making fun of themselves doing goofy things they just won't allow. Them not releasing the draft order made that quite clear (not wanting to expose who the last pick is).

Anything remotely embarrassing to their image they won't do, and that's a shame.

Something I would love to see is on Friday night is a mini 3-on-3 NCAA style elimination tournament with representatives from all the teams. That would really make the All Star weekend rock. But that would make it more fun than the All Star Sunday game so they won't ever do it.
