NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

Jump over shaq, jump over two hunched over people. jump over an influencer, somebody tell them there are other types of dunks. terrible dunk contest.

I actually thought the spinning dunk by Toppin was the best dunk of the night.

McClung with the little ball release was the other great dunk.

Steph knows he's the greatest shooter ever, he also supports women's sports and it would honestly have been good for exposure if she came out and beat him at the same time he beat the main field.

I mean the incels would have just focused on the smaller ball and continued to diminish her accomplishments, she proved she can go toe to toe with anyone at the contest which is cool.

I agree Steph didn’t have anything to lose reputationwise, but based on Kenny smith’s commentary (haven’t checked to see if he’s being lambasted for it but I assume he is) wasn’t just the incels that had a problem with it

I like the idea of exposure I just think a 1v1 sideshow is kinda weird. Would be down to see wnba players in the 3 point contest next year. That seems like it’d be pretty cool

Surprised nobody tried to jump over Wemby

Also I really don't get the point of jumping over people if you're going to ask them to bend, it just becomes a popularity contest

Kenny was getting **** on all night for hating everything. He was acting like he lost everything on a bet or something

Kenny is washed.

supposedly mcclung was supposed to jump over wemby originally

should just let professional dunkers dunk it's a way better product anyways

Vince Carter 2.0 is not walking through that door

West should roll tonight, right?

lol at Giannis calling this basketball's Superbowl

SRM you are the MVP of SE.

Doc is 3-7 since taking over as Bucks coach? lmao

East playing for Doc tonight and crushing it.

Pacers put up 86 in the first half against the Spurs earlier this year. East All Stars could only manage 89 with no defense. For shame

Somehow the nba won’t be embarrassed by this

Absolutely terrible

A pitiful performance

Adam needs to publicly apologize for this travesty.

Doc finally got a win.

Lakers put up 87 against Pelicans and another team (Mavs?) put up 47 in a quarter all in the past week or so.

Real missed opportunity by Haliburton not to grab Dame's MVP trophy and run to the locker room...

Lillard 7 more points on 9 more shots…

SHATS

Does a team receive money for winning?

I didn't watch because it is unwatchable. There were a total of three fouls in the entire game.

I watched periodically but every last bit of it was terrible. I watched the end cuz I wanted to see if 200 would be crossed

KAT scored 53 in a game they lost by 30 with absolutely zero effort made and even Slugworth couldn’t hide his disgust during the trophy presentation

The modern nba player (correctly) has zero reason to try in this nonsense. Either set it up so the winning team gets a couple million per player for the win and the losing team gets nothing or abandon this bullshit

Or have this game be the headline of all star Saturday instead of making it a two day shitshow
