The All-Star Weekend Has Been a Disaster



The All-Star Weekend Has Been a Disaster

I’ve done nothing but hate on the all-star weekend but I will say there have been some good things to come from it so far now don’t get me wrong there were still a ton of very bad moments but today was very eventful with the first event obviously being the skills

Challenge I still don’t know why this is a thing then again it did bring us a ton of funny moments like Tyrese Maxi and other players forgetting the actual game even though there’s a bright arrow on the floor pointing exactly where you need to go which is a part of the new

NBA LED Court thing oh and Scotty Barn somehow lost his dribble literally the easiest part about the skills challenge he’s somehow managed to mess up but the other challenges were even crazier like this past challenge which I still don’t fully understand like I don’t know if I

Missed something but I feel like they didn’t really explain every other challenge they only really explained the first one and kind of left everyone else wondering what was happening the Pacers team did outsmart everyone on this by just focusing on the two that give the

Most points then to end it all we had two teams just throw a bunch of halfcourt shots up to see who makes it the fastest but like why should I even care about what’s happening if it takes them a minute for them to score a half court shot I don’t understand but that’s

Just me being picky right the NBA does need some sort of event to cover the earlier side of the broadcast so things didn’t really get intense until the first Three-Point Contest the Three-Point Contest this year may have actually been one of the best ones in a

While we had four people tie early on in the first round making it very intense but can I quickly mention what is the point in flying out all these referees just to sit there and pump their fists in the air repeatedly because they aren’t even officiating anything I mean

When cat was breaking the rules right he had his foot on the line the official did nothing but look at it accept it and keep pumping his fist in the air like why what is the point I’m not trying to sound negative or make it sound like I’m cherry-picking the bad things because

It’s not even bad I just thought it was kind of funny that these referees are there and they got flown all the way out there to do nothing but just do this like put me on the court please but everything else aside Dame made the Three-Point Contest very dramatic

Choking on his last rack until the very last ball where he made it making him a back-to-back three-point Champion he also then proceeded to let everyone know that he might be going for a three repeat which is actually really cool when we talk about star players not

Participating in a lot of these Allstar events the Three-Point Contest seems to be one that we could always rely on these players to show up on but we’ve all seen the Three-Point Contest before we know what to expect unlike the next event which was Sabrina vers Steph and I

Got to say I absolutely loved it I think Sabrina shooting from the NBA line was amazing and didn’t make it feel like she got kind of a handicap and at the same time we all knew that she could shoot from the NBA line and she killed it

Scoring more points than what most NBA players scored in the actual Three-Point Contest but Steph Curry is going to be Steph Curry he went out there and dominated and that’s it it was a great matchup everyone was happy and it was great for the game of basketball wrong

Okay it was good for the game of basketball but Kenny would not shut the up I mean seriously I could not take his commentating on this he wouldn’t stop talking about how no one cares about the Three-Point Contest and everyone’s only there for the dunk contest then went on to discredit

Sabrina by talking about how she should be using an NBA ball and not a WNBA Ball even though she requested to shoot from the NBA line instead of the WNBA line like it was originally planned out to be I don’t know how dense you have to be to

Understand that the ball has no real difference in this like I guarantee you if we gave Steph Curry a WNBA ball he would not have done so good because it’s not the ball he plays with if Sabrina played all of her regular season games with an NBA ball and she was accustomed

To it then that would make complete sense but anyways it was a ton of complaining from Kenny which was really annoying he even actually got into it a little bit with Reggie Miller near the end well according to you you want her just playing with dolls right no I

Wanted I wanted to shoot from where she shoots from no she does shoot threes in the game Ka but then we have the dunk contest which started off with the TNT cameraman missing the dunk how was your one job to capture the dunk not even happening and

When speaking about Miss dunks I feel like there were a ton of Mis first attempts in this year’s dunk contest and the judges did not like those Miss attempts because MC McClung missed his first attempt on the one dunk where he kind of you know let go of it and

Grabbed it again but then after actually doing it on his second attempt he got a really low score even though it should clearly be a 50-point score and then Jay Brown dunked over kaat which is a sentence I never thought I’d ever say in my life he then proceeded to get booed

He threw a glove on and dunked with his left hand which no one really cared for I mean this Dunk Contest was all over the place and it’s not even like it was the worst dunk contest like a lot of these dunks were actually really good I

Just feel like there were too many Mis attempts and it kind of ruined a lot of the hype not to mention when toen actually did have a very cool 360 I think between the legs dunk no one cared this was a dunk that was actually really cool but I think everyone had the

Preconceived notion that it was going to be a bad contest so they just didn’t even bother to get excited so as expected MC mclung won again making him a back-to-back Dunk Contest Champion even though he’s not in the NBA and if you were to ask me if I thought he

Should have won I tell you just to go watch this video where I talk about the dunk contest and how allar weekend has kind of gone downhill I will say though I enjoyed a lot more moments so far than I thought I would but comment down below

  1. The Allstar Weekend need something new and not these over-complicated events.
    They need to do 2v2 half-court.

  2. I am a lifelong Celtics fan, but even though I am proud of Jaylen for giving it a go, the entire dunk contest was a disappointment. Jaylen was ok, but he didn't impress. Mcclung also did not impress me with any of his dunks at all, even the one where he took his hands off the ball for less than a second in the air. He did the same last dunk as what that Heat player did for his first dunk, jumping over Shaq. Boring. Where was the creativity and the guts to do something unheard of before? Lets see him jump over a cut out of Shaq on top of a chair or something. Mcclung claimed he was going to show us dunks never seen before, but he did the same dunk as someone else. The only contest that was kind of fun was the WNBA player vs Curry wherein Curry trolled the WNBA player who gave it a good shot.

  3. I went last night to witness all is this and apart from what you guys seen it was nothing compared to actually being there….yes judges were all over the place with scores and heard booing loud than I ever heard before!! This was a bucket list of mine and I'm actually glad I went… seeing all the celebs and All stars in one place indeed was amazing!!!

  4. Um actually its the Directors/technical directors job to decide which camera is live so the cameraman is not at fault šŸ¤“ā˜ļø

  5. Are you dense? The rim needs to be smaller if the ball is smaller. That's a handicap if it's not. She was still handicap

  6. Kenny is the most insufferable among the Inside NBA crew. Like Shaq and Chuck will say some stupid shit sometimes but they're at least consistent. Kenny is always all over the place with his arguments and just tries to come across as way smarter than he really is.

  7. It gets worse every year, lol and I say this every year . I'll wait until the last 3mins of the game before I start to watch

  8. If you donā€™t think the Wnba ball didnā€™t Matter in that 3 point contest then you shouldnā€™t be making content talking about basketball. Smh

  9. you clearly don't know anything about basketball if you say using a wnba and nba is basically the same, the margin of error is huge, the ball control and weight …

  10. He better not get fired for this for saying something is 100% true. If they don't want it to be true sick everything goes like the NBA. Then the NBA get their Champion the WNBA get their champion and then those two player against each other in the seven game series

  11. The actual allstar game was the most boring thing I've ever watched It was like a half speed warm up practice
    3 point contest and dunk contest were better… the dunk contest was alright not amazing

  12. Why are people watching this useless game of fun? The four major sports should just ban the all star games…waste of time..

  13. bro donā€™t click bait like that you didnā€™t even mention anything about kenny being fired

  14. Go back and watch every All Star Weekend for the past 15 tears its always peppered with the annoying voice of Kenny Smith. Only thing more annoying is having to listen to Malika Andrews on every NBA show.

  15. After watching the All Star game Iā€™m no longer sure if a 1 v 1 tournament is the answer. None of these guys take it seriously. Only the 3point contests were legit entertainment because everyone is competitiveā€¦

  16. There are lots of male NBA players with smaller hands. They would benefit immensely from a ball that "fit the grip of their hands", like the WNBA ball. But no, they just deal with it. There should not be two sets of standards in a competition – not having a level playing field upends the entire point of competing.

  17. Like in the past couple of years this was totally a crap. The fans wait all year to see the best player compete and this is all only a show. No competition and basically no defense at all. I changed the channel before the half. Just a total waste of time.
