"Galantly gleaming"?

"Say just that star spangled"

Did Keke just freestyle the national anthem?

They said Schroeder was from Greece instead of Germany in the player intros. He didn't look too happy about it.

Oladipo is not as good a one on one player as he thinks he is.

Rising Stars game is very interesting.

Players who've impressed me so far.

Wiggins, Greek freak, gobert, dieng, morotic, Schroeder, and lavine

That guy Gobert looks like he's 9 feet tall.

Pitched an idea in the lakers trade deadline thread a week or two ago.

The gist of it was trading down our pick by swapping with Utah, in exchange for gobert. That way we get a rim protector and a lotto pick (albeit a worse one).

But vtf informed me we can't trade our pick till the draft order comes out this offseason.

Utah wouldn't do it anyway. He's already a foundational piece for them

I thought this Kenny Smith reality show thing was a joke. Who in the world thought this would be a good idea?

Looking forward to the 3 point shootout! Probably the greatest ever.

Do the fans still vote for the dunk contest winner? I know they changed some of the rules back but didn't hear if they stopped with the fan voting. That was one of the big reasons I stopped caring about the dunk contest.

I am looking forward to the 3 point contest as most people seem to be. Tough field but i'll pick Korver he is on fire this season.

Beverly seemed more lucky than skilled.
