That was so lame how Curry missed all of his half-court shots.

Dunk contest was also pretty bad. Pretty pathetic how the judges tried to keep Derrick Jones Jr. in the contest even though he literally missed a dunk. 37 for a missed dunk?


Curry has mental issues in the spotlight. Lol! His finals performances haven't been Curry-esque.


ouch

I guess they've stopped using All-Star weekend to promote the WNBA. I hadn't realized that til Reggie called on Candace Parker to participate in that Sager Strong thing.

God if LaVine could come back from an ACL and join the dunk contest a full year later... that would be amazing

This is my favorite scenario if he's not ready though

Just finished watching my DVR of last night festivities. I mean I generally do like the Skills Challenge but when the Skills Challenge is the most exciting part of the whole night... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now this is an all-star game. Competitive, yet still entertaining the fans.



How did it get to this lay-up drill we see in the past decade?
