well deserve for anthony davis.

[Milos.Djuric]

well deserve for anthony davis.

I can't say he doesn't deserve it, but Dragic deserves it just a little bit more than the Brow. Brow is a dominating type of player, big wide reach, more athletic type, while Dragic as CK13 would say reminds you of Steve Nash, a leader who gives a lot of balls, while shooting with high precision, scoring a lot and helping move his team to one of the biggest surprises of the season. Also, the replacement was for Kobe, who plays on a position of SG, which is similar to Dragic's position (SG/PG) while Davis is a Center/Power Forward player. I'm not surprised it was Davis, especially because he is a player from the city where the weekend will be held.

And while I do think that Dragic deserves it a bit more, I'm actually happy that he didn't get it, you don't give him an all star call and he scores 34 points/10 assists, from only 13 field goal shots while fighting dizziness

For the celebrity challenge, Arne Duncan put on a feat with his all around play. For the BBVA challenge, Andre Drummond was named MVP from Team Hill because of his 30 points and 25 rebounds performance. Knicks rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. had some highlights plays and finished with 36 points.

Last year's BBVA game was more entertaining cuz Kyrie Irving had some phenomenal mind boggling moves and players weren't missing shots that bad.... I did enjoy the 1 on 1 battle Waiters and Hardaway Jr. had towards the end of the game in the second half... But overall I was expecting a bit more

Yes, last year had more flair compared to this. I remember Kenneth Faried with 40 and 10 for MVP honors. This year had a funny ending with the trophy splitting in two.
