2014 NBA All-Star Weekend

[Khalid80]

An enjoyable entertaining weekend overall... The BBVA and slam dunk contest weren't the best for me... This year's dunk contest was very short and there should have been a couple of more rounds... Or at least let Paul George and John Wall go one-on-one vs. each other even if they're from the same conference...

Sunday's All Star Game saw many records going down including:

1) Most points scored in All Star Game (318 total which shattered the previous record of 303 set in 1987)
2) Eastern Conference scoring 163 points (Previous record was 155 set by Western conference team in 2003 with 2OT's!)
3) Melo nailing 8 3's (Previous record was 6 which both Mark Price (1993) and Lebron (2012) had)
4) Most amount of 3's taken = 100!!! (Previous record was 71 from last year)
5) Blake Griffin with 19 FG's made (previous record was 17...which was held by Wilt (1962), MJ (1988) and KG (2003) )


Oh and there wasn't a single block for the whole 48 minutes for both teams!!!

A great weekend of basketball, I enjoyed most of the competitions (3-point contest, dunk contest, All-Star game). Kyrie deserved his MVP in my opinion, although the likes of Durant, Blake Griffin, LeBron and Melo were also very very good.

Melo's shooting reminded me of Glen Rice back in the 90's. Congratulations to Uncle Drew for taking over the east.

Shootout final was really a close duel between Belinelli and Beal.

This is the first time in so many years that I have enjoyed a dunk contest especially with a new gimmick of teaming up dunkers by their conference. John Wall had a nice flush to seal it.

Also, congratulations to Marco Belinelli for winning the shootout. He was on target for the final round.

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.

Haha yeah... I didn't know this also apparently happened last year as well

[CKR13]

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

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.

When actually is the All-Star Weekend this year?

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

It's official, Anthony Davis will replace Kobe Bryant in the west.

well deserve for anthony davis.
