The NBA All-Star Game is the ONLY enjoyable All-Star game, it's fine where its at and offers a nice mid-season break that is fun and enjoyable.

[JStarr]

I seriously enjoy all the All-Star Weekend stuff (bar the Slam Dunk contest, which I can take or leave), but the game itself doesn't do much for me.

I did love the fact that last year, a 5'7" guy won the Dunk contest and a 7-footer won the 3-Point Shootout. (Y)

They should make it like baseball, where the winning conference gets homefield in the championship.

Also, go Cavs.

No.

I don't like the idea of players in the all-star game that represent a non-championship/play-off team dictating the outcome of home court advantage. Letting the best team with the best record reap their reward for being the best in the regular season is the only way it should be. I don't like it in Baseball either.

The Bavetta-Barkley race is by far the greatest idea ever for the All-Star game.

Dwight Howard was robbed.

Fuck Michael Jordan.

[Mr Evil Guy]

I concur. That sticker dunk was so much more badass than anything else in the entire competition. That should've been in the high forties.

[Vendetta]

Concur means to agree, right?

Not to mention I didn't see any of those guys jump as high as he did. Granted he is seven feet tall but damn...that's almost the top of the back board.

I'm so jealous of you guys getting to watch this stuff.

Last year I got to see the Rookie/Sophmore game and the All-Star game. This year Sky are only airing the All-Star game. I'd watch every event if I could.

Echo'd.

I just watched the highlights on NBA.com. Dunk contest looked a bit weak this year... except for Howard's sticker dunk of course B)

God I guess Scottie passed Michael whatever he's been smoking lately. Nate Robinson shouldn't have been in the finals this year and shouldn't have won last year. And if I have to see all these dunks with props every year I'm not watching the contest anymore it reallys show no originality when you use props.

[Vendetta]

I like the props. The sticker dunk was the best thing since sliced bread. Baby Shaq was awesome in that contest and in the end he got robbed by michael jordan.

[Trey]

I hate the fact that you're required to use the help of one teammate on a dunk, though Gerald Green's first was my favorite.

[jonnycomelately]

I felt the entire slate of events was fairly weak with the exception of Kapono's final round in the 3 point shootout, Gerald Green's first dunk and Dwight Howard's sticker dunk. As stated before Michael Jordan should never be allowed to judge a dunk contest ever again. Even as a Knicks fan, Nate Robinson had no business being in that final...but thats what being 5'9" in a dunk contest will do...get you the sympathy "wow if I was 5'9" I couldnt do that vote". And the skills challenge should just be abolished, each guy did not care whatsoever. And if you want sports comedy/horror watch the Shooting Stars again if you have a chance. Seeing Michael Cooper, George Gervin, and Bill Laimbeer shoot 3's and half courters was like watching a geezer fall down stairs or get punched in the stomach...you chuckled and cringed at the same time.

[VerbalPuke]

Maybe I'm the only one, but I really liked Nate Robinson's first dunk. I thought it was pretty damn impressive looking, although I haven't seen a lot of dunk contests in recent years, so I'm not sure if it's a duplicate.

By the way, would anybody else pay for a DVD box set of past slam dunk contests? I would.

[Trey]

His first slam dunk was very impressive, probably my favorite of his in these past two years.

Wow, watching the All Star Game, you get a really good picture of the kind of player LeBron is being this year. He just doesn't care and he just isn't trying.
