you answered your own complaint

it's an exhibition game that means absolutely nothing. I'd rather watch the best players in the world showcase their offensive ability than watch them risk an injury by diving for balls and taking charges

I never understood why people complain about all star games in any sport. It is what it is. it's been that way forever. just dont watch

what if they gave NBA Finals home court advantage to the winning conference?

I guess in my eyes, showcasing offensive ability means nothing if there's no defense involved. Showcasing offensive ability is what LeBron did before the break when he had Iggy guarding him. He had to create his own space, then nail the three with Iggy's hand in his face.

they need to have the all star game after the playoffs fuck.

No defense they can score to 200 pts

the dunk contest would be a lot cooler if they had Hibbert or Howard standing in the paint, ready to swat your shit

I still can't figure out why they invited Harry Barnes

he's not a stylish dunker

this is proof good basketball doesn't mean shoot fast and score more points.

if State had Kyrie Irving, we'd be national title contenders

2/17/2014 12:08:22 PM

nah. he'd get injured.

Coach K cost Duke a chance at a national title when he started Irving over Nolan Smith when they lost out of the 2011 tournament. However, it is easy to see why he made that decision, given Irving's talent.
