All Star Weekend

jod23 · Feb 13, 2015

I thought we should get a thread going for all things All Star Weekend related.

First off we have the Rookie/Sophomore game, or should I say USA v the World. Squads are as follows.

USA
Mason Plumlee - BKN
Nerlens Noel - PHI
Cody Zeller - CHA
Shabazz Muhammed - MIN
Elfrid Payton - ORL
Victor Oladipo - ORL
Zach LeVine - MIN
Trey Burke - UTA
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - DET
Michael Carter-Williams - PHI

WORLD
Giannis Antetokounmpo - MIL
Bojan Bogdanovic - BKN
Gorgui Dieng - MIN
Dante Exum - UTA
Rudy Gobert - UTA
Nikola Mirotic - CHI
Dennis Schroder - ATL
Andrew Wiggins - MIN
Jusuf Nurkic - DEN*
Matthew Dellevadova - CLE*

Inj - Kelly Olynyk - BOS
Inj - Steven Adams - OKC

Next up is All Star Saturday with the Skills Challenge, Three Point Shootout and Dunk Comp.

SKILLS CHALLENGE
Jimmy Butler - CHI
Jeff Teague - ATL
Kyle Lowry - TOR
Michael Carter-Williams - PHI
Brandon Knight - MIL
Trey Burke - UTA
Isiah Thomas - PHX
Patrick Beverly - HOU

SLAM DUNK CONTEST
Mason Plumlee - BKN
Victor Oladipo - ORL
Zach LeVine - MIN
Giannis Antetokounmpo - MIL

3PT SHOOTOUT
Kyrie Irving - CLE
Kyle Korver - ATL
Marco Belinelli - SAS
Steph Curry - GSW
James Harden - HOU
Wesley Matthews - POR
JJ Redick - LAC
Klay Thompson - GSW

Then the main event, the All Star Game.

Final All Star Squads.

EAST
C - Pau Gasol - CHI
F - LeBron James - CLE
F - Carmelo Anthony - NYK
G - Kyle Lowry - TOR
G - John Wall - WAS

R - Kyrie Irving - CLE
R - Jimmy Butler - CHI
R - Chris Bosh - MIA
R - Al Horford - ATL
R - Paul Millsap - ATL
R - Jeff Teague - ATL
R - Kyle Korver - ATL*

Inj - Dwayne Wade - MIA

WEST
C - Marc Gasol - MEM
F - ????
F - Klay Thompson - GSW
G - James Harden - HOU
G - Steph Curry - GSW

R - LeMarcus Aldridge - POR
R - Tim Duncan - SAS
R - Kevin Durant - OKC
R - Russell Westbrook - OKC
R - Chris Paul - LAC
R - Damian Lillard - POR*
R - Dirk Nowitzki - DAL*
R - DeMarcus Cousins - SAC*

Inj - Kobe Bryant - LAL
Inj - Blake Griffin - LAC
Inj - Anthony Davis - NOP

Steve Kerr is yet to name who will start in the other forward spot, he has named Klay and Harden in place of Kobe and Blake for starting spots. I think Aldridge will get the nod from Steve Kerr.

I will watch the Rookie/Soph game for sure, I have no interest in the Skills Challenge or the Dunk Contest which will be shit no doubt as it always is. The three point contest should be a cracker though, looking forward to that! The All Star game is meh.

Throw your predictions in lads...

I am also interested in the Rising Stars game and the three point contest but the other stuff on the Saturday I couldn't care less.

Usually the dunk contest holds some appeal but not this year. Not a great group although Giannis could be interesting.

I agree that the 3 pt contest looks great because they have assembled what all would agree are the best shooters in the NBA with the possibly exception of KD who is not in the Comp. They will all want to win to satisfy their egos as there has been quite a bit of recent commentary as to who is the best shooter particularly between Korver, Klay, Steph and Harden. Should be a cracker.

Then the All Star game itself is really just a bit of fun, without any serious defence, so not really that interested but may watch it.

Predictions:
Rising Stars game: close game but the world team just.

Skills contest: Kyle Lowry
Dunk contest: Giannis
Three Point: Klay Thompson
All Star Game: West
All Star MVP: Steph Curry

I think I'm going to have to unfollow NBA on all social media until after this weekend. They know how to spam.

Is that secretly you Petenorth?!

Drumroe · Feb 14, 2015

Watching the rookie game. So pointless when no one tries

Drumroe · Feb 14, 2015

Except Giannis. Hes definitely trying

PepeSilvia · Feb 14, 2015

I wish they'd actually play properly, would be much more entertaining.

Rough_Edges · Feb 14, 2015

that's why I don't understand the big deal everyone makes if the All-Star weekend....the games are nearly always boring because no one tries.
