The Official NBA All Star Weekend Thread

[peternorth]

First on the bill is the All Star Celebrity Game (brought to you by Final Fantasy 13. My favourite memory of this "game" was watching justin timberlake take it a little too seriously years ago, chris tucker and brian scalabrine making an appearance (cause lets face it its the only way he'd get a gig)

He's playing again today.

Doctor Oz (Host, The Dr. Oz Show) Anthony Kim (PGA Tour Pro) Chris Tucker (Actor/Comedian) Terrence J (Host of BET's "106 & Park") Joel Moore (Avatar) Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks Owner) Pitbull (Musician, I Know You Want Me) Common (Musician/Actor) Terrell Owens (Six-time NFL Pro Bowler) Michael Rapaport (Actor) Flight Time Lang (Harlem Globetrotters) Special K Daley (Harlem Globetrotters) Big Easy Lofton (Harlem Globetrotters) Scooter Christensen (Harlem Globetrotters) Angel McCoughtry (Atlanta Dream forward) Becky Hammon (San Antonio Silver Stars guard) Rick Fox (Three-time NBA Champion) Chris Mullin (Five-time NBA All-Star) Nancy Lieberman (Basketball Hall of Famer) Robert Horry (Seven-time NBA Champion) Coach: Alonzo Mourning (Five-time NBA All-Star) Coach: Magic Johnson (Basketball Hall of Famer, ESPN analyst) Assistant Coach: Mario Lopez Assistant Coach: Drake (Musician)

Will Rick Fox take out cuban? Will Joel (Joe-el) Moore take on the guise of his avatar (an unfair advantage if you ask me)? Will Bob Horry hit another game winner?

Flight Time and Big Easy, very nice. Loved those two on the Amazing Race.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Tyreke Evans and the Rookies will get their ass kicked by the Sophmores today. Sophs have massive size advantage. Sophmore class is one of the best ones in years.

 

[peternorth]

nancy lieberman with a MASSIVE CARRY, but gets bailed out with a foul. wtf? one rule for her one rule for the others?

 

[RoosterLad]

Can someone please explain why they have this celebrity game on? I know it is all a bit of fun but my eyes are really hurting here.

[Vegas.]

KD looks goooooood in that suit. Go rooks.

 

[peternorth]

how do you get "stefan" curry from stephen curry?

 

[Westy Bogan]

That was the most boring shite game in the history of Basketball

NBA should hang their heads in shame.

 

[peternorth]

nice to bring back the dark unis (west) and the light ones (whites)

 

[peternorth]

finding the ball. a new cliche

 

[Westy Bogan]

NBA need to get creative with this weekend.

What about a topless dance off by the best of the best cheerleaders sponsored by HOOTERS?

 

[Dirtywhirl]

That was the most boring shite game in the history of Basketball

NBA should hang their heads in shame.

Even by celebrity game standards it was appalling, Nancy looked damn good for 52 though, would go there.

DeMar should take out the half time dunk contest with ease

 

[Westy Bogan]

BTW, can we have just one allstar weekend without seeing Majic ugly mug every few minutes?

him?

 

[Westy Bogan]

This is much better game

Go Tyreke

 

[Westy Bogan]

Peter - since you and I are the only ones watching this game should we have a Lakers discussion.

1. Will they win again this year?
2. Who is their biggest threat in the West to Lakers?
3. Should the forum crowd stop shouting MVP when Kobe shooting freethrows?

 

[peternorth]

wow gordon cant get this dunk off

1. i think we're a chance.
2. in the west i fear portland, houston and denver (most)
3. forum? that was ages ago mate. i mean, shit i was there in 84! no they shouldnt stop the chant. in fact many stadiums unite in the chant for kobe!

 

[Stiffy_18]

**** me is Jennings a chunker or what?! He is just interested in chucking up shots in this game.

Rooks actually playing pretty well. Their speed is giving a bit of trouble to Sophmores.

 

[Westy Bogan]

1. i think we're a chance. pussy fence sitting answer
2. in the west i fear portland, houston and denver (most) Fear no one in the west
3. forum? that was ages ago mate. i mean, shit i was there in 84! no they shouldnt stop the chant. in fact many stadiums unite in the chant for kobe!

Its getting embarrassing the longer the season goes on.

 

[peternorth]

westy, if lebron leaves cleveland will you still follow the cavs?

 

[Westy Bogan]

Jennings and Evans on the same team would be good to watch
