The NBA All-Star Weekend Thread

Recommended Posts

I don't like Tony Allen. If it weren't for him, Trevor Ariza would be dunking right now.

Get over it. Allen's one of the best rookies this year.

(notice I said ONE OF so don't twist my words into me saying he's the best)

I personally don't like him because he took a spot that Ariza could have had, I didn't say he was a bad rookie. He and Ariza both have very similar stats, but Ariza is 4 years younger. Ariza is also one of the better rookies of the year, and a 2nd round steal.

Ariza has been a surprise contributor for the Knicks this year, it would have been cool to see him in the rookie game, but Allen's been good too, so whatever

 

Barkley is a notorious cigar smoker, and heavy drinker, so it's no surprise he gets messed up on the all-star break. He was probably smoking cubans and drinking whiskey like a fiend last night :headbang:

 

not to mention talking his head off :P

Jack Haley on FSN's "Southern California Sports Report" rumored at a possible trade involving the Lakers, with as much as three Lakers involved, that will bring a big-name star to L.A. "that will make an impact that will take the Lakers to the playoffs".

 

Any guesses?

 

I say Baron.

But it's Jack Haley, c'mon!  :rolleyes:

Supposedly, it's directly from Mitch Kupchak, but he's "handcuffed" on what he can say at the moment.

 

EDIT: ...and Haley said that it would go down as soon as this weekend.

Watch the Rookie challenge last night... and damn, Tony Allen was the shit... he was the only rookie I enjoy. Too bad LeBron chicking out of the slam-dunk challenge today.

...Caron Butler, Brian Grant, and Brian Cook for Allen Iverson?

 

Yeah, I'd be laughing my ass off if that happened, too. I don't see who the Lakers could trade right now that could bring a "big name" star to LA.

Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant on the same team? No way in hell that'll work, dude. And I definitely wouldn't want to trade Mihm either, considering he's the only solid center the Lakers have at the moment.

 

I wonder what Kupchak's solution is going to be, the guy seems to do more wheelin' and dealin' than a fantasy league owner. Are they really that staisfied with Frank Hamlin to keep him onboard? I heard the other day they just rehired Kurt Rambis as an assistant. That brought me back (as if this season didn't already) to the `99 season (the pre-Phil Jackson era).

Do NBA fans really want to hear Kelly Clarkson screech her awful music? What is the point of this? Just get to the competitions already, then maybe we could end this before midnight.....sheesh....

At least she did not do a nervous jig.

I think it was during the 3-on-3 competition last year that Charles Barkley said one of the funniest things on commentary ever:

 

:: Magic Johnson drives slowly from backcourt to rim, dunks ::

 

"He was lucky - that was a 3-second violation"

 

:D

Gilbert about to show his mad skills. AND he's wearing the alternate retro orange Baltimore Bullets uniform too, which he deserves extra points added to his score for...

Shit, it's the orange uni. :(

Lol.

 

Yea, that orange uni....with the PHX on it, sure did help Nash. :P I'm thinking this will turn out to be an all Phoenix night. (Maybe that's because I just won the NBA Championship with the SUns on NBA 2k5 but yea..>_>)
