I've got to respect CP3 for keeping that same energy even in a meaningless exhibition.
Buddy Hield doing Buddy Hield things.
Shout out to KG paying homage to Mister Russell.
That was a hell of a dunk to waste on the first round.
Blake Griffin could never!

This is the lamest dunk contest i’ve ever seen
So, two part question:
- If Castle pulls off the win, would it be considered an upset?
- Seeing as how McClung hasn't managed to make an NBA roster in two years despite winning this thing two years in a row, if he loses, will we ever see or hear of him again?
Stephon Castle almost blew his third dunk because that buster couldn't make a good pass.
Listen, if you say that the Dunk Contest isn't good anymore, I'm not gonna hold you. I don't agree, but I'm not going to argue with you. If you think the Three-Point Contest is better, though, you're a lying liar who lies.
Mac McClung has played in five NBA games in his career, and has won the Dunk Contest three times.

A great way to fix All-Star Weekend’s Saturday Night - let the overwhelming majority of the NBA know that Mac McClung has won 3 straight dunk contests during Black History Month.

CP3 is an idiot for trying to game the system in an exhibition contest. They had a legit chance. Poor Wemby didn't have a chance to show his skills that the audience paid to see. He will get another chance tomorrow.
Hmm... Wemby says it was his idea. Good teammate. There's a reason CP3 was booed.

NGL...Watching Draymond run that "course", low-key, was quite hilarious.

I actually felt bad for the guy (Castle). That was pretty rough to watch.

The Spurs were trying way too hard to be funny without actually being funny.

Not to take anything away from McClung, he was impressive. But the repeated failed attempts from the Chicago and Milwaukee players ruined it for me. Castle’s dunks meh. I thought they were over scoring him to try to make it a competitive.
I don't think they were trying to be funny, I think they were legitimately trying to exploit a loophole. Word on the Street™ is that they got approval from the officials in the building before they did it, but then the officials changed their minds after the crowd started booing.
Castle's dunks were good, and this sounds like hating. Like residual hate for Fox, like you're so salty about how he left Sacramento, that it's bleeding over into dogging out his teammates, too.

Lakers’ LeBron James says he will not play in NBA All-Star Game due to ankle soreness.

First AD gets injured and now LeBron. Looks like the end is near for the Lakers contention hopes...

I actually enjoy this new format but I hate the Kevin Hart commentary.

It would appear that even Slamson got snubbed. All the team mascots were mobbing the kid that made the 100k Mr Beast shot and didn’t see him there.
