...not that anyone asked, but nbc is doing too much. I'm absolutely shocked they aren't making nba weekend streaming only.

Interesting article on a mid season re-draft. Good write up on Knueppel.

“He's trailing only Flagg in scoring (18.9 per outing), angling for 50/40/90 club access (48.5/42.8/89.9 slash line”

Forgot the All-Star game was this weekend. Shame that these all-star celebrations are largely irrelevant across all sports.

Me too, really didn't even know it was All Star weekend until I saw this updated thread title.

And still don't care to watch any of it. All-star game 4th quarters used to be enjoyable, but has been years since I could stomach watching the game

Yeah, the only thing I find entertaining now is the 3-point contest.

Everybody has badmouthed the dunk contest for so long that the high profile players see it as more of a potential stain than a chance to stand out or redeem the event. Hard to blame them, we’ve seen nearly everything there is to do except for sillier and sillier stunts and theatrics. Sometimes those land, but rarely inspire.

This from the days when it was an honor and privilege to participate, and an unspoiled audience had never seen anything like it. The best unknown (to many) dunker in NBA history

CP3 announced his retirement. I know his behavior at Wake, but I always liked him as an NBA player. Great, great talent and competitor who through circumstance and occasional unclutch play never quite got a title.

Definitely an all-time great and among the top players to come out of NC, which has put out a number of all-time greats.

Prob #2 in NC all time. Worthy was really good but not as good as Paul.

#1 of course is Lebron.

Steph Curry is definitely #2.

I forgot about him.
