OT: NBA All Star game open thread
Well this is a rather "different" way of introducing the players. And soon you will get to the NBA like it used to be back in the 70's and early 80's when defense was something not exactly shall we say....embraced.
Let the game begin.

Watched the intros and immediately thought, 'why am I watching this?' Needless to say I made the switch to Comedy Central and am currently watching South Park

Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway = the only reasons I'll follow the NBA even remotely.

Don't forget Jamal Crawford, putting up 18.6 ppg :-o

I am gutting it out waiting for the game to start. FWIW the National Anthem was damn pretty bad ass IMO. Gary Clark Jr doing it solo on the electric guitar

Two completely useless and unnecessary things I've noticed already at this game:
1. The referees
2. The 24 second shot clock

Loved all star weekend growing up. The parents and I would sit around the TV watching our favorite players. My fav jerseys were the 1992 ones when Magic won the MVP after sitting out the year due to HIV.
I still like it now but there is just to much extra crap. Like the pre game takes to long. They keep messing with the rules of every event. I am old school so just don't fuck with it!

This! All the extra crap is ruining it for me too. Just stick to the rookie game, slam dunk contest, three point shoot out and the all star game. They should make it mean something by giving the winning team's conference home field advantage like in MLB.

For reasons unknown Noah keeps playing defense when the East is on defense. Whoever he's guarding has got to be pissed at Hell with getting matched up with only dude not 100% conceeding the shot.

are still the Pacers and the Heat. I expect either team to win it all even though they will cruise though EC with ease.

Stern did retire.

It probably would not shock anyone at all to know that Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin are the most prolific scorers among both teams at halftime. Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving and Dwight Howard are leading the teams in rebounding.
Of note, the Eastern team is 6-21 from beyond the arc. From an offensive standpoint, that's rather been the difference.

And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I ever had.

Your mention of the name "Darko" in an NBA thread is far, far more painful to the ears than fingernails on a chalkboard could ever be. Especially to anyone who even ever-so-slightly followed the Pistons over the last several years.

Donnie Darko is an awesome movie! A lot funnier than you'd expect.

You mean to tell me that the NBA All Star Game can go suck a fuck?
