2015 NBA All-Star Weekend Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I just thought of a genius idea. They should have a "Legends" section to All Star weekend. I would love to see something like this because I bet many of them can still ball and it would be awesome to see their competitive spirit get going again. I'm sure they would relish that opportunity. And it would be funny to see how bad many of them fell off. Another theme you might notice with my suggestions is that it is mostly people still affiliated with the league that you know have good personalities. Entertainment no matter what.

Have a 3 point shootout with all time great shooters like Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, Larry Bird, Dell Curry, Mark Price, maybe throw in Kenny and Steve Smith. Maybe see what Craig Hodges and Dale Ellis are up to.

Have a skills challenge with John Stockton, Magic, Tim Hardaway, Penny, Mark Jackson, Isiah Thomas, Gary Payton etc. Maybe Mark Price and Doc Rivers. I think people like JKidd and AI are probably too young for it still.

Obviously no dunk contest, but maybe replace that with a new event.

Then of course an All Star game. MJ, Bird, Chuck, Hakeem, Shaq, Magic, Reggie, Stockton, Isiah, Kareem, Karl Malone, Ewing, Dr. J (bet he could still hoop), McHale, Drexler, C-Web etc.
 
They use to have a legends game if I remember correctly. This was before the had a rookie/sophmore game. Now they just legends play in the celebrity game.
 
I'm still pissed they refuse to show the celebrity game on TV.
 
Congrats to Kevin Hart for winning the Celebrity Game MVP.
 
I'm just gonna throw this out there but if you think kevin hart is funny there's something wrong with you. Not me
I liked him in Soul Plane before he was really famous. Now hes just obnoxious.
 
Im mad the Grizzlies owner is a baller lol
 
I wish Stuart Scott was still with us. He use to host this game.

Cool they honored his kids before the game.
 
I have a decent amount of coin on the Int'l squadron and even more on the under 280.5.

I don't think these teams will be as chummy as years past, plus last year went under that total WITH a bunch of incredible talent on both sides. Int'l team is tall, and I think they are more talented.

All comments appreciated. I think vegas really mispriced these lines... Only thing I worry about is pace with Gentry coaching one side and the GS guy coaching the other, but I still see this game as 133-125.
 
Those jerseys are sick. Wish the All Star game jerseys were as cool.
