Just following gamecast, but dang, Kawhi already with 25 points.

Also, Kemba is the 2nd leading scorer on Team Giannis currently.

All Star has been embarrassing for years.

Even these old all-star games are more competitive than today

Silver should find the way how to motivate the players and play their butts during the event. Maybe something like $5 Million dollar for each player on the winning team.

Absolutely zero defense. so much for Silver's attempt to make the game more competitive.

Even better.. Is if each member of the losing team loses 1million in salary, that should motivate them.

I think there's been some defensive stretches...it's been non-existent for the most part but there's been a few stretches of defense.

I'd rather no one gets injured trying to reach in for a steal, or ankles sprained.

Game is absolutely boring right now. Let's see what happens in the fourth.

All these highlights are boring because they are uncontested. Even Steve Nash gave more effort on D back then. Even offense looks effortless and lackadaisical.

Last All-Star game I watched that wasn't boring was the Ray Allen east comeback game.

Both teams' second units play with more effort it seems.
