This action shot would make a great profile avatar
Roger that.
The lack of resistance in the rim is really painful to the eye.
Would you rather Jokic have taken him out? It’s a freaking all star game. It’s sole purpose is to entertain and keep guys healthy. The outcome means nothing.
He’s saying (and I agree) that watching NBA players make dunks while defenders literally get out of the way isn’t all that entertaining. So why bother with this “game”?
The all star game has always been the same and people enjoy it. Don’t pretend like they were playing hard-nosed defense in the 80s and 90s. If you don’t like the all star game, no one’s forcing you to watch. Many people enjoy it if for no other reason than for the only opportunity to see a collection of the greatest players in the world on one court.
What in the world are you talking about? The all star is not even the same basic structure it used to be. It’s completely filled by gimmicks. They have two players randomly pick teams. The 4th quarter doesn’t even have a game clock. It is a number based off honoring kobe Bryant. They have charity events tied to quarter scores. There is no east versus west any more. It couldn’t be more different than it used to be. Some people think it is better. Some think it is worse. But the one thing it isn’t is the same.
C'mon guys. You're talking about different things.
One's talking about the level of play, the other is talking about the structure.
How about we agree;
- the structure has changed quite obviously
- the point is still to win a ball game by putting the ball through the hoop
- people nowadays shoot more 3s than they used to
- defence doesn't really arrive until the fourth quarter
- plenty wide open dunks
That fair?
