It’s All-Star Saturday, which includes the Skills Challenge, Dunk Contest, and the 3-Point Contest. Kevin Huerter will represent the Sacramento Kings in the shootout, which also includes former Kings Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton.
The Saturday night events begin at 5 PM PT.
Use this as an open thread for all the evening’s events.
Go Kevin!
Gallo del Cielo doesn’t much like our chances.
The Rooks needed Keegan for the shooting challenge. Not a lot Skills in that Skills Challenge.
Let’s go, Kevin!
Rese just killed it in the first round. Can’t help but still root for the kid.
He’s easy to cheer. But I’d like to see Red Velvet win it (of course)
Sigh
Ouch. That was rough:
Dray – He’s gotta do better next year
Reggie – He won’t be back next year
I agree with Reggie.
Should have been Keegan.
Not a good showing in Kevin’s first and probably last all star weekend appearance.
Dame was just trying to get into the Finals. LOL
So much for the fake marketing video they put out
Dame won. Not a shock. Candace Parker called it.
Congrats to Dame “should have been a King” Lillard
Huerter needs to go home and get his shot sorted out.
His 3pt shot seems to have gone to the same vacation destination as Fox’s.
Call me a purist, but the Dunk Contest should go back to the original format.
I’d be okay with getting rid of it all together.
Just let Aaron Gordon and Zach Levine go one on one every year
I’m just not a fan of you have all these chances to try some overly complex, off the camera, through the legs, pass to the 3rd row, bounce pass for the dunk over a circus clown.
Give is 7 dunkers, 3 dunks, 1 try per dunk. Top 4 move to 2nd round, top 2 move to finals.
That said, whatever that skills debacle was, they can kill that off.
I didn’t see the Skills Contest. And I’m bored as hell at work that’s why I’m watching the Skills contest.
Or the dunk contest I should say.
I thought shaedon sharpe was in the dunk contest
That was a dunk by Mac McClung!
Has a white guy ever won the dunk contest?
Brent Barry did about 30 years ago. But he’s the only one that comes to mind.
What’s that thing the NBA basketball players are trying to put through the rim in the NBA dunk contest?
The ball?
OMG McDunks got vert. WTF?
kings should sign him as a backup
He’s on a TWC with Philly.
Dame… Another amazing product of Nor-Cal… My personal favorite in the NBA… sigh
So mad at Huerter for embarrassing our franchise at such an important event on the national stage.
I just hope that Fox & Ox will show up, play hardnosed defense and dive for loose balls in the main event.
My expectations for the main entertainment event are:
Fox – couple of dunks, one steal, one long three and rest
Ox – one dunk, three boards, three assists and rest
Getting out of Utah without getting injured in a meaningless game should be highest priority.
Yeah, that’s about the extent of my interest in this
massive circle jer-event.Who plays in the ASG? That’s the problem. Like it’s an entertainment, business and networking event at this point. Basketball only interferes when necessary. If they could get away with shutting down the league for a week without ‘All Start weekend’, they totally would. The whole point of this weekend, now, is to increase the viability of your individual brand. It’s certainly not about basketball. Hasn’t been for 25 years.
At this point, I’m just here to laugh at it.
