All Star Break Discussion

[A.Mopp]

If anyone plans on watching and feels the need to discuss

I'll probably watch some of the Rookie-Sophomore game since Lillard is playing.

Irving def best player in rising stars game but second best was Lillard. Was very interesting watching them play together.

1. Wish Lillard pulled off that Dominique Wilkens dunk.
2. Faried was a beast, even though he tried much harder than everyone else and had 10 free points at the end on dunks.
3. This was one of the WORST friday ASW as far as i can remember.
4. Lillard threw down an alley oop and almost threw down an even cooler one.
5. The only player i would trade lillard for in that game is kyrie. Kyrie will be a top 3 player in a couple years IMO, behind durant and LBJ.

I think behind Lebron and Durant Irving might already be 3rd best. His ball handling is just unreal, never seen anything like it. It's like the ball is a detachable magnetic body part of his. He is so fast and honestly Cavs would be better of just playing 2 on 5 with him and Zeller out there. He HUMILIATED Knight, while Knight is terrible it was still just DAMN.

[shen]

Lillard had 18 points 5 assists 2 steels with 0 turn overs.

[RC27]

Irving is just soooo smooth with everything. I cannot wait for CLE to become relevant again and watch him making a run for the title.

Have we ever had this many GREAT pg's in the league? Absolutely incredible.

What I liked better then Lillards numbers was watching him play with and against numerous future all-stars. I am a believer that experience from such an event can help, while not as much this year given everyone decided to see how many points could be scored and thus played no D, still provided opportunity to pick other players brains and see what he can work on.

[RC27]

I like this DJ Kennedy in the NBDL All Star game, but they play harder than the nba partly because there are scouts. Hard to fully understand his style in the AS game, but he is a big PG, unselfish and penetrates at will. 23 YO.

[RC27]

Also Jerome Jordan. 7' 253lbs. 26 YO center who is VERY active, athletic for his size and can jump. Apparently he can hit 3's too...

If we start to lose control of the season these guys would be fun to see.

Marcus landry (brother of carl who plays for GSW) also shoots LIGHTS out. IDK what else he can do but man he is on fire.

[shen]

Lillard easily looks like best PG in the skills challenge. Finishes with fastest time in first round while passes looked smoother and just better then anyone else.

[shen]

Lillard wins skills challenge over Holliday in final round EASILY.

[shen]

He made Reggie eat his words. Reggie said Holliday would defeat Lillard, and Lillard won by near 10 seconds.

Damian Lillard WINS the skills challenge! He got the two best times! Congrats Great Dame! And Reggie Miller, be quiet!

That's right.
