Thank you Zach Lavine for breathing some new life in the dunk contest. First time in a loooong time I legit jumped up from my seat in awe.

Oladipo was nice too, especially his first dunk, just couldn't execute his last ones...they would've been nice if he finished.

Giannis and Plumlee were soooo meh....actually felt sorry for them/second hand embarrassment while watching ...

Would like to see any of the following in the lineup next year: Lavine, Wiggins, Derozan, KJ McDaniels, DJ....no superstars (c'mon, be realistic) but all explosive athletes with hops that can dunk.

Saw that coming a mile away... now where's my cookie?

Most bigs are trash in these contests unless they're freakish athletes like Dwight or Javale...

Lavine was my favorite, Oladipo was my dark horse but I wasn't much from Plums or Giannis. Thing is, their dunks they chose weren't even bad ones but they either missed a lot or the spectacular, oomph factor just wasn't there.

Tall guys/bigs are pretty much useless in the dunk contests these days....unless it's DJ, I'm not interested.

This game is such a joke. Only reason I even have it on is to watch Curry but the lack of anyone trying on defense at all makes it almost a farce.

Is this your first NBA All-Star game?

No but it just seems to get worse every year. They could actually make an attempt to play defense

Isn't a game. Just a shootaround

Yup. Baseball really is the only sport with a good AS game where the players go all out.

Because it actually means home field in ws, plus it's hard to bs around and not go all out in baseball. You're not gonna half ass swing a bat and half ass a pitch, but you're right mlb has the best all star game

always loved the all star game for what it is. a s**t show for 43 mins and then all business the last 5. once you look at it like that, its pretty entertaining.
