2026 NBA All-Star Weekend Thread

[Unbothered]

Why did this shyt start so early?

I assume it's because unlike TNT, NBC is a local station and they have pre-scheduled time slots for other programming such as the local news, etc.

That's one of the reasons why on Tuesday's NBC only airs one of the night's doubleheader games and the other is broadcast on Peacock. So the games don't overlap with local programming .

TNT is a cable station and I assume the NBA by way of Turner Sports had more control over its scheduling block which is games and post-game shows often went past the scheduled time slot.

That dude for the Magic fuccked hisself all the way up

 

[Damnshow]

There are so much little thigns the nba can do to make this better.

This ish was in LA and like zero star power, even in that shooting stars, silver should have done anything in his power to get like bron, bronny, shaq as a team with like denzel as the celebrity passer or even obama

3 point shootout is the most popular event should have been last, another even where i'd even shoe in old heads let reggie miller participate, tim legler etc. the jumper is the last to go as they say, and id also do it head to head

slam dunk slap a winning prize of like 2 million on it, and try and get big names in it or big young stars.

Outside of Giannis where were the other big stars? Flashing the camera to a luka, a jokic, a lebron, a durant, anthony edwards, kawhi etc. you can't even get your big stars to show up? This ish should be mandatory

The old gifs of Kevin garnett, shaq at previous dunk contests, even bron when that year he said next year

Silver is a fukking p*ssy, he can't do shyt to make those stars work a little more. He's just happy bunch of people paid for those overpriced tickets to watch that scam.

Main event will suck as well, then you will have all the media outlets talking once again how bad the all star weekend was and a week or two later everyone will forget about it.

Rinse and repeat.

Motherfukker why didn't you do them, IDK in the dunk contest?

 

[Silkk]

Why was he not in it?

Night of the choke artists. Carter Bryant choked the dunk title and Devin Booker choked the 3 point title away.

Glad Jase Richardson escaped serious injury but the two-handed power 360 dunk he pulled off afterwards was pretty good, especially for being 6'1" and a last minute shock invite.

Why was he not in it?

30 development groups say he isnt good enough for a contract

He's leased the IP for cheap 3x. Time for these teams to negotiate in good faith

 

[Silkk]

Dunk contest was trash. San Antonio dude should’ve won off that one dunk alone

 

[Silkk]

30 development groups say he isnt good enough for a contract

Even still, Stupid ass NBA should’ve invented a rule to let him enter as defending champ or something

 

[tremonthustler1]

Why was he not in it?

injured but he wasn't gonna do it anyway

 

[In The Zone '98]

Even still, Stupid ass NBA should’ve invented a rule to let him enter as defending champ or something

He chose not to it. Because he doesn't have a quality deal with a team

He is being used and he over it
